There is lots more cool and fun stuff to check out like this unboxing video.

I notice that the comments are turned off on most of their videos. Sadly this is often the case as people say nasty things which is really unforgivable when children are involved.

Sometimes it can surprising how upset some people get about Reborn Dolls. Many of us love and cherish our reborn babies but for others they can be upsetting to see.

Lina Mikaelson shared a picture of her newborn baby doll “Emilia” on instagram and was taken aback by some of the messages she received. Lina had hoped to have our own child but it didn’t happen.

Lina often takes the doll for walks in a stroller and is approached by strangers wondering how old, the name etc…just normal questions about a baby.

She has to be careful to answer correctly and listen to her gut feeling as sometimes people are not happy when they realise it’s a reborn.

She will sometimes tell a white lie to avoid any confrontation while for others she will simply say, no, it’s a doll.

Lina has suffered in the past from panic attacks. When traveling with a friend who had a baby, she noticed that having someone to look after helped her focus and get through the anxiety.

A new tv series from M. Night Shyamalan called “Servant” will begin screening later this month.

From reading previews online, it will likely fall into the horror genre. It involves a young people who hire a nanny to look after their baby.

Things however as is normal in this genre, don’t go according to plan. Each week will see the mystery further unraveled. Mr. Shyamalan is certainly known for liking a story with a twist or two.

Shyamalan has spoken a little about the Reborn baby they used for filming. He said it cost more than ten thousand dollars to purcahe and was amazed how lifelike it was.

A lot has been written in the media about how much money some people choose to spend on reborn dolls.

The general consensus of a lot of the articles particularly in the more thrashy publications tends to offer an almost disapproving glance at those who have spent large sums amassing their collection.

Personally, I feel it’s the decision of the buyer. They are the ones who know how much joy reborn dolls bring into their lives. The word “priceless” often comes up in conversation with those who collect reborn babies.

The other point is that not all reborn dolls are expensive. There are plenty of cheap reborn dolls options for those who either can’t afford it or would prefer to spend a modest amount.

Take a look for instance at the reborn dolls for sale listed here. There is quite a difference in price between the various models usually based on materials used, how realistic plus the reputation of the designer.
