I just learned they're called "reborns" and there's apparently a growing subculture who collect them. Some owners even treat them as real babies (take them to restaurants with them, etc.) They're all hand-made by individual artists and cost anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars! I won't get into what I've read about who the majority of collectors are. Let's just say, they're not our types of people, although I'm sure some are very nice.<br />Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-40862184766955756452013-07-09T11:49:03.491+02:002013-07-09T11:49:03.491+02:00Bina would love these dolls!Bina would love these dolls!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-60090284531926432222013-07-09T11:04:23.978+02:002013-07-09T11:04:23.978+02:00That's creepy.
