This is Baby Katelyn that we created from a pre-painted kit from Kinby, a sister company to Bountiful Baby, that sells children's dolls. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to purchase the Katelyn kit, as well as Grace, Nathan, and Imani. (listed in other listings) These dolls were sculpted from the likeness of real babies, giving them realism. This kit features a vinyl head that is pre-painted, including the sweet molded hair, and vinyl full length arms and legs. The dolls have rings on the head and limbs so they can be easily turned for posing. We added a nice suede cloth body like we use on our reborns, that is slightly weighted so it isn't too heavy for little ones to carry and care for. Since the lengthy, time consuming painting step was already done and the hair was painted, eliminating the need for the tedious process of rooting real hair, as well as the eyes being pre-set, it is possible to offer a finished doll that is "reborn" (like Mom's) at a much reduced price. We did add more eyelashes to the doll to show off her pretty, expressive eyes. We chose a lovely new turquoise outfit for Katelyn with the Chevron design and matching headband. We put little fisherman sandals on her feet and assembled a layette for her to bring home with her. She will bring a little rattle, a new style "orange juice" bottle (that disappears when you feed the baby), a plush giraffe with a matching bow on its neck, a cute pink onesie, and a reversible blanket with giraffes that was made especially for her. Thank you so much for shopping with us!! |
