Reborn Baby Dolls
The technique of creating a reborn doll typically involves the following:
- The doll is taken apart and factory paint is removed. Recently, artisans have begun sculpting model babydolls and making vinyl kits that are made specifically for reborning. The kits do not have factory paint, and the doll comes unassembled.
- The exterior is painted using techniques to add to the appearance of translucent skin, with effects such as veins, blotching, and milk-spots to resemble a newborn baby.
- Hair and eyelashes, usually mohair or human hair, are applied using special tools and needles strand by strand, which can take as long as 30 hours per doll
- The original vinyl body is replaced with a soft stuffed and weighted body. The vinyl body can also be cut in half to create front and back ‘plates’ to allow mounting of the doll to a photograph or to display the doll.
- A magnet may be attached inside the mouth/head for attaching a dummy/pacifier or hair bows.

American Girl Doll
My daughter, on her 5th birthday, wanted an American Girl Doll. At the time I was a doll neophyte, little did I realize what was to come. Today – she is well on her way to being 7, and we have a house full of American Girl “stuff”. You probably know this already – but American Girl isn’t just a doll, it is a lifestyle for little girls.
It began with a trip to the American Girl Store in Chicago. She and Mom had lunch in the cafe, with her new American Girl in a seat attached to the table of course, and proceeded to shop me into the poorhouse, albeit she looks good in our poorhouse. She and her doll are never very far apart. Her doll even traveled with us to Disney this year (she had a wonderful time according to my daughter).
So save yourself some money and get the American Girl basics from eBay sellers, but, if possible, make sure your little girl gets to experience an American Girl Store and Cafe – the delight in her eyes will make it worth every penny.

Shirley Temple Dolls by Ideal
Shirley Temple Dolls from Ideal came in 9 sizes 11″, 13″, 16″, 17″, 18″, 20″, 22″, 25″, and 27″. They are composition dolls.
Composition dolls are made of a 6 piece sawdust-based, wood-pulp material strung together with elastic, that was then painted flesh toned. Shirley Temple Dolls by Ideal have hazel eyes with hair upper lashes, and painted eyebrows, lower lashes, lip paint, and nostrils. The wigs were made of mohair and styled in golden curls similar to Shirleys’. The clothes were made to resemble Shirley’s own clothes and the outfits of her movies. They were produced from 1934 to 1939. Except for the earliest dolls, most were marked SHIRLEY TEMPLE on the back of the head and/or the back of the neck. The resemblance to the real Shirley was uncanny in these dolls, and they are a collectors favorite. Finding a doll in excellent condition is difficult and expensive, because composition can crack and craze.
These dolls are valued at up to $200 in bad condition, up to and over $1000 in excellent condition .
These listings include replica Shirley Temple dolls made after 1939 as well, so if you are looking for a real Shirley Temple Doll by Ideal, study each listing carefully and ask questions of the seller. A reputable seller will always be happy to discuss details.
