I want to make my own dolls (small, about Barbie size) so I can design new clothes & see how they would look on my friends (and my friends want to see too). I don’t want Barbie dolls or any other machine doll because they are not what my friends look like, and I want them to look as real as possible. How should I make my dolls?

Reborn baby dolls are fast becoming a collectible item. People, normally women, of all ages and categories, collect such adorable dolls as a hobby. The manufacturers have come up with an interesting idea and started making triplets and twins for those foster mummies of parents who want more than one child in their lives. They want to experience how does it feel to have twins or triplets reborn baby dolls.

I can tell you if you are fond of children go for twins or even triplets reborn baby dolls. They may differ slightly in looks. One may have, for example, blue eyes, while the other green. One twin can have straight, wispy hair and the other soft, curly. For more variation both the twins need not be of the same gender—a boy and a girl would add variety to the foster mummy’s life.

The soft vinyl skin of the reborn baby dolls is a treat to touch. The realistic weight, length and jointed bodies can give mummies an almost life like experience taking care of them. The baby doll’s clothes are beautiful and one can have a number of them. If the twins are of different genders, the foster mummies can show off her reborn baby dolls to her visitors or take them out in a baby basket for a stroll, etc

Whether its twins or triplets or even one reborn baby doll, like everything else, the hair has to be washed, conditioned and combed with a wide toothed comb.

It is well advised to check prices before striking a bargain. Websites like Amazon and eBay can be very helpful in this respect.

People with pacemakers need to make sure that the dolls do not any such material that may harm the pacemakers. Most such dolls are, however, are hypoallergenic.

Looking at the various Christmas gift ideas available in the market or on the Internet, it is really difficult to make up your mind regarding the best gifts to get for your near and dear ones. Another added factor is the economic slowdown. This year is not the same as last few years. So many people have lost jobs and so many others fear the worst. How many of us can afford iPhones or Wii game sets this year? And we can’t compromise on the quality of our gifts. We still want the best for our loved ones.

The answer to your wishes is the customized bobblehead dolls, the latest Christmas gift idea to hit the market this year. Apart from making your gift personal and unique, it doesn’t pinch the pocket too much. Bobblehead dolls have been around for a long time but a simple twist of personalizing these dolls can become your ideal Christmas gift. You can put the images of your choice on these dolls. The image can be a generic one like Santa or Lord Jesus or Mother Mary or it can be a personal one like that of the receiver or an occasion.

I will share a few examples of what I did with my gifts. For my two kids, I ordered Santa bobblehead dolls and I know the kids will simply adore them. For my dad, I ordered an Elvis doll while for my mom, I ordered a Virgin Mary doll. For my husband, I am thinking of a doll with the face of Bruce Willis, whom he adores.

Another thing that one can do with these dolls is add your customized messages on these dolls. This is another way of making your gift personal and unique. This is surely one of the simple, yet latest great Christmas gift ideas this year that will make your gift stand out among others.

My sister has 20 or more of the things and had them all in a duffel bag and now alot of her dolls have black marks, scuffs and smudges on them from rubbing against one another I assume. I’ve tried soap and a few other things but I don’t want to damage them further by usung harsh chemicals. Does anyone know of anything that will clean them up?

Sex doll may have realistic breast, hands and legs. In inflated state sex doll can strike different poses, for example she can stand, sit or have bended legs or hands. It depends on the model. Inflatable sex doll represents the product, made of latex and more or less imitating human body. This sex toy is used as the sex partner. The function of genitals is executed by special inserts made of latex, gel, silicone or cyber silicone. Gaps imitate vagina or/and anal orifice. Also doll has mouth for imitating of oral sex.

Vibro massager can come separately or it can be embedded. It may have various forms from oviform to the form of penis. In case of need vibro massager is set into special gaps and is turned on with the help of embedded or remote-control console. Vibro massager may have different types of vibration and rotation. Before applying one should inflate the doll up to elastic state. Don’t inflate the doll utterly, because during press you can provoke rupture of the material. There is a limit of weight for every doll. In order to avoid damage of doll, it is highly recommended to use it in poses which do not provoke excessive pressure on it.

Before the first use, you should treat the doll with antiseptic or wash with soap. It is more hygienically to use doll with condom. Before use it is necessary to treat actively used parts of the doll with water base lubricant. After use, the doll has to be treated with warm water with soap. Avoid ingress of moisture into the battery jack, if doll is equipped with vibro massager. Don’t use inappropriate agents as a lubricant because it may damage the doll, not to mention health hazard.

Barbie is a best-selling fashion doll launched in 1959. The doll is produced by Mattel, Inc., and is a major source of revenue for the company. The American businesswoman Ruth Handler (1916-2002) is regarded as the creator of Barbie, and the doll’s design was inspired by a German doll called Bild Lilli.

Barbie has been an important part of the toy fashion doll market for nearly fifty years, and has been the subject of numerous controversies and lawsuits, often involving parody of the doll and her lifestyle.

Collecting:

Mattel estimates that there are well over 100,000 avid Barbie collectors. Ninety percent are women, at an average age of 40, purchasing more than twenty Barbie dolls each year. Forty-five percent of them spend upwards of $1000 a year.

Vintage Barbie dolls from the early years are the most valuable at auction, and while the original Barbie was sold for $3.00 in 1959, a mint boxed Barbie from 1959 sold for $3552.50 on eBay in October 2004. On September 26, 2006, a Barbie doll set a world record at auction of £9,000 sterling (US $17,000) at Christie’s in London. The doll was a Barbie in Midnight Red from 1965 and was part of a private collection of 4,000 Barbie dolls being sold by two Dutch women, Ietje Raebel and her daughter Marina

In recent years Mattel has sold a wide range of Barbie dolls aimed specifically at collectors, including porcelain versions and depictions of Barbie as a range of characters from television series such as The Munsters and Star Trek There are also collector’s edition dolls depicting Barbie dolls with a range of different ethnic identities. In 2004 Mattel introduced the Color Tier system for its collector’s edition Barbie dolls, ranging through pink, silver, gold and platinum depending on how many of the dolls are produced.
