Breath of Life Babies? by Lee Middleton Original Dolls are Sold Out to Dealers

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) September 22, 2004

If you are one of thousands of doll collectors trying to find a July 2004 Breath of Life BabyÂ? by Lee Middleton Original Dolls, you might not want to hold your breath. The highly anticipated collection of lifelike dolls is now sold out to dealers. That means, while some dealers may still have July 2004 Breath of Life Babies for sale at their stores, the dolls can no longer be re-ordered from the company. Lee Middleton Original Dolls management is not surprised by the popularity of Breath of Life Babies. The incredibly lifelike dolls were first introduced at Toy Honest 2004 in New York City to rave reviews and dealers didnÂ?t dissipate any time placing their orders.

Â?Nearly half of the collection was sold before the dolls made their first appearance in our July 2004 catalog,Â? said Mark Putinski, Lee Middleton Original Dolls VP of marketing. Â?Some dealers even placed their orders sight unseen.Â?

Putinski stresses that while Breath of Life Babies may be hard for collectors to find, some retailers will have them available right through the celebration time of year.

Â?It may be challenging to find Breath of Life Babies, but we encourage our customers to visit our website at leemiddleton.com to explore our retailer locator information. They may be able to find the dolls through a uncommon retailer.Â?    

One reason why the Breath of Life Babies collection is so well loved is the dollsÂ? brand-new, skin-like vinyl called, New Baby SkinÂ?. This new vinyl gives Breath of Life Babies a soft, dewy texture that isnÂ?t tough or sticky. The Breath of Life Babies also figure realistic rooted hair called Baby FineÂ?. This soft, synthetic hair is rooted by hand and is full in some areas and sparse in other areas, just like a real preemie baby.

Four uncommon styles of Breath of Life Babies are offered in the July 2004 collection. Baby Kathryn features strawberry blonde hair, blue eyes, and a light skin tone. Baby Ellie features brown hair, brown eyes, and a dark skin tone. Baby Nathan features brown hair, closed eyes and a light skin tone. Baby Maries features brown hair, closed eyes, and a medium skin tone. Each doll is sculpted by award-winning artist Reva Schick and retails for $ 140.

While the July 2004 Breath of Life Babies are sold out to dealers, collectors can anticipate the release of more Breath of Life Babies in the January 2005 Lee Middleton Original Dolls catalog.

Question by MICHELLE S: Could anyone please tell me what the scale means when doing up dolls houses?
I have just bought a wooden dolls house to do up and as i am new to this i am not sure what the scale size is all about…12th and 24th etc.
Could anyone please help?

Best answer:

Answer by ZACK NEEDS HELP, OR HERE TO HELP
If you are plotting on building a dollhouse for physically or as a gift there are free plot sources available in several scales. You can find free plans on the web, or hold a variety of traditional front or back opening dolls house plans in scales from 1:6 (for make dolls) to 1:24 or G scale.
Make Simple Low-priced Roomboxes

Roomboxes are simple to make and can be made to custom sizes for school projects or displays. Most use book board, Davey board, a dense document fiber board used for book binding, or baltic birch plywood. If you make several boxes the same height, in a depth that will fit on a bookcase, you can build a miniature show room by room.

Make A Simple Roombox from Low-priced Book Board If the bookboard is cut by an adult, this is a honestly simple roombox or show box for a child to assemble. It can be built with or without a ceiling.

Reborn Baby Dolls

Reborn Baby Dolls

Recently there is a hot trend in a very unique leisure activity, which is having a Reborn Doll. The term Reborn Doll refers to a vinyl baby doll, that has been customized by a process of repainting and enhancement to resemble a human baby. The process of making a Reborn Doll is referred to as Reborning.

Not everyone understands reborning, the technique of Reborning has evolved over the past five being, as hobbyists and doll artists have refined the painting techniques and added technical enhancements, such as a heartbeat simulator. To the dilettante it’s a world of weird obsession, to the folks that do know, it provides endless hours of irreplaceable pleasure. More recently special Reborn doll kits are available, and mechanical enhancements are seen, such a battery powered breathing mechanism to simulate the breathing movements of a sleeping baby.

That pleasure is derived from beauty, artistry, and uniqueness of each doll, because just like human babies, reborn dolls come in every conceivable shape size and color – nowadays there are Caucasian, Asian, and African American Reborn Dolls.

Reborn dolls are exactly as they sound, they are dolls that have been stripped of their factory finishes and been “reborn” and transformed in to realistic looking babies. A quest for ‘reborn’ in the eBay dolls category yields meticulously refinished dolls made to look sometimes eerily like real babies.

Sometimes in mid July this year, in Australia, frantic police have smashed a dialogue box to rescue a seemingly unconscious baby from a locked vehicle, only to find it was a extremely lifelike doll, which is the reborn doll. Similar incident in the US when the dialogue box of a new Hummer was broken by police trying to rescue a “baby” that turned out to be a doll belonging to the owner’s wife.

From real skin tones and micro-rooted hair, a perfectly weighted body filled with special soft harvest, this is truly a multi-dimensional art..these babies look and feel real. Reborning baby dolls has be converted into a unique art skills and some of the well-known artists in this field excel in this very niche affair. A lot of people also take it as a leisure activity for the doll making as there are many tools available for ones to pursue on the interest.

Their chests rise and fall and you can hear a tiny heartbeat, but these babies for sale over the Internet are not alive. They are not only well loved mainly with collectors, but also with nostalgic grandparents and grieving parents. “Cuddle therapy” is what one reborning Website calls the leisure activity — the dolls’ bodies can be fitted with electronic devices that mimic a heartbeat and breathing.

As the dolls grow more well loved, doll-makers keep count new details to simulate the experience of holding a real baby. There are reborns that seem to breathe, ones that have a faint heartbeat, others that feel warm to the touch, since they come with heating packs. There are dolls modelled with premature babies that are sold with incubators, a breathing apparatus taped to their nostrils. Some makers add a milky, baby-powder scent. Doll-maker Becker washes her reborns repeatedly in baby shampoo so they no longer smell of vinyl but like a freshly bathed infant.

You don’t stop playing with dolls because you grow ancient. You grow ancient because you stop playing with dolls.
