I agree that “replica” is a more appropriate word. I just used the word “fake” because it’s what so many people call them (especially those who loudly oppose them and attack others for having them). I’m excited to see more videos of the farm and the animals! I’m going to try to be more active on TH-cam next year, as well. I think folks will be surprised - and hopefully entertained, lol - by what I have planned :) Thanks for the response video and all the very sweet things you said! I’ve been thinking about this issue for so long and debated whether or not to discuss it (and wondered whether making a video would make things better or worse). Ultimately, having been here a long time and seeing all of this play out, I had to say something. I have no issue with people who only want to buy legit. I have no issue with people who vocalize that and advocate for that. In fact, I once was one of them, until I saw a very prominent sculptor putting people’s names on her social media, calling people out and (effectively) encouraging others to do the same - because if a professional (and I use that term loosely after what I saw!) sculptor acts like that, it must be ok for everyone to do it, right? I found that to be beyond deplorable and absolutely disgusting and unprofessional. There is a right and wrong way to advocate for oneself and others, and that was the wrong way. Disagreeing with what others do is inevitable but the nasty behavior towards folks simply because they disagree is unnecessary and doesn’t do anything to help the situation. I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I really don’t intend to call out anyone in particular, but more to bring attention to some things people may not have thought about in this whole thing and point out the ridiculousness and completely pointless nasty behavior that is going on, as well as the blatant hypocrisy of it all. I hope we ALL have a wonderful 2024 and hopefully we can find a way to coexist here peacefully.
Lexi, you have created a video that stands up for DOZENS and DOZENS of senior ladies living on pensions who just want a doll to love and share it with other ladies! You are a HERO in my books! Because you are not only an OG youtuber, your a Brilliant artist. And I'm not shy to name, names Ping Lau raked my friend Linda over the coals and Bonnie Brown did the same to Springflower. My respect ended there. People unalive themselves over Cyberbullying.
@@THECOUNTRYCOTTAGE totally agree with you... I had to do a response video to a well known channel who used an analogy to describe those who buy replicas... th-cam.com/video/Xb7nUH_1cng/w-d-xo.html sooo uncalled for because a majority of them are my friends... have a great 2024
As I left on Her video that I even got attacked over a comment I posted a picture with on a thread on a non doll group. This individual didn’t even read my comment and just went straight to saying my doll was an illegal stolen copy. When in fact she isn’t I have her COA and she her sculptors name stamped on her neck. Also the artists who made her doesn’t sell the “stolen kits nor makes them to sell. It’s unbelievable that people won’t even read posts or fully read them before attacking. The individual even said they didn’t read my comment they were just sick of seeing “stolen kits”which had nothing to do what I posted. I don’t care what others buy it’s not my business nor will I attack or troll people for what they buy. 💯
The outfits are beyond beautiful! The babies look adorable. ❤ I thoroughly enjoy your doll group. It's so much fun to see the different types of dolls everyone collects. Reborn prices are ridiculous. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have that kind of spare cash to spend. I'll probably be purchasing a new doll soon. Saw one on Temu! It's my hobby. I collect dolls. Period!❤ Happy New Year to all of our dolly sisters and brothers!❤
Gorgeous babies❤. I have a beautiful Berenger baby and getting a reborn from Temu next month. I could never afford the artist babies. I truly appreciate the work they put into creating them but sadly I cannot afford them. I just found your channel and can’t wait to see more of your dolls
Julie your group has created such an amazingly safe place for us !!! EVERY doll is celebrated and I’ve already met an amazing friend thanks to u !!! U know all 6 of my girls are replicas n I ADORE them n cannot imagine not having them !!! Bullies never win in the end and THEY are ruining the hobby imo !! Anyways, The girls look absolutely stunning in their beautiful new outfits, especially my favorite girl Esme !!! I’m goin on over to check out that vid now but thank u so so much for giving me and so many others a safe space to enjoy this hobby !!! Have a safe n happy New Years !!! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸💗💗💗💗💗
Any doll no matter what, to that person that loves it , it is that person's choice. I myself could care less what someone collects whether artist kits or replicas. Most cannot afford these expensive dolls or kits. That is why I do not make videos till this day. I have a large collection of beautiful dolls older ones and reborns. I do not care what anyone would say about my collection if it bothers you don't watch. I collect what I like and so do others so for those that think they are the police of what people can do and collect. Just hold you tongue and your comments we could care less. Thanks for posting this video everything that is make is replicated by someone else not just these kits.
I appreciate what you had to say in this video. I'm new to the reborn world and am torn about what dolls to get, especially since I can't afford the expense. Been considering sculpting and painting my own as I would like more Hispanic babies. I put up a video of 12" baby twin replicas I had received and promptly took it down when I was told they were not real, which made me upset because they looked pretty real to me. But, oh well, I digress. Just wanted to thank you for all you had to say.
The girls look just absolutely adorable. They are so precious. I can’t wait to come along as you spruce up your new twins. Let’s have a great 2024. Be well & take care.
Hi Julie no I didn't watch her video cause I'm so over it with this and just want this new year to be full of joy and love with our babies in this community and hobby.and the girls look fabulous in there outfits absolutely love it wishing you a fabulous 2024 God bless and enjoy the rest of your day my friend ❤😍😀🎆🎊🎇🎉🫂 exactly Julie thank you Jesus and Amen to that.
Merry Christmas and happy new year 😊❤😊they look beautiful hun i love all types of dolls and my reborns you have beautiful babies those outfits are beautiful hun 😊sending love to you ❤you are wonderful for your love for dolls
I have a shoe collection too, mainly for winter. The rest of the time my babies are barefoot or just wear socks. I grew up running thru the world barefoot and that's how I like my babies too.
HUGS TO YOU, my Bestie Chicky!! 🥰💟☀💙❄💞💕✨🌲⛄☃☕🍼☺💖 Esmae is so very scrumptious for sure!! I am excited for the new year and I also watched Lexi's video (only last night!! I am behind on my watching) ... ..... I've been a fan of Lexi's since I started the hobby and I always appreciate her REAL and HONEST point of view. There are a few people in this community that I appreciate and they inspire me to remember why I LOVE THIS HOBBY!! Here's to a New Year coming up ..... where we LEAVE THE NEGATIVITY and the people that GO WITH IT... !!!! Hugs and Love to you, my beautiful chicky!! xoxoxo
You have beautiful clothes for the babies!!! This is a older video but i watched cause i didn't think I saw it, the content is on going, i can't afford the reborn prices and sadly they say there are "budget babies" but you will still pay 200 dollars for some kind of "ugly" baby mostly no offense to any artist who is practicing . So it's really sad that you have to either spend a fortune on an artist doll or purchase an unrealistic doll from Walmart!!! Sorry, but i don't like Paradise Galleries or Ashton Drake dolls for realism, to me they are a higher end child's toy baby and artists tell people to buy these dolls because they are authentic. Maybe someday you will be able to get a realistic reborn at Amazon prices, artists will make just as much money or more if prices were lower. Bullying is a waste of time and a shame that anyone would bully YOU for having a replica doll, someone who has already spent and supported so many artists with your MONEY!!!! Well, thanks for your interesting content and i adore your cottage ,babies and Fur babies, i follow you to see them, love the baby goats,rabbits,and pups!!

I’ve been collecting dolls for years and have no idea how you join the doll community or the reborn community.
I love them ❤
Awe!! They are so cute and sweet in their pretty outfits. Did you ever do the giveaway on the 1st.? I didn't see a video.
Not yet!❤it's coming
Are the clothing that you put on your reborn children made just for dolls or are they for human babies?😊
Only human baby clothing for my bunch!!!!!❤
I have a shoe collection too, mainly for winter. The rest of the time my babies are barefoot or just wear socks. I grew up running thru the world barefoot and that's how I like my babies too.
Tu, Tu cute :)
Are all your dolls fake , yes it is because all the fake dolls people are leaving the community, and that’s accurate.
They so cute I love all dolls
Loved it and love u
Esme
