Dolls have come a long way throughout history. At first, they could hardly be considered human-like, but nowadays we can find lifelike dolls on the market. These dolls, which are not customizable, are manufactured to look like real babies and are called "Reborn dolls."
Initially, Reborn dolls were created for therapeutic purposes. The artists who made them painstakingly copied the features of newborn babies, often using real babies as models. These dolls were then weighted to feel like real babies when held. Nowadays, these dolls are highly sought after and can be quite expensive due to the hours of work that go into making them.
As Reborn dolls became more popular, they also made their way into the toy market. While the therapeutic dolls were not suitable for children to play with, the dolls manufactured by toy companies were. These dolls were also much more affordable, allowing children to enjoy the lifelike appearance of the dolls.
Although the interest in Reborn dolls is relatively new among toy manufacturers, more and more are seeing the potential in this market. As a result, people who previously purchased Reborn dolls for therapeutic purposes can now find them more affordably priced. While these dolls may not have the same lifelike weight as therapeutic dolls, they still look and feel like real babies.
Overall, the popularity of Reborn dolls has grown significantly, and with more and more manufacturers entering the market, we can expect to see more lifelike dolls in the future. While they may not be everyone's cup of tea, these dolls provide a unique and enjoyable experience for those who appreciate the artistry that goes into making them.
