Aside from the craftsmanship and uniqueness of the dolls the attention lavished on them by their owners is turning many heads. These dolls aren’t kept in glass cases only to be shown at doll shows. Many owners treat reborn dolls as though they are real babies. The life like nature of the dolls and the desire to recreate feelings of motherhood have many owners dressing, feeding and pampering the dolls.
Reborn dolls can range anywhere from $50-$5000! The more life like and more hand crafted the doll is, the more it is worth. Some of the higher end dolls integrate technology into their design to increase the realness. Machines that simulate heart beats and raise and lower the chest to simulate breathing can be found in the higher end models.
