The finishing touches that complete a reborn
- Eyelashes: Individual or strip lashes applied to upper lids for a natural, wide-eyed look.
- Doll wigs: An alternative to rooted hair, available in mohair and synthetic styles for quick styling changes.
- Infant clothing: Real newborn or preemie clothing sized to fit the doll. Adds to the lifelike presentation.
- Magnetic pacifiers: Pacifiers with embedded magnets that attach to a magnet placed inside the doll's mouth.
- Varnish & sealant: Applied as a final coat to protect paint layers and add a realistic skin sheen (matte, satin, or gloss finishes).
- COA blanks & certificates: Certificates of Authenticity documenting the sculpt, artist, and materials used. Expected by serious collectors.
