The knock-off actually looks quite nice. I can see why it would appeal to consumers, who are not interested in the art of reborn dolls. Great details video, thank you for sharing 😀
I’m so glad you posted this! I’ve started to this copycat for sale on eBay and Mercari. You will surely spare many shoppers the disappointment of getting this fake baby. Your comparison really showed the difference … thanks!
I have a large family of “knock off” Maggis AND Suesues and they are gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. They all looked like their pictures. Your snobbery is laughable.
Please Don’t get on the current high horse like All the other people around fighting over this topic with a chip on their shoulder. I only stated my personal opinion and clearly I wanted to see for myself. it is not the same quality no matter how you slice it. If your happy with it great. No judgement on my end. When you have the original quality vs what I opened it’s not the same. For me to lie and say so would not be honest. I never came for anyone with my video I am respectful and would never attack someone for a doll they have and love. you can be offended by my review if you want but seriously let’s not be over dramatic.
It's kind of hard to watch videos like these because not everyone can afford expensive reborns. I have a knockoff but love her more than anything, please just be kind and don't say things like "dissapointment" because for some people it's the best they can get.
I’m sorry these are your circumstances but being broke or low income does not make it ok to purchase something you know is counterfeit. You could purchase a doll from a company whom has rights to the artwork they are selling
Right people really act like saving money isn’t a thing. I don’t have all the money in the world, but I save my money so I can buy a genuine reborn. It isn’t okay to steal business from the artists trying to make ends meet just like you.
@@EricaJ683 Everyone deserves something that gives them comfort and I couldn't judge anyone who doesn't have a whole lot of money and for them, this is their only option. You don't know a person's situation and it's not good that companies are stealing sculpts, but its not the buyer's fault who just wants an affordable doll.
I’m not shaming the people who aren’t aware the doll is counterfeit , i am talking against the people who do and knowingly purchase it. You can’t make that right…a doll isn’t a necessity to live like food or toiletries. Especially for an adult person
@@ElisaMay321 People who buy these dolls, all have a reason. A lot of them can't have children or don't have any family and I would never blame them for getting a cheaper version of a doll they want. I think the people who buy these dolls are more important than where the doll comes from. It's also a cheaper version, which is why it's sold for less. It's not the exact copy, I just can't imagine going to a person with a disability and telling them their doll is fake and they shouldn't be able to get it. That's just really mean.
Well that was a fun review 😊 She looks pretty good for being a knock off doll though. I totally get why people would buy them. Reborns are being popularized by our videos on UA-cam but a lot of people can’t afford a real reborn. It is an expensive hobby. Many people are also not aware that these dolls are knock offs. As far as stealing someone’s art, it is really sad. I wish that wouldn’t happen to the artist who work so hard on making these beautiful sculpts. But I also heard that it is supposedly totally legal because these artists send their work to be reproduced in China (and other countries) and agree to certain terms, where probably in fine print it stated that these factories can use their work, or parts of their kits for their own benefit. Maybe that’s why we see so many variations and amalgamations of these kits on Amazon and eBay. I don’t know if any of it is true, but sounds pretty sneaky ether way. 😕 I personally prefer real reborns, but I do understand why people get the knock offs too 🤷🏻♀️ Now when it’s advertised a certain way with fake pictures and description and then you get something totally different and it’s a knock off too...now that’s a scam on another level 🙄
I did see this doll on Amazon. I believe it said 3 yrs and up, so clearly made for children to play with. I would not want to see small children play with a real, genuine reborn at those thousand or more dollars. The adult collector would be more choosy. I bought gifts, and the only two I would buy from on Amazon is Aori and NPK brands. Those seem to be highly rated and better made than most. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Oddly enough my doll collection is mostly pre-loved children's dolls, which I restored myself to look like new. When and if I decide to buy a real artist made reborn, there will be much research done to find the real artist, and no rip offs that cost a lot. Thank you for your comparison here and it does help others to learn about the scams from China.
sculptors actually use the same limbs for kits. The little one is a knockoff, but that is a Maggi kit, the big one you have is a suesue kit. Even if you buy an authentic Maggie kit which should be 22 inches, the limbs will be the same as suesue.
My first doll was actually a knockoff. At first I somehow didn’t realize she was a fake but after a couple months of owning her I realized it and became really annoyed at myself for falling for something like that. Plus, as an artist myself (not a reborn artist just like painting, drawing, etc) I hate to see art get stolen because art takes so much time and if you spent all this time on a beautiful doll then to have it be ripped off, it most likely would make you feel horrible. I have now decided to repaint my fake doll myself and try to make her into a decent doll but there is no way I would ever say she was the real kit cause she ain’t. Anyway, I now have a paradise galleries doll that I named Luna and I’m looking forward to finally be able to save up enough money for an actual reborn doll.
Thank you so much for doing this comparison.. Bonnie Brown is being ripped off to the point that they copy her work just weeks after she releases the kit These maggots are destroying the reborn community and the morally bankrupt collectors promoting these are driving the nail in the coffin of our beloved art form
I've often thought that some reborn infants have way too much hair for a baby so new. She is cute ,though. It's baby with a Maggie Head (Toddler Doll) to me.
The first doll I bought was a knockoff, because I didn’t know better (full body silicone for $40 sounded reasonable at the time!). It was a somewhat plastic feeling doll that smelled strongly, and after I saved up and bought a real reborn, the smell difference was very noticeable. I ended up throwing her away because I’m very sensitive to chemicals and there are no assurances that the knockoffs aren’t using toxic materials.
If you want assurances look for a CE mark. However Reborns are a mix-media, so there are absolutely no assurances that a Reborn doll is made of all non-toxic materials. There is no board that governs nor certifies Reborn artist nor limits them to mediums. Such a board would be an infringement on artistic expression. If you want assurances a mass produced product manufactured toy for children like Berenguer (just as an example made in Spain) would come with the most stringent assurances of safety for both materials and construction. They are governed both by the U.S.A Consumer Product Safety Commission mandatory safety rules and regulations under ASTM F963, as well as Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety under ASTM International (as in import), AND from European regulations i.e Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC. And as I stated before look for the CE mark on a NEW product. Anything on the secondary market could have been adulterated by an artist. That CE make on a NEW product is the best assurance you can get. That said, silicone is safe, nontoxic inert and if you try to adulterate it, the stuff disintegrates into an oily goo, and that is the best assurances you get that any solid full body silicone doll is nontoxic. It might not be the softest squishiest, most wonderful silicone you ever beheld but it won't harm you either. After that, it is worth noting that all the bells and whistles (usually not found in a $40 product) like hair dyes, eyes, backbones, tummy inserts could possibly be made of toxic materials. If you are very sensitive, and need assurances look for the CE mark. :))
A lot of my reborn dolls are knock-offs, but they look pretty good for the price. I am aware that they are not custom made and not the true thing. I recently just bought a reborn blank kit from Bountiful Baby which has a COA sticker on the certificate. I have the Johanna Awake kit. Unpainted.
They don't look the same simply because they are two different reborn kits but both by the same artist Natali Blick. The real reborn is "Sue-Sue", the fake one is "Maggie."
While this is true, the sue sue and Maggie kits both have the exact same body and limbs, just different heads. Obviously these bodies are also nothing like the original.
To start with they are TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SCULPTS ... So to have a FAIR review they need to be the EXACT SAME SCULPTS ... Just kinda saying what nobody else will
I understand what I am trying to show is the Maggi and sue sue bodies are the exact same on both kits the only differences is the head she uses the same body on both of those original kits. This one is half the size
@@bellaboorebornnursery there are knock off suesue dolls as well and Maggie knock offs come in 18, 20, 22, 24 inch sizes. AND on the video you compared FACES and expression that can not be fairly compared without the exact same knock off sculpt. I think people are just scared to admit knock offs can be just as beautiful and budget friendly for people on tighter budgets.
There are knock off that are actually the exact same sculpt as original, in size, proportion and detail…this one just happened to be a remake in a smaller size…
This is a really helpful video. I was looking at these dolls on Amazon. I'm thinking twice about ordering one now. They are cute but not as nice as a real reborn doll.
I’m glad you ordered this doll on purpose and didn’t expect a real reborn doll. Anyone expecting a reborn world be very disappointed. She looks like a baby doll. She is nothing compared to your reborn babies.
This was really interesting! I hadn't seen a side by side comparison like that. Thanks for sharing!! It definitely looks like the real reborn are much better quality. 😃
I understand what people are saying that the knockoff is still cute and she is. And I can’t afford to spend hundreds or thousands or dollars on a doll either. But in addition to hurting artists, knockoffs use toxic materials that can make you sick, especially if you handle them a lot or give them to children. Legit artists and collectors attest that Paradise Galleries and Ashton Drake don’t do this. Their dolls are cheap because they are mass-produced, not hand-painted, so you won’t be getting the same quality. However, they don’t steal sculpts or use dangerous materials. So if you’re on a budget that’s what I recommend. I love my Paradise Galleries doll
Awww wow how interesting, I've always wanted to see a side by side comparison, there are big differences when they are side by side. Thank you for sharing 🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵🏵
When you shop on Amazon for newborn newborn toddler dolls you just got to be very careful and you know what to look for and just look at the views but she is cute I think you should keep her
I would never buy a knock-off reborn, i think it's terrible that the artists sculpts have been stolen. I also understand that people want reborns and don't have the money for an original but to me that is wrong. I had to do my own research and look for what i wanted. i think people don't realize the dolls are individual works of art that won't be found on amazon or other places that sell fake dolls.
@@natalikrissbebi9947 i understand not everyone can afford one. I work and save money for the dolls i have. But stealing sculpts is wrong and the original artist does not get paid for their work. If people want a more affordable doll they can get an Ashton Drake or Berenger doll.
I think this knock off is really cute. You have to remember these are a lot lesser quality then the original and you are paying much less. Many people want a reborn but cannot afford the original so these dolls are a good choice. If I bought a original and paid a lot of money and it was the knock off quality I would be very upset but for the price of the knock off dolls I think they are a good deal if this is what one wants until maybe they can afford a original.
Thanks for doing a review on a fake. She is a cute doll for a child's play doll. My first doll was a rip off doll and has set in the box. I should have done more research before buying
At least the way prices have been going lately you mind as well get the real reborn. I don't know were every one be looking but I have seen some reborns and knock offs at the same price. But you really have to do your do diligence in looking. I will be sure to✍ it down for others to see next time doing my research for the fu
I understand the disappointment. I can’t afford those 3K dolls but you kniw what if they’re going to sell a low grade version of something some people who want a baby or miss having one to snuggle then at least have the decency to show what they’re really selling. I have infertility and I adopted my child who was almost 2 and missed the newborn phase. I’m looking for a look alike but I don’t want to pay $200 for something that I can get for 1.25 at the dollar tree or Walmart js silicone vs vinyl vs fake vinyl are are all different. So thank you for your honesty bc I’d be sad and kinda hurt too. That doll is “aight” but I’d be pretty disappointed too. And people selling true silicone babies that are incredibly realistic need to realize we are all not billionaires
I think she is a cute baby doll. Definitely, not a toddler! I don't like that the Sue Sue limbs were stolen and made much smaller. The face reminds me of the Maggi kit. I don't like that the Maggi head was stolen and made smaller. There is way too much hair for a newborn and the doll is not of good quality. I kept waiting for her head to fall off. Obviously, this is a fake. It's sad that artist have had their work stolen. ☹
I make reborn babies myself and weight them using Silicone Pads, Premium soft polyfil, the cheaper common one as well. with the glass beads in each limb.
@@bellaboorebornnursery I’m like that too, I’m tempted to see a replica Joseph awake doll. I do have a replica Maddie doll that I really love, great video
Yes, I have I paid close to $150 maybe 160 $$170 for two but I didn’t see it in time what the doll was gonna look like and I got the second doll and it’s what’s funny as they look exactly alike but nothing like what’s what they look what they were supposed to look like that was really, really frustrating
Hey, What is icradle, is it a scam, and is pinky baby reborn a scam? They have the same doll on the same website, and I was wondering if it was a scam, I recently ordered a doll from pinky baby, and they have the same doll on the same website.
i have a knock off reborn that i got for 92 Dollars on Amazon and i still treat her like a real reborn and the only reason i got it was because i could never get enough for a real reborn
I ordered a 18inch reborn doll what I received was a 10inch plastic doll from Play pal. She not vinal at all. The picture of they advertised was a very pretty realistic reborn doll 18inces it's not what you get in the picture. There was a news segment about this doll. I saw the doll I bought in the news segment a grandmother had purchased this doll for her granddaughter. She thought it was going to be a cuddle vinal doll. She tried returning this doll and they sent the doll back to her. You have to be real careful of the fake nock offs.
She is a,doll I like her. You get what you pay for She is also is second hand Im sure,a little girl would like this doll Didnt they put the measurement on the sale orice?
Enjoy what God provides, and if you really want a reborn or silicone baby, their are those who will make payment arrangements with you and work with you, that's what I did and how I got started, it just takes longer to accomplish goal, but when you get your baby 👶 you will be over the moon, and it also give you time to buy some items for your baby, like diapers bags 🎒, blankets, and time to have a theme. So enjoy your baby you have.
The one thing everyone watching wanted to know was the actual price difference. If the knockoff was “over $100” so let say $150 and the actual was let’s say $600+ then obviously they are going to be of different quality…. So how much was the actual???
I have quite a few knock off dolls. Actually I only have two real real reborn dolls. Which I painted myself because I can not afford a real one painted by a good painter. I’m just saying some people can’t afford real dolls. I know they are not as good but that one actually looked ok.
I’m sorry..I look it like name brand vs great value Designer bag or look a like Everyone makes a knock off. It is what it is. I buy mine from an artist because I can afford to and I want the realism. I want to bug my niece an Amazon doll to see how she feels about this. If she likes dolls that are more life like (I’m going to adjust the body for a more life like feelings for her first) I’ll buy her a true reborn
Hi I was really glad when I came across your channel. I had to speak with someone else about the reborn babies but l never got a response back so it was wonderful seeing you showing how easy to be scammed. Be l was wanting to purchase a male and female dolly myself, And I have no idea of how all of this works. If you have any time available could you please contact me l would deeply appreciate it. May God continue to bless you and your family.
It's good to see, and you did buy it second hand just to see the difference. So, that's a good thing, because now everybody can see the difference. Thank you. Have a good day❗💗 Greetings, Annette
Hi 👋 awww shes soo cute we have "knockoff" version of little peanut tasha doll by Ashton Drake Galleries & "Maddie" kit Bonnie Brown but they're still very beautiful any of the day we're on Disability Benefits so we cant afford expensive reborns but still looks good & my wife loves your videos they so educational so thanks again lol 😆 😘 😊
This is clearly not a reborn doll I literally don't like it when china just copy's off other countries art and making it out to be the actual thing I don't buy stuff from them anymore it's always a knock off of the real item
Same! I bought a bunch of cute ones from amazon! I look at reviews first from actual people. The Adolly reborns are a great brand! I had a real born skya. Wasn't much different & actually like these better. If you like more weight its easy to add weight yourself also! I watched a lot of unboxing videos of adolly and amazon reborns before hand too.
As a gift for a two, three, five or seven year old I don't care if it's a knock off unless the child is extra responsible because that baby will get colored on, experimented on, painted on and taken to the doll salon courtesy of crayola markers and crayons and scissors ✂️ 🎨🖌️. 😆 Nadia is super gorgeous and the knocked is good enough. The fake baby is cute enough for a kid. I appreciate the smaller size for little kids. Adults might also want the knock off because gas prices high, food prices high, everything in this pandemic is high might as well buy what you can afford to have.
I have 3 knockoffs and l love them! One actually has the name of the sculpt and the artist on the back of her neck! The other 2 do not - l have a Maddie and she is 24 inches and a chunky monkey she's my favorite - it is what it is
The Fake one the only it's a good rooted hair and the eyes so bright. I got one fake Rosalie and its very small too. I have 2 originals I paint they are big
Did just as You🥴.. but it was the Levi kit..🙄.. ok, he wasnt awful.. the painting and rooting was.. ok.. but ooh myyy… was he small.. tinywiny… so teenietiny… 🥺.. And I think the original its a pretty big kit…?!…
On Adolly! She is about 90-150$ so pretty reasonable! I have an adolly reborn and he’s gorgeous! Just because he’s a knock off doesn’t mean that he works any different! :)
this seems like a possible good option for younger kids who are interested in reborns. although I don't support stolen work but the price is kinda ridiculous
The knock-off actually looks quite nice. I can see why it would appeal to consumers, who are not interested in the art of reborn dolls. Great details video, thank you for sharing 😀

Не у всех есть деньги на оригинал куклы, у нас в россии очень дорого покупоть куклу с штатов, у вас курс большой, а зарплата в россии очень маленькая
@@natalikrissbebi9947 i understand not everyone can afford one. I work and save money for the dolls i have. But stealing sculpts is wrong and the original artist does not get paid for their work. If people want a more affordable doll they can get an Ashton Drake or Berenger doll.

@@natalikrissbebi9947 thanks for your comments 💜💜 💜💜
@@faeriegraves adora dolls are great for starting off your collection
I think this knock off is really cute. You have to remember these are a lot lesser quality then the original and you are paying much less. Many people want a reborn but cannot afford the original so these dolls are a good choice. If I bought a original and paid a lot of money and it was the knock off quality I would be very upset but for the price of the knock off dolls I think they are a good deal if this is what one wants until maybe they can afford a original.
The knock off doll is super cute 🙂
Thanks for doing a review on a fake. She is a cute doll for a child's play doll. My first doll was a rip off doll and has set in the box. I should have done more research before buying
What do you mean disappointing I love her she’s beautiful
They r both cute still. I have a few knockoffs and now abt to get my second reborn doll made from a sculpt.
And you bought one so don’t complain
At least the way prices have been going lately you mind as well get the real reborn. I don't know were every one be looking but I have seen some reborns and knock offs at the same price. But you really have to do your do diligence in looking. I will be sure to✍ it down for others to see next time doing my research for the fu
I understand the disappointment. I can’t afford those 3K dolls but you kniw what if they’re going to sell a low grade version of something some people who want a baby or miss having one to snuggle then at least have the decency to show what they’re really selling. I have infertility and I adopted my child who was almost 2 and missed the newborn phase. I’m looking for a look alike but I don’t want to pay $200 for something that I can get for 1.25 at the dollar tree or Walmart js silicone vs vinyl vs fake vinyl are are all different. So thank you for your honesty bc I’d be sad and kinda hurt too. That doll is “aight” but I’d be pretty disappointed too. And people selling true silicone babies that are incredibly realistic need to realize we are all not billionaires
Good size doll for a child toy. She is not very realistic, but she is pretty, I love her hair.
I think she is a cute baby doll. Definitely, not a toddler! I don't like that the Sue Sue limbs were stolen and made much smaller. The face reminds me of the Maggi kit. I don't like that the Maggi head was stolen and made smaller. There is way too much hair for a newborn and the doll is not of good quality. I kept waiting for her head to fall off. Obviously, this is a fake. It's sad that artist have had their work stolen. ☹
I was going to buy a fake Maggie but so glad you have oh my goodness the size of her is nothing like mine. Newborn with pigtails Right.
I make reborn babies myself and weight them using Silicone Pads, Premium soft polyfil, the cheaper common one as well. with the glass beads in each limb.
What makes you qualified to do a video like this? You're basing somebody's reputation off of something you took out of your closet?
If I got that, I would personally think that’s the cutest thing in the world
i still think all my reborns i have that are fake are very cute.
She's still a cutie though 🥰
The paint job doesn't seem that different, did you know the size you were getting? and is this not the picture they showed?
No I knew what I was getting. I just wanted to see one in person.
@@bellaboorebornnursery I’m like that too, I’m tempted to see a replica Joseph awake doll. I do have a replica Maddie doll that I really love, great video
Yes, I have I paid close to $150 maybe 160 $$170 for two but I didn’t see it in time what the doll was gonna look like and I got the second doll and it’s what’s funny as they look exactly alike but nothing like what’s what they look what they were supposed to look like that was really, really frustrating
I think it's not okey for the true sculptors to buy fake kit dolls but yes. I think maybe for kids to play the fake dolls maybe okey.
Where did you buy it from? I'm very curious, since the video seems to be warning people against scams.
eBay
Where is the doll from? The one with the yellow clothes the more realistic looking one ☝️
Maggie is available in different sizes so you got the smallest one.
My two first where knocked off I didn’t know they were
Do you know if the "Darren" is marked by the artest,on the back of the neck?
I don’t have her anymore but I think it was all identical to the original
Hey, What is icradle, is it a scam, and is pinky baby reborn a scam? They have the same doll on the same website, and I was wondering if it was a scam, I recently ordered a doll from pinky baby, and they have the same doll on the same website.
i have a knock off reborn that i got for 92 Dollars on Amazon and i still treat her like a real reborn and the only reason i got it was because i could never get enough for a real reborn
Definitely for a child's doll
Thank you so much for this video ❤️❤️
Who did you get you reborn from
I ordered a 18inch reborn doll what I received was a 10inch plastic doll from Play pal. She not vinal at all. The picture of they advertised was a very pretty realistic reborn doll 18inces it's not what you get in the picture. There was a news segment about this doll. I saw the doll I bought in the news segment a grandmother had purchased this doll for her granddaughter. She thought it was going to be a cuddle vinal doll. She tried returning this doll and they sent the doll back to her. You have to be real careful of the fake nock offs.
She reminds me of Tink. She is cute though
First of all you need to compare it to a SueSue kit. That is a knock off MAGGIE.
She is a,doll I like her. You get what you pay for She is also is second hand Im sure,a little girl would like this doll Didnt they put the measurement on the sale orice?
I would buy her. She's really cute. Never bought one, but if you want to sell her I would buy her from you.
Enjoy what God provides, and if you really want a reborn or silicone baby, their are those who will make payment arrangements with you and work with you, that's what I did and how I got started, it just takes longer to accomplish goal, but when you get your baby 👶 you will be over the moon, and it also give you time to buy some items for your baby, like diapers bags 🎒, blankets, and time to have a theme. So enjoy your baby you have.
The one thing everyone watching wanted to know was the actual price difference. If the knockoff was “over $100” so let say $150 and the actual was let’s say $600+ then obviously they are going to be of different quality…. So how much was the actual???
Where do you actually get your reborn dolls?
I have the same doll exactly it was a huge let down
I have quite a few knock off dolls. Actually I only have two real real reborn dolls. Which I painted myself because I can not afford a real one painted by a good painter. I’m just saying some people can’t afford real dolls. I know they are not as good but that one actually looked ok.
I have the SAME doll at my house and I do like her but her head shape is a little weird
I’m sorry..I look it like name brand vs great value
Designer bag or look a like
Everyone makes a knock off. It is what it is. I buy mine from an artist because I can afford to and I want the realism. I want to bug my niece an Amazon doll to see how she feels about this. If she likes dolls that are more life like (I’m going to adjust the body for a more life like feelings for her first) I’ll buy her a true reborn
Unless i know the artist personaly i wouldnt risk high prices At least with a manufacture you can return it for a refund Not so easy with an artist
Good information!
That’s definitely disappointing
She's beautiful tho. Good video
the knock off is cute
Please please add Vinaen dolls they really know how to scam one
Hi I was really glad when I came across your channel. I had to speak with someone else about the reborn babies but l never got a response back so it was wonderful seeing you showing how easy to be scammed. Be l was wanting to purchase a male and female dolly myself, And I have no idea of how all of this works. If you have any time available could you please contact me l would deeply appreciate it. May God continue to bless you and your family.
It's good to see, and you did buy it second hand just to see the difference. So, that's a good thing, because now everybody can see the difference. Thank you. Have a good day❗💗 Greetings, Annette
She's still cute though 🥰
Are you going to keep the doll?
Hi 👋 awww shes soo cute we have "knockoff" version of little peanut tasha doll by Ashton Drake Galleries & "Maddie" kit Bonnie Brown but they're still very beautiful any of the day we're on Disability Benefits so we cant afford expensive reborns but still looks good & my wife loves your videos they so educational so thanks again lol 😆 😘 😊
This is clearly not a reborn doll I literally don't like it when china just copy's off other countries art and making it out to be the actual thing I don't buy stuff from them anymore it's always a knock off of the real item
I think her face is cute but I think the money they spend on knock offs is about the price of a legit reborn.
So where did you buy this? I personally love the rip-off doll.
Same! I bought a bunch of cute ones from amazon! I look at reviews first from actual people. The Adolly reborns are a great brand! I had a real born skya. Wasn't much different & actually like these better. If you like more weight its easy to add weight yourself also! I watched a lot of unboxing videos of adolly and amazon reborns before hand too.
As a gift for a two, three, five or seven year old I don't care if it's a knock off unless the child is extra responsible because that baby will get colored on, experimented on, painted on and taken to the doll salon courtesy of crayola markers and crayons and scissors ✂️ 🎨🖌️. 😆 Nadia is super gorgeous and the knocked is good enough. The fake baby is cute enough for a kid. I appreciate the smaller size for little kids. Adults might also want the knock off because gas prices high, food prices high, everything in this pandemic is high might as well buy what you can afford to have.
sorry thats dissapointing
I have 3 knockoffs and l love them! One actually has the name of the sculpt and the artist on the back of her neck! The other 2 do not - l have a Maddie and she is 24 inches and a chunky monkey she's my favorite - it is what it is
Apesar da loirinha ser FAKE ela é linda
The Fake one the only it's a good rooted hair and the eyes so bright. I got one fake Rosalie and its very small too. I have 2 originals I paint they are big
I think she's cute
I would love to do more vids like this comparison vids are fun.
I want the blonde one
Ciao che bella bambina carina anche se la sua famiglia e bella carina come la bambina ciao tutti
I have a lot of baby
Did just as You🥴.. but it was the Levi kit..🙄.. ok, he wasnt awful.. the painting and rooting was.. ok.. but ooh myyy… was he small.. tinywiny… so teenietiny… 🥺.. And I think the original its a pretty big kit…?!…
where to find the fake one?
On Adolly! She is about 90-150$ so pretty reasonable! I have an adolly reborn and he’s gorgeous! Just because he’s a knock off doesn’t mean that he works any different! :)

Looking for a free reborn boy doll opened eyed
this seems like a possible good option for younger kids who are interested in reborns. although I don't support stolen work
but the price is kinda ridiculous

But she’s still pretttty
She's still really cute
