When buying a reborn doll ,allways look past the clothing they are dressed in . The clothing you can have the fun of purchasing off ebay and dressing them to you taste. Always  look at the face make sure it has that real baby expression being awake or asleep. If  the  eyes are open they should be dark brown or blue , newbornsalways have dark eyes, the bright eyes take away from the realness of the doll. alway get  micro rooted hair if possible. the wiggs always look like wigs.  Also check  the color of the skin , when looking at the ooak doll think would a newborn have this "example heavy eyebrows or very little eyebrows , thick lashes or bearly there eyelashes, and so on  always think newborn " if looking for older baby do the same "what would he or she have at this age".  This I beleive is the most important things to look at when buying a reborn ooak artist doll, one you would cherish for many years  and then pass down to some lucky little girl friend or family member. and there are many babies on ebay that you can purchase without taking out a loan to do so. So just be patient ,put many  reborn artist on your favorite's list  and keep a watchful eye out for that special little ooak that you are dreaming of .
