Prog on Ch4 at 10 tonight about those scary Reborn dolls and the women who make them

[NomDePlume]

Have Sky+'d it

Clean wheels wom,an looked like Big Bird from Sesame street

I loved the way she told the woman in the shop it was a doll, like it was a really noraml thing to do

I am never cooing into the pram of a strangers baby ever ever again. It might not be a baby, it might be one of these macabre jobbies

My friends 9 yr old is now very confused about where babies come from after watching the trailer

check this freako out

I'm sorry, If that came into my house, IU'd be violently sick

she looks like that little boy who was an antiques expert and always wore a bow tie who years later embarked as a tv presenter (as a woman)

it says she , "melts into your arms", you wouldn't be able to sit near a fire with her then.

Could you imagine if a friend turned up at your house for coffee with one of these things?

snigger

You mean jame/lauren Harries?

Yes, tis an amazing likeness

i did think the premie babies were a bit weird. seems the women do it for attention more than anything else.

He's called lauren now

sorry X posts sheikh

DS1 asked me what a reborn was when he saw this thread earl;ier and I went to eBay and found that one Skeik! Ds1 screamed 'EURGHH' and wouldn't look at the screen anymore pmsl!!

The premmie ones are odd. I have had 4 premature babies, but would be very upset if someone gave me one of these..

Very creepy indeed

Normally on Freak TV, you have a bit of sympathy for the folk on there, but at the end of this I had no sympathy at all, especially for Big Bird and her DH (Roland Rat)

I've just logged on to see if there was a thread about this! I caught this late on C4+1 and watched open mouthed all the way through. I found it very disturbing indeed and can't stop thinking about it. Beyond creepy..

What did the grandad actually say then?

I sat watching it last night like this >>>> My jaw was hitting poor Callum as I breastfed him..... lol

The grandadsaid that he didn;t like it because it was like something off a mortuary slab

He wasn;'t far wrong either

God, DP would be gone like s hshot if I started collecing thses creepy things

Reborn forum

"do not go searching for forums about this there are people say reallymean things about doll collectors"

No, surely not!

The chopped up babies in teh oven gave me the heeby jeebies.

OMG they were delighted with the programme, they thought it showed collectors in a really good light

Darn, I missed it...am having strange attack of giggles or rather wetting myself at this thread though.

On a sad note, I have a friend who once mentioned these babies. We are both interested in antique (Victorian) dolls and she happened to mention having one of these...it wasn't spoken of again as I think she realised I don't like them, but as we got more friendly she told me that she lost a baby a long time ago, when pregnant, and then trying for years to have another with no success.

It makes me think how awful it must be to long for your own baby so much, and then end up with one of these nightmare sentimental objects because there is no other way to get close to the child you lost, or what it would have felt like to hold etc.

And then to pick up this horrible waxy thing and to find that it is only vinyl, God, God almighty the disappointment and pain.

I feel very, very fortunate not to 'need' one of them.

lol hunker

now i'm going to worry about all those reborns out there that don't find good homes... what if they fall prey to www.reborn-baby.com/reborn-fairy-bramble.html wild animals?]]
