Why are these babies so expensive?

[@Anthix221]

It really annoys me when people say “I know someone who can do it for cheaper”. Like okay? It’s not gonna be better quality though

[@80nomads74]

Even if it was the same quality, just because that person wants to be underpaid for their work doesn't mean everyone else should be!

[@abigailrhodes4231]

Or just tell them "Then why are you telling me? Go buy it from them if they're cheaper"

[@garfielddddddd]

oh dear lord i thought they were real. it takes insane talent to create something so realistic

[@JustMe-no8el]

For the hours you put in the price it's kind of low. The new black baby is already looking crazy good

[@jenniferbelley1147]

Your babies are really lovely.

[@salemswhich6668]

Jesus christ i thought you was holding you actual babies holy crap they're so life like omg you've got an amazing talent omg im totally stunned

[@aeriontaylor]

Works of art. And worth every penny ❤

[@Tara_Masika]

A lady I worked with collected baby dolls. She had a room decked out like a nursery. They were incredibly life like. They were all asleep in their little beds. It was a surreal and unforgettable experience.

[@dagenpracchia6683]

That last part👏 artists deserve to be paid!!

[@janessajaybee7778]

Whoa! Fantastic job on the babies specifically the brown skin baby. I’m currently saving up to buy one; all your dolls are just beautifully crafted. Well done 💛

[@marygrummer9189]

Your hair rooting is amazing! Best I’ve ever seen.

[@rebornsofjess]

Wow, thank you! I'm always looking to improve

[@MadisonDawson-bn9hl]

Yes it is!

[@HeyLetsTalkAboutIt]

You are so talented. The dolls aren’t “expensive”, they are priced accordingly to the work put into them.

[@annataymond9529]

That’s honestly pretty fast (considering how detailed they are I mean, not fast for a work day), I don’t think I finish my paintings anywhere near that quickly. I don’t know how you get them so realistic and detailed in that amount of time.

[@helenakausch1102]

I don't think that is that expensive. They are essentialy realistic sculptures. They are HANDMADE and pieces of art

[@queenwitchypooh222]

You can’t help but to hold them like precious little bundles of joy. You’re an artist and it shows❤

[@BrettHunter97]

I never got into these dolls beyond admiring the artistry, I remember when they were thousands of dollars/pounds because premade kits didn't exist (I don't know if you're using premade or not) & the doll makers had to handpour & make custom molds themselves. I'm so glad that those kits allow this sort of thing to become more accessible! I'm actually shocked at how much the price has dropped in comparison to the earlier days of this artistry! You do wonderful work!

[@annataymond9529]

Are you thinking of silicone dolls? Because I’m pretty sure berenguer dolls were used when it started and that’s where the term reborn came from, because they were “berenguer reborn” since they stripped the factory paint and repainted them.

[@BrainError]

Your prices are basically just at minimum wage. 40x 11.44 = 457.60. people don't realise this. Artists very often get paid minimum wage for their art and even more often, well below.

[@Bubbabee105]

I thought they were real not gonna lie i get why they are so expensive

[@Sabrina_116]

I read "pricing" as "piercing"

[@Theistocrat]

800 pounds? damn that's a heavy baby

[@Hayleigh077]

IM CRYING this comment is too funny 😭😭😭

[@karenw.pennicook8669]

The doll cost 800 pounds not weight 800pounds

[@Theistocrat]

@@karenw.pennicook8669 800 pounds of what?

[@Bri-nc8yp]

@@karenw.pennicook8669In America pounds means weight. We use the metric system. However, common sense would tell you that baby doesn’t weight that much. Also, the person speaking has a British accent so therefore when they are referring to “pounds” they are most likely talking about British Currency.

[@dianneconte9494]

LOL

[@diannwilliamson4709]

It's such a shame that people complain about the price of your Babies 😕 With the amount of Love, time, creativity, thought, experience, expertise, care, & joy you put into each one, I know they're worth Every bit. Not to mention all the extra's you give, by adding the cute clothes, the sent (fragrance) just Everything you do. You're just Wonderful 🥰💖😃😉 Thank you for sharing yourself, Love, & Talent with all of us.

[@glorygracek.1841]

We had a doll store that we would go to to look, and Mom got us each an 18" doll from there and came with a cheap outfit. When these newborn dolls first came out, they had one on display and Mom asked if we girl could see it, when the lady said yes, Mom went to pick it up and when that head flopped.....her Mama bear instincts kicked it and she "dove" for the baby's head. The lady had warned Mom the head would flop......but she wasn't expecting it to be THAT realistic! Lol

[@EandBsiblings]

haha that is funny

[@PlayerTenji95]

Now that’s impressive!

[@ur_bestie_egg]

Your price of dolls is completely fine! If someone really wants a high quality and EXTREMELY CUTE baby doll, then they’re going to have to pay that price. I did have a question, though. Why are the dolls called “reborns?”

[@musicmom7889]

Before blank kits were available, artists would buy factory-made dolls at the store. They would strip off all of the paint, repaint them, add hair, weight them, and add other small details. The dolls were essentially “reborn” into new dolls.

[@ur_bestie_egg]

@@musicmom7889Ohh that makes sense, thank you

[@princessmyhand]

Yes, you DO DEFINITELY DESERVE to be paid your worth! These dolls are a work of art! ART!!! They are not play things…. They are not TOYS!!! They are touchable, holdable, movable ART!!! Dropping them or rough handling can/ will result in damage! These dolls are designed for gentle handling and display only! They look like REAL babies! The more a doll looks and feels real, the more time, effort, and supplies are used to create these masterpieces! If you want a doll with quality such as this… you have 2 options. Buy one from a reputable artist and/or seller OR have the skill to make one yourself! Either way IT WILL cost money to do!!!

[@KiraMiles]

I think it might be cheap compared to the love and therapy wise these dolls are.

[@elephantwellyphant6866]

They are sooo cuteee

[@dianneconte9494]

It’s the silicones that are really expensive! I have 6 of them and they went from $1,800.00 to $3,400.00! I’ve seen some on eBay for almost $7,000.00!

[@Productions_Wolf]

I think you deserve much more attention I hate the fact that you get so much hate comments:( Have a great day!

[@doreenludwig7472]

Do you do any reborn baby dolls with open eyes?

[@rebornsofjess]

I don't usually make them with open eyes as I struggle to get the eyes in, but I do have a few open eye kits waiting to be made :)

[@alexandrajohnson886]

I thought those were real babies for a second 😮

[@trudybutcher6256]

Where can we get one of your beautiful babies

[@rocketterrier]

Honestly, I don't have a lot of money but I still don't see that as that expensive. I really thought you were going to say these cost over £1000 because I'd pay way more than £800 for that level of detail and care!

[@partyinthecloudkingdom]

there was a trend a while back comparing artists' faces to their art and i gotta say, i keep forgetting these arent your real children and are dolls you've painted and haired

[@AudreyW1997]

Hey jess i love your channel and im really interested in reborns. I havent had the chance to get my hands on one yet but i do have a question. When i am able to and have the money is ot possible to send (someone like you who makes these) a picture of my son as a baby to have a reborn that looks just like him? Do some people do that? Or do I need to contact like the reborn company? Thx! ❤

[@If4c4ad3]

Tbh... like... um... thats actually?? A steal?? Like seriously thats actually an extremely reasonable price.

[@myheartismadeofstars]

IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO PROCESS YOUR FACE SO THE ONLY THING I GOT WAS YOU TALKING ABOUT THE PRICE OF BABIES 😂

[@BubbleB0T]

I honestly thought they’d be much more I think that’s very reasonable to be honest. It’s about the price of a non designer wedding dress and I think that’s very reasonable. As a disabled person who has just bought a power assist for my custom manual wheelchair that cost me £6k I can tell you these are priced well. Equipment for disabled people… that isn’t 😂

[@deannak5501]

What kind of paint do you use?

[@user-kn4fn8pg7e]

I literally had a heart attack when the text read pricing my babies and you were holding your dolls. Theyre so relistic omfg

[@muffinlove6133]

That's actually not that expensive. I say an average of 600 to 700 is to be expected when buying a reborn baby. Tbh I would have expected prices to go up with how expensive the world is.

[@0keyd0kei]

do you sell silicone+plush body dolls or are these dolls vinyl?

[@Player1_Mikey]

Honestly, from another creator, thats so freakin cheap, mate! Even not creator perspective. I expected them to be over £1000 tbh

[@L-sillybrained]

How much in American dollars

Do you do custom babies to look like real babies?

[@rebornsofjess]

I don't make customs sorry

[@Zelda00Gamer]

It’s such a silly question. These aren’t mass produced baby dolls like that’s so clearly obvious?? Anyone who has ever owned a doll knows what they looked like and they never looked so real you’d think they were! So dumb.
