Reborn dolls are made to be lifelike and can be personalised, they are hand-painted with extreme detail. Each Reborn doll is unique and can have freckles, rosy cheeks, specific facial expressions, skin textures and even birthmarks.
Owners of Reborn dolls can also request extra features, including battery-operated 'breathing machines', human hair or a scent that blends baby powder and infant laundry detergent.
