Reborn Bella: a toy or a family member?

In recent years, such a toy as a reborn (Bella or any other), is becoming more popular. However, whether this creation can be called a toy is a big question. Until now, many who have seen the reborns for the first time are frightened of their immobile resemblance to real children. Yes, this doll is far from for everyone, because it is often very difficult to psychologically accept the fact that, it would seem, a real baby does not breathe ...

Reborn

The creatures of these (and Bell's re-bell in particular) are vinyl toys. Their base is performed in an industrial way, while the coloring of bodies, faces, hair addition is done manually. Experts involved in the design of these dolls, called rebornists, and the process - reborningom. Translated from English, this word means "rebirth". In this case, it is meant that an almost ordinary doll gets a new life, becoming an unlikely likeness to a living child.

Moldy

Mold is a set of "spare parts" from which a doll-reborn Bell (or any other) can be made. It will look like the customer or the master wants. The set includes a head, limbs, soft body, packing and connecting elements. All this is supplied unpainted, but the basic skin tone can be selected. To create a full-fledged toy, you must additionally purchase hair material, body and face paints, eyes, clothing.

With your own hands

Reborn Bella, like any other doll, does not have to be bought. Currently, you can even make these toys yourself. In online stores, a lot of materials are available, suitable for "baking" reborn. There are a lot of master classes, you can find courses where you will learn the basics of manufacturing. Of course, in order for the reborn (Bella, for example) to come out as much as possible like a real child, it will not only be necessary to master parts of the body skillfully, but also be able to apply paint to the skin in such a way that it looks alive. This includes not only the coloring of the lips, but also the application of the smallest capillaries, birthmarks, redness peculiar to babies.

The History of the Reborn

It is not known exactly how and why the first dolls of this kind appeared. There is a version according to which for the first time these creations became known to the American public in the late 80s of the last century. Initially, they were released as ordinary game dolls, but the manufacturers of children's clothes happily began to buy them to showcase their products. This gave impetus to the development of reborning, after which the popularity of dolls grew every year.

Today, one of the most popular characters in the pictures is the doll-reborn Bella. Photos of the sleeping "child" are placed in social networks, they are sent to friends by e-mail, they boast and are proud.

Modern rebornists can fulfill to order any kind of work. These kids can be of any age - from newborns to first-graders. The master can send a photo, and he will accurately copy the appearance of the child. You can ask for similarities with the screen star, athlete or neighbor in the stairwell. Today's rebounds are not always human children. On special orders, young monkeys and fairy-tale characters are made, for example, a small hobbit.

The last generations of these toys mimic the breathing and heartbeat.

Who buys these toys?

Of course, not everyone wants to have such a miracle of puppetry in his house.

Most often, these toys are purchased by ladies whose children have long since grown up, or childless women. Playing with these babies, changing clothes, bathing them, the customers satisfy their maternal instinct. Very often, such women arrange for the "children" of the photo session, placing photos on social networks. Reborn Bella never fusses, does not cry, does not cause trouble to her "mommy." In a word, these toys are ideal babies.

In addition, often the "services" of the rebounds are the centers for the preparation of expectant mothers. After all, there is no more suitable simulator for inexperienced parents than a child who can not be harmed.

Sometimes these "substitutes" get after a terrible loss, but most people do not even want to think about it.

To buy a reborn in our country is not difficult. Just a few years ago, we had to order them abroad, but today we have our own masters who can offer both molds and a fully equipped "baby". The cost depends on the name of the master, the number of accessories, "age" and other factors. Most often, bare molds cost from 20 thousand rubles. The maximum cost is thousands of dollars.
