Hey, no worries. I completely understand. It sounds like the vinyl is missing that texture or proper varnish. It also looks like it was perhaps painted with air dry paints as oppose to genesis heat set. I always look at hair. If there is something that is slightly off about the hair (color, texture, quality), I do not buy. Whatever bothers me in pictures will bother me 1000 X more in person. Kids can usually be honest. They go with their gut. I would say sell. I sold my first 2 reborns. It took me months to finally come to that decision. I should've done it sooner and gotten along with my collecting 🙃😄 I've considered buying headbands from pearl. I thinkbI will take the plunge 😁. Thank you for sharing 🌈.
Thank you for you advice ❤ Yes, I'm very thorough when purchasing my dolls too. The artist had this doll for sale and when I contacted her, she said it was sold but could make another that looked similar to the one she advertised for sale. The artist sent pictures of the doll after completion and in the photos she looked beautiful (I now realise retrospectively that the artist had used a lot of artificial lighting and potentially edited the photos colour to achieve the beautiful photos). The doll I received looks very different than the photos I was sent. My daughter Tottie was stunned, she said, ' Mummy that doll looks nothing like her photos, this one is ugly'. The artist who created my doll is well respected in our doll community, so I feel powerless to confront them about it. I think I will cut my losses and sell this doll.
Hello lovely, awww she is very pretty. I love her outfit it's adorable. Maybe give it time you may bond with her, she is beautiful. I hope you are having a lovely weekend and staying safe xxx
She's a cute baby sis but I would say if you're not bonding, don't feel badly about selling her to get a dolly you really love! Your headband collection is beautiful!! 🥰💜🥰💜 hugs and love to y'all!
Yes I've had that happen to me with one of my reborn dolls. I ended up selling her a week later. I would just try to sell her if u can't bond with her! Pretty headbands ! I love to buy tons of vintage baby blankets!
Aww, i think your baby is a cutie. i actually prefer the lesser detailed dolls as i think some are way overdone. Then again, i could change my mind if seeing one that 'speaks' to me. i would be very interested in purchasing this little sweetie. And as for your headbands, wow! They are gorgeous so thank you for the link! i so love anything vintage looking!
Hi Darla 😀 We now have this reborn doll up for sale and you mentioned in your previous comment that you might be interested in purchasing her. I have advertised her for sale on our Instagram page and have included more photos. Our Instagram page is @littlewattlenursery Please feel free to contact us on Instagram if you would like more info about this reborn doll 😀
Hello! I actually haven't experienced this yet. I think shes beautiful! I feel like if you tried different things to try to bond with her and you're still not feeling it I'd just sell her and find something else that you really love. Great haul! All the headbands are beautiful 😍 TFS! Best wishes ❤ Have a wonderful weekend! 🥰😊⚘
I had that issue w my 3 mo Joseph. I thought about selling him...I loved him when I bought him. His hair was too light and he just didn’t look cute to me. I restuffed him to my liking and darkened his drawn on hair w prismacolor pencil. Also gave him much needed eyebrows. That made a huge difference and I’m now buying him clothes bc he’s a keeper. I also prefer the textured varnish, they don’t all have it though. It seems like there’s not much you can do to change your doll. I’m sorry you’re disappointed, I know how that feels. Lovely headbands btw 🥰 I hope you can sell her without too much of a loss and get a new baby who you will bond with.
Hi love , I have the exact same kit .. I have bonded with my girl but I don't usually cuddle with her or use her much in Role play on my channel like my other babies . . She's a beautiful girl though . . If you find yourself not bonding with her or using her much I would say put her up for sale 💜💙❤. I love the headbands you purchased. You can never go wrong with lots of headbands 😂😂💞. I think I might be a bad influence lol ... I recently discovered blythe dolls and I can't stop buying clothes etc for them . Take care . Thankyou for sharing. 💞❤💙💜 hugs . From Sammy .
Hi, I kept her. I know I will not get what I paid for Her. I have a silicon that I wish I never bid on & wish I could sell for the price I bought Her for. Which I know isn't happening. I have babies that are not that pores. My Joseph is like that. It's okay to have that as Your addiction..I think as long as Yiu use them. My addiction or problem is I keep buying more clothes & certain sizes have so much that I haven't even had them wear, tags still on. Lol😷🤗🐽❤, Sheryl
I agree, sadly I will not get what I paid for this doll, if I sell her. She has basically been unpacked and then immediately sat back in her box for months and I will lose a lot of money. Unfortunately Reborn dolls are not turning out to be a good investment like my other vintage dolls which have gone up in price considerably. However I don't just buy dolls for their investment purposes. Thank you for letting me know what your shopping addiction is for your reborn babies. It's a relief to know I'm not on my own 🤣
@@LittleWattleNursery I tried to sell my old dolls & No one was buying. I did sell for hundreds less then I paid. I bought them late 80's early 90's. I am not trusting to sell on ebay. 🤗❤
She doesn’t look very comfortable on the body she’s on. Is it the jointed type, we’re the arms and legs swing around. I don’t cope with that. She has a beautiful face tho. Headbands are lovely.💗
She has a very cute face so you could probably find another buyer quite easily. And then get yourself another doll you can bond with. 🌸💕
Thank you, really good advice 😀

Wow! You are one talented lady 😍 I have zero crafting skills, so this little dolly will be put up for sale 😀 Take care Dolly Friend xxx

This is strange I had a custom Raine made, and could never bond with her either.
Thank you for stopping by Dolly Friend, have a wonderful week xxx

I agree, there is something not quite right with her body 😀
