In Australia police were called to rescue a baby that had been left in a sweltering hot car while the parent went in to shop.  The police and emergency personell showed up, broke the car window and rescued the baby only to find out it was a reborn doll.  These dolls are so life like you have to be inches away sometimes to tell the difference.

The Interesting World of Reborn Dolls

Reborn dolls are extremely life like baby dolls that have become the hottest collector’s items on the market.  The high level of craftsmanship it takes to make one of these dolls combines with their rareness to make for a collector’s dream!  An entire sub-culture of fanatics has been created around these unique dolls fueled by increased media coverage and word of mouth.

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.
