I bought one of her babies off eBay about a year ago. He too was chalky and didn’t have much paint or detail in my opinion either. His hair was painted with a small amount of rooted hair over the very middle top. His nails weren’t painted and I believe the chalkiness to be the varnish too. I was very disappointed, but had read her profile to read she began painting dolls because her daughters wanted one and she saw how expensive they were, so she painted them one herself and then started painting them to sell to people at affordable prices. This was a year or more ago and I still paid over $300 for the doll. It sucks when you see photos and are so excited for the baby only to be disappointed. I’m sorry this happened to you too.
Wow she told me she's been artist over 10 years in reply message. And wanted me send to her " to fix it" nooo . she doesn't have skill do it first time then not going send back . 😆 I'm sorry she ripped you off as well. She has babies listed now over 300. I feel bad for those may buy one.
Thank you for sharing the box opening and honest review. I have not had this kind of experience myself and consider myself lucky so far. Reborns has been the most fun doll I have ever collected. I can't speak for others but if I was the artist, would be grateful that someone took the time to review my work. It is a lovely doll and would make an adorable cuddle baby. :)
So sorry you experienced this. It's ridiculous when people scam collectors on purpose. I hope you receive a full refund for your great sacrifice. Money doesn't grow on trees just to be given away.
I’m sorry this experience was a bad one, but thanks for sharing it as it is very helpful for those of us who are hoping to buy our first reborn doll. The creator is still active. On one popular sales site, someone else stated that the hands and feet on the doll that she ordered could have been done better, and that some glossing could be seen to have dripped on the head. The creator responded that no-one had experienced a problem with her painting style before. Her dolls do look beautiful on the website but for the amount of money she charges, one would expect more attention to detail.
Updating to see that she's been painting 10yrs wow she def should have those Creases in check She may be a newer artist . Seems like she's just starting out . She prob didn't know how to set the varnish properly and need to work on creasing etc a bit more. Is what I'm thinking. Those are the more "tedious " areas to do but worth it if you take your time for it. Air dry dries quick so it's important to hit those Creases quick before they dry .
Maybe she was blindfolded when she painted him. I’ve had similar experiences and it can be disappointing for sure. But he has an adorable little face, even though the rest of him can use some tlc.
Oh no honey. I would def open a case or try to contact the artist. This should have been disclosed. Always ask for detailed pictures of all limbs. Its a must these days. She looks to be like a new artist that didn’t take much care. He’s more of a boo boo baby. I would not accept that kind of work for the money these dolls are worth. You tried to be positive so bless you.
eBay is the last place to get a reborn… judging on the looks of it, you got scammed. That’s not what a reborn is supposed to look like. Or it’s a used doll that was potentially repurposed. Try Marry Shortle. They have excellent products.
@@sassyvtmom2009 , I’m glad to hear that. I was just concerned and wanted you to have a good product. Everyone deserves that… I promise I wasn’t trying to be rude. It’s just, in my experience, I’ve been scammed by eBay and so have other people. I was just trying to look out for you.
Oh wow horrible I'm just starting I did my first paint job and it wasn't perfect but you can See the creasing and nail tips.i might do a giveaway .I'm thinking about it. Have a blessed day ❤
I paid £150 (less then 200 dollars) for my reborn knowing he wouldn't be as realistic as some higher price dolls, yet he still painted 100% better then this one. I'm so sorry this happened to you x
So sad, they let the paint pool and didn't blot it out before it dried and or baked it. It looks like flesh 08 paint that pooled. Flesh tones will leave chalky residue if not blotted out and is allowed to pool. She should see the video, this way she can learn from the mistake. I would want to see it and learn where I was going wrong. When reborning you can't just focus on the face, the limbs matter a lot too. We need to strive for complete realism, not partial.
Hopefully the seller will receive the message well and will learn from her excess amount of painting flaws in this baby. Like you said artists aren’t perfect but they do need to be able to accept criticism to learn how to develop their skills. On the bright side his head doesn’t seem too bad. If all else fails a cuddle body could make him useable.
I’m sorry for your baby. I just have to say that you have to do a better job with your camera. It where hard to see what you wanted to show about the painting, foto and so on. Have a nice day and i hope your baby is like you wanted him now🙏♥️. Hi from Sweden 🇸🇪.
Looks like she is a beginner and charging more for dolls then there worth. His head should be that heavy alot of people don't tip nails if preemie or small hes cute but I would buy off that artist ever
I don’t know about these dolls , I’ve heard of them but not sure how they should be I thought kids play with them to be honest. But I can hear you’re frustration and I can see what you’re talking about she should have posted full pictures of the entire body . When I sell online I make sure to post every angle of an item with a full description of every detail. Because I don’t want no surprises with the buyer gets the item. I’m so sorry you’re not happy with you’re purchase he is beautiful though. ♥️
She did my reborn Jenny for me She did good on mine Don't no what happened on yours Wish you could see my girl So sad yours didn't turn out well My Jennie is 2 year's now
I would say she is a newer artist. I know I did some of that at the beginning. I’m not sure about air dry paints but the white chalk is usually from the varnish being to thick and pooled in the creases and she didn’t get it all out. I have done babies without nail tipping if the baby was tiny. With the eyelashes you can just wet them and put them were you want them and let them air dry. I can say still being a newer artist, creases are hard for me still. It’s definitely the more you paint the better you get. I think he is cute and you could ask someone who does air dry painting with the chalking could be fixed. But he is cute and I think he looks like a Steven.
My oldest son is named Steven .i have a. Custum saskia that looks just like him as a baby. She used heat set paints. The video doesn't show how bad truly is. Bold maroon and blue lines looks like drawn with gel pen inside hands etc .
Eye lashes on a reborn also if u are ok with u know most babies aren't born with them well are but u don't see .I know as I reborn now 8 years a few master artist if baby is 19 inches and smaller unless asked won't do eyelashes. Due to new real babies u can't see and it makes look real unlike a full set on new baby looks bad if people do that
Wow you're good at picking out stuff I don't have a clue about these babies and they are cute though I will say that! I know people are like really into the details and stuff so I'm learning a little bit by watching you! He is cute though I love when you put the pacifier on his mouth I think it looks so cute. Sorry it wasn't what you expected Heather. Kind of crappy that she didn't do a full job. 🥺
Oh no I think she could have done better but he is cute.💙🎉🎊🎈 And yes he does look chalky. He would be a gorgeous baby if he was painted correctly.🤔😲😏😳 Exactly you shouldn't have to pay to have someone else paint him.
Yikes. I was going to say brand new artist that isn't ready to be selling yet, until I saw the comment that someone else bought a baby from her a year before. I hope that you at least paid a boo boo baby price for this one :(
The person that sold it to you is not the artist. She probably bought it and then wanted to get rid of it. It sounds you have been scammed. Original artists take their time on their art. They spend lots of money on the kits to make them.
I use air dry once varnish dries it's hard to get off baby is cute but like u said limbs need more attention . U can put him in sleepers and he or she will be so cute
It’s very sad that you received a reborn that has been painted like this. Is h/she a beginner at reborning? It’s so disheartening when you receive a baby that isn’t what was described etc. hugs xo
I am so sorry that you’ve had this problem. What a way to ruin such a handsome little boy he’s got such a pretty handsome face. I’ve noticed that too reborn dolls on eBay at one price and it’s easy for another.
Actually I don’t agree with that. It takes a special skill & talent to be a reborn artist. Not EVERYONE can be a reborn artist. And if you can’t afford a reborn, you can’t. Reborns shouldn’t be crapply made just so someone can afford one. Idk just my opinion. Btw…if this artist can paint hair & the head, she could have easily painted the limbs.
@@lynettelaroche8868 I disagree. Maybe not everyone is an excellent painter, but doesn’t mean they can’t paint if it brings them joy and sell them to the public who can’t afford a luxury baby. So, I think that’s a bit of a closed minded statement. Some people would have adored this baby despite the flaws. If a person wants to paint, who are you to say they can’t? It’s up to the buyer to ask specific questions and do research. You pay for what you get.
@@puppybreath6790- for sure ! Every artist has a style and many grow to learn better skills… but for $300? That’s not fair to the person purchasing something totally different than the photos. I think that’s what the issue for this baby was. 😢 Older video, so she maybe doing better now❤❤❤
Wow this baby thing is a thing huh? I mean I'm not really seen too much of it other than maybe on your channel & one other video on a different channel I accidentally clicked on. But then I continue to watch the whole video. It's definitely a thing like people are seriously into this I get like a collector type atmosphere you know? Pretty cool actually. again sorry that it wasn't up to par. 🙏
TY I've been collecting for over 9 years now. It's alot momento invest . they are also used for therapy for Alzheimer and dementia patients. Anxiety. Depression. Infant loss. Infertility. So many reasons
Awww he is cute, the artist just hasn't paid attention to detail or blended the painting, I'm sorry this has happened to you, I'm sure you were so excited to open your baby and then to see this, I can't imagine how you must feel. But you know he is still really adorable, he is very cute. Thank you for sharing 🌸🌸🌸🌸
I’m sorry but Not EVERYONE can be a reborn artist…it takes a special kind of skill & talent to be one. People shouldn’t make crappy dolls just to sell them cheap. Realistically a beautiful reborn will cost anywhere from $500-$1,000 & over. Once in awhile, on rare occasions a beautiful reborn may sell cheaper due to the artist needing funds quickly or a gently used reborn from a collector is selling a baby. But if this “artist “ took the time to paint hair & the head, she could have painted the limbs, no excuse.
I also agree, however newer artists have a right to sell a “boo boo” baby based on skill for a price that’s more affordable for people who can’t afford a 500-1000 baby. These babies ARE a luxury to an extent but doesn’t mean that not everyone can enjoy them and not everyone has $500+ to spend. Personally, I only buy high quality dolls but I save and save for them. Some people can’t.
It’s not a scammer tho, just not a very good painter. She didn’t scam her, she gave her paperwork, gave her the reborn she paid for, the buyer didn’t ask for detailed pictures and shame on the artist for hiding that but she’s def not a scammer.
@@sassyvtmom2009 do you want me to try and fix him for you? No charge. You'd just have to pay for the shipping here and back. Have the seller refund you the shipping to get him here and back. I'll see what I can do.

I'm so sorry this happened. Blending those creases, and paying attention to detail is so important. He is cute though.
Awe so sorry for you're expirience i hope you got youre reborn fixed. Hes a cutie though.
A bought a reborn from her and my doll is STUNNING. Thinking about how bad mine could have been is scary
