I've been getting a lot of inquiries about price for customs. Here is a generalized breakdown of what ordering a custom will cost...
Cost of kit (and body) + $200 for a bald baby. You can choose degree of motttling, scratches, mila or milk bumps, stork bites or birthmarks. I tend to paint more newborn looking babies but can accommodate less newborn looking. Caucasian skin tones ranging from pinky/peach to a bit more tanned/ethnic. Sorry I do not paint African American skin tones at this time. Nails are tipped and sealed, I can do half moons if desired. Eyelashes are rooted with high quality mohair. All babies are lightly sealed with a matt or satin varnish and will have a soft feel vs overly sandpapery. I use Angel Silk stuffing which gives an unbelievable down like snuggliness. I weight the babies with fine glass beads that are double wrapped in a nylon stocking. Baby powder scented wafers are optional.
Add the following for additional choices
$65 for painted hair
$100 for combi hair
$175 for rooted hair
$15 for acrylic eyes
$50 for glass eyes
$30 flat rate shipping
All babies include a blanket, magnetic pacifier, diapers, pajamas, outfit, socks, onsie, magnetic baretts (if you choose) headband or hat and a hospital bracelet. COAs are always included where applicable. Everything will be brand new and either handmade or purchased. Smoke free home but I am pet friendly (dog)
While I do root and paint hair, I may begin sending them to other artists to have this done if their schedule allows. This will require additional time.
-my turn around time is 2 wks for a bald baby and varies for babies with painted or rooted hair. Please ask at time of order.
Yes, I will do painted kits for the more adventurous who'd prefer to put their babies together. Cost will be cost of kit (and body) +$150. I offer free shipping on this choice.
I often have babies in the works or babies who are available to purchase. These will be a little cheaper than customs once completed and offered for sale. Feel free to ask if any babies haven't found homes yet :)
Yes, I am happy to accommodate payment plans! I will ship to the US or Canada. Shipping to Canada will be an extra shipping cost. Buyer will be responsible for Canadian customs charges at time of delivery.
I can make "budget babies" which are bald babies that are a little cheaper. These would be babies suited to those on a budget or children. These will be bountiful baby kits that are sent home with washed and gently used clothing vs brand new. I will ise normal polyfill vs Angel soft. Everything else remains the same. Please let me know if the baby will be for a child. While reborns cannot withstand the heavy handling a child will do, I will make an extra effort to put an additional coat of varnish on the baby in key areas. Please understand that paint will wear and rub off in certain areas over time, from overhandling. Reborns are meant to be displayed not really played with. However, even my own children love them. Cost for a budget baby will be a flat $200 for a sleeping bald bountiful baby kit.
