Reborn type dolls

8 replies

My daughter wants a reborn type baby doll. Does anyone know where to buy a realistic doll. I don’t want a very specialist one costing hundreds. Just one that looks more realistic size/appearance that would keep a kid happy for Christmas.

any suggestions?

eBay. My daughter had a lovely one when she was a little girl. Baby Annabel was too obviously a doll so she absolutely loved her reborn one. Hers came from America and was very reasonable.

Thanks so much!
she wants a really specific one from some YouTube she watches but I’m going to have to get the closest one I can find. Did it take long to come from America?

Ebay or Gumtree if you don't want to spend loads. There are also reborn style dolls on Amazon although be careful because they don't always look like the picture. If the price for the picture of the doll seems too good to be true it usually is.

This actually happens to be quite similar to the one my daughter wants. Thanks!

Don’t buy the ones like this i.e. seller has loads in stock and is based in China but pretends to ship from the UK etc. They aren’t reborns or anything like them, they’re just mass-manufactured cheap factory dolls and you’ll be disappointed with the finish as not like photos. Have seen posts on FB of what buyers have actually received.

The second hand market for reborns is pretty cheap compared to new. You’ll be able to pick up a fairly amateur one, but far better and more realistic than a factory made one, for under £100 on eBay or FB.
