    I think he’s adorable. Several of my dolls have issues with rooting and painting. My Levi boy has a great paint job, but the goofiest rooting I’ve ever seen, and my Levi girl is stiff as a board and so far I haven’t messed with her. But then most of my dolls are budget babies, and weren’t that expensive. I guess it all comes down to whether or not you think you can live with the things that bother you about him. I’d rate his painting and rooting as so-so. To me, it wouldn’t be a deal breaker, but you need to be happy with your purchase.

    • @ShellBellsChannel
      @ShellBellsChannel  2 года назад +2

      There isn’t a regulated price in the reborn community which really sucks. I thought that if you paid about $500 that you would definitely get a lovely quality doll and I wouldn’t say that I received a great quality doll for what I paid.

    His rooting is very plugged. You can root a thick head of hair without it being plugged. I do it by rooting 2 strands per “hole” and having them closer together. I suck at hair cutting though🤣

    Hello, oh wow I hope his price reflects the hair rooting and painting. I feel he is a reborn beginner baby, not for a seasoned collector. Yes he was way way too stiff. Babies can be all different colours born. The dots are not meant to be there. The artist properly is not experienced and is not checking each layer. The paints are smeared and not blended. The creases are just painted and not blended . The rooting is just horrible, plugging is for beginner artist whom are learning the art and patience and pride of reborn dolls and the price would reflect this. I am sorry but you did ask for an opinion. Yes I have painted many reborns and silicone babies. I would sell and move on. You are right, the baby is not terrible but is not a baby for a seasoned collector. 🤗❤️

    • @ShellBellsChannel
      @ShellBellsChannel  3 года назад +3

      Yes I guess I thought he was a decent priced baby but after getting him I Checked his kit price and that’s close to $150 so I can understand the price being on the low side.

  • @janinebarnes2642
    @janinebarnes2642 3 года назад

    Yes, it’s just a case of the paint not being blended properly and a bit sloppy with the creasing, in terms of colour, that’s personal preference, some babies have purple on their feet and can have very red newborn skin tones. The rooting is quite pluggy, which is not for everyone. Like people have commented, it depends what you paid for him, you get what you pay for. He is quite cute for a basic reborn.

    • @ShellBellsChannel
      @ShellBellsChannel  3 года назад

I just wasn't happy to think I'd have to buy cable ties just to take out the stuffing in order to have a cuddly baby. All she said was oh, some people like them fuller. Oook then lol.

      That is true, but I didn’t enjoy this one so I passed it on

    I'd send him back and get a refund! That's a horrible job!

    Sorry but this is a very poorly painted doll..I hope you did not pay a high price for him..shoddy work.

      I thought I paid a decent price for him. Enough money for this work to not be like this but unfortunately there’s no standards in the reborn world and that’s what happens sometimes.. :/
