I bought 3 dolls from Andrea so far, they bring me so much joy, I had them for two years now 🩷🌻 her work is unmatched, it’s crazy to know she’s only been doing this for 3 years, her art is truly worth every penny🩷 I’m not a mother, I don’t have mental illness, I just like cute realistic baby dolls, you don’t have to think people who own them are weird, it’s just like collecting Disney figure, we reborn collectors love these reborn dolls and the process of bringing them to life is a long process for both the artist and the buyer🩷 no regret at all, best purchase ever, it’s expensive but worth it for me
These realistic dolls can also help women suffering from dementia! It helps them relive some of the only memories they still have - of bring a young mother. It’s a beautiful thing to watch them sing to the babies, rock them and love them!
@@Jpbawlings I hear you. I only know what I’ve seen myself with my mom and other women who have dementia. They truly believe the dolls are real, yet have no conceptual understanding of what that would mean - much like a very young child who thinks a doll as a real baby - but has no actual understanding of what that means or entails. When one suffers from advanced dementia, there is little joy or happy experiences because the entire world around them makes little to no sense. But these realistic dolls do help them feel needed and they also remind them and spark old memories of happier days - that they think are still happening because of the dolls. My hope is you never have to experience having a loved one with dementia. It is a terrible, tragic disease. It’s like watching the one you love evaporate before your eyes, bit by bit each day. For me, the dolls are a way to see my mom with a smile - something that rarely ever happens now because so little of her mind can function in any normal way. She can’t read anymore because she can’t remember the line she read right after she read it. So there is no “story” to her. She can’t write. She can’t talk on the phone. She can’t ask for what she wants or needs. She doesnt even know most of the time who I and her other (adult) children are. She’s lost and frustrated, but has no capacity to ask questions to clarify things or express herself. She doesn’t even know she doesn’t know. It’s like being trapped in your body, without cognitive awareness, but with terrifying fears because nothing makes sense. All the best to you.
@@papabear2515 I'm so sorry about your mom..my husband was getting Alzheimer's when he passed away in a head on car crash..I'm almost glad it happened before it took him over. Nomader what I was going to have my heart broken.
Anyone who says that these types of dolls look like corpses do not know what they are talking about. I know a woman who works in the NICU with sick and premature babies in the hospital and she says that they do not look like healthy babies, since there skin tone and texture ect change when they pass away. These dolls look like healthy babies only without movement. They are beautiful. I work at a university we use them as examples of what a healthy baby should look like when they are born ect.
One reborn baby I saw, my friend's daughter carrying it. It has a terrible blue tinge to it, and it certainly looked dead. I had to pull out everything I had to disguise my horror. Thankfully the ones done well are beautiful..we got given several at the aged care facility I work at, after I put out a request. Done by an amateur, I had to bin them, they were absolutely terrible
Many people from other countries don't know about Mediacorp and our local movies. They are the standard family drama, low budget variety cooking shows etc. Tell me how is this considered creative when whatever they make are pretty much the same?
They are absolutely beautiful when done well. I remember seeing realistuc baby dolls advertised in a magazine when i was a kid n was positively fascinated, reading about how realistic their skin felt and that they were weighted to feel like a real baby. If i had one, id probably become one of those crazy people, dressing them up n taking them for walks, etc. unfortunately my husband would not be too accomodating
I have reborn babies. I understand the artistry, materials, time, etc. But, I could never or would ever spend that amount for a Doll. You do beautiful work and I'm happy you are able to do what you love for a living.
@@mysticmoth1111 ive had a silicone before. But, i like vinyl better. The silicone babies are really floppy and seem all over the place, where as the vinyl look more realistic due to the paint and they actually stay how you move them
i have five kids, but the youngest is 7 and I am crazily wishing I had another baby around to hold and kiss. I think this is a good idea, to get one of these dolls and just hold it once in a while to get my baby fix !!! i can just enjoy the feeling of holding a baby and kissing a baby!! I am wondering if she can also create the shape of the baby, would love for the doll to look like my kids when they were a baby!
Yes, a good artist can do what is called a kit match. They look through all the authentic sculpts and find one that most resembles a photo or even better if we have several photos to reference. You pick preferences like open eyed or closed, approximate age like preemie, newborn and even some slightly older if the faces are similar. You can pick hair color and how red and newborn the painting is.
Fantastic work even if i feel its creepy that people has them. But i can understand different aspekts of having them like perhaps lost a Child, dementis, collectors of real looking dolls etc I have seen people with dementis that got a fake cat that says mjau, purring, lifting a paw and make movements so interaction starts. Its fantastic to see. But these folks cant do anything- have i got that right? But if people can feel themselves more whole or satisfied of them- WHO am i to judge then.
No doubt the lady is extremely talent and the baby dolls are worth the price tag. I still think that owning the dolls is creepy though. My superstitious mind is telling me that the silicon doll will enjoy my pampering and call out to me 3 am in the morning. Lol
i think these bbs are a godsend for those who love them...i saw a clip where the reborns were moving..eyes lips limbs..was this just ai or do they actually exist?
You know what wouldn’t they be neat and she probably could do this if she could take a picture of your real baby and turn it into a realistic doll of your child then I might consider buying one. My God.
Wonderfull, but the misic is disturbing loud and hectic. Music should be soft and calming down. Video would feel much more healing and much more according to the need of little children.
Can you contact me. My sister has 2 reborn dolls that were made for her but I dont know who did the work. My sister passed away and I dont know what to do with them as they are not toys and they were very expensive. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

Amazing she has reached this level of detail and craft with a short 3 years, wonder if she has a past history of arts
She definitely does.

these dolls you can order different colours, black, green, blue.

This is sick and not normal
Who says Singaporeans are dull and non-creative? Andrea is an inspiring individual who demonstrates the creativity and dynamism present in Singapore.
Many people from other countries don't know about Mediacorp and our local movies. They are the standard family drama, low budget variety cooking shows etc. Tell me how is this considered creative when whatever they make are pretty much the same?
no, its just plain shitbad crazy
A true painstaking artist bringing joy to so many.
She looks so young for 50 and she has an amazing talent!
Asian women look like this at 50
@@Mikomido5yeah ..
50😢. Omg my mom passed away last year at 44😢. She was very beautiful but unfortunately got ill too soon
@@Mikomido5it depends thoo, when i went to Shanghai, tokyo, Bangkok... I realised that it really depends on the person.
Not really she still failed her competition. amazing talent imply she never has to work hard for it.
Perfect gifts for mother in laws
Oh yes
I'm not a mother but I can feel her bliss ❤❤ To me, this is a blessed gift.
wowwwww she’s such a talented artist!! i’m so amazed at how realistic they look
They are so beautiful. I love the realistic hair a lot!❤️❤️
Beautiful art pieces! I can see how they can help grieving mothers too.
50 years 🤯 she looks like 35-40.
I thought she was in her 20s, my jaw dropped
Shocked me too, even though I’m also Asian and used to people looking young for their age.
So interesting! Thanks CNA for the documentary!
The dolls are so realistic!
I hope Andrea will teach others how to be a creative artist in this magical field of work!
SHE IS A NATURAL ARTIST !!!!! CONGRATULATIONS .....ANDREA !!!!!💜👍🍀🌈

I would love to be able to make a living doing something creative that makes others so happy.
I had the same thoughts too.. I have seen some anime artist who paint sculptures for living make really good money with it.. I really envy them
Scrapbooking, resin art (with memory ashes of loved ones), clothes reusing clothes etc good businesses 🫶
👏👏This is beautiful art, Ms. Lee is an amazing artist!
I love this and it’s very hard work to do every detail. Wow
Wow this is amazing.. they look so real!
Looks real babies. Gifted talent.
I have reborn babies. I understand the artistry, materials, time, etc. But, I could never or would ever spend that amount for a Doll. You do beautiful work and I'm happy you are able to do what you love for a living.
Are yours silicone? I'm interested in a reborn baby and the silicone ones are so much more realistic!
@@mysticmoth1111 ive had a silicone before. But, i like vinyl better. The silicone babies are really floppy and seem all over the place, where as the vinyl look more realistic due to the paint and they actually stay how you move them
Oh my this woman is so talented they look so real and adorable ❤
I can see how this would be beneficial for some people. So sweet ❤
Kudos on the painting skill ❤
What a talent, love children and your babies are so adorable and cute.
Not really she still failed her competition. talent imply she never has to work hard for it.
I have 2 reborns and I love them! ❤️
Her skill is amazing
Okay. You are an AMAZING artist, but when I watch the part about 'baking the dolls' I can see why your friends think this is a little creepy.❤❤
Amazing, didn’t quite understand it in the beginning but towards the end I think I understood.
2:20 "this is the oven i use to bake all my babies". Imagine hearing that out of context. lmao
Her daughter is beautiful
7:07
NO LOL, 6:56, thick big lips, masculine facial bone, narrow eyes. you call that beautiful ?? 🤣🤣
You are fantastic Andrea. Don't bother about those bad remarks in the comments. It is pure envy and jealousy. 👍👍

So gifted!
Price is definitely justified, these dolls are amazing works of art. The details are insane. Keep doing what you do !
This is so cool! Amazing talent!

@@vars1449 Fine. Amazing skillz!
I paint vinyl reborn dolls! They’re so fun!
the next step is to add robotics elements / auto movements and baby AI that needs attention like Tamagotchi 😅
Amazing talent!
This can be useful for shooting movies or TV series with baby roles
Yes they can make the babies getting murder with blood look realistic.
what an amazing reborn doll artist shes incredible love her work ❤❤
These are just beautiful works of art. ❤
Her dolls are so realistic!
I'm sure they could use these in movies or TV..they look real
Really amazing works of art! ❤👍
Amazing works of art
Her work is incredible!
They look real.. Amazing
She and her daughter at 6:54 looks more like sisters! She looks like she could be an actress at 6:18!
Crazy Post Menopausal Broads. Collecting sure, but bathing, feeding, and talking to it like it’s real is just wow. Lmao!
Pet owners talk to their pets like children. Some would think they're crazy too.
What an amazing artist! So realistic!
Such amazing talent ❤

Bruhhhhh they look so realistic :O
i saw her on ig before, her art is amazing
I would love to get one too
Thailand would be your biggest market in South East Asia...
Need to get a religion master (Ajarn) for blessing, hahahah.
I hope they can make affordable reborn dolls
They do, I have 2 reborn babies. They are on my other channel Deaf reborn mom.
"This is the oven that i use to bake all my babies..." O..k.. you're the witch from hansel & gretel. Got it. 😅
I collect reborns I currently have 7
The ad I heard sounds like clapping cheeks 😂
Her painting skills are seriously exceptional just how are they so realistic?? Amazing detailing.
Very nice ! ... 👍
No doubt the lady is extremely talent and the baby dolls are worth the price tag.
I still think that owning the dolls is creepy though. My superstitious mind is telling me that the silicon doll will enjoy my pampering and call out to me 3 am in the morning. Lol
Same, i even feel uncomfortable with realistic human painting not mention a realistic baby doll with solid body, i wont be able to sleep 😶🌫️
Not really she still failed her competition. saying she is extremely talent imply she never has to work hard for it.
i think these bbs are a godsend for those who love them...i saw a clip where the reborns were moving..eyes lips limbs..was this just ai or do they actually exist?
Wait, 50?!!?!?!
it looks realistic
You know what wouldn’t they be neat and she probably could do this if she could take a picture of your real baby and turn it into a realistic doll of your child then I might consider buying one. My God.
Sculptors do that, some reborn kits are created in their vision.
is this the doll they use in movies i wonder
50????😵Wow she looks 10yers or more younger❤
my question is: She is a mother of 4 reborn babies or human babies? 😀
Indeed 😅
Real babies. She makes 26 reborn babies a year.
Talented work of art, but to me, it looks and feels creepy, too real!😊
Sorry not paying 6 grand for a doll
She’s so young to he 50! Wow
My question is where do you purchase the plain doll from? Do they come in bulk for these doll artists to purchase them?
Online, type in reborn doll kits. Yes in millions and limited numbers they are created. I have 2 reborn babies. Check it in Deaf reborn mom channel.
Does the weight match size too.
Does it feel like skin?
the babies are weighted! as for texture it depends on what you buy, vinyl or silicone
Wonderfull, but the misic is disturbing loud and hectic. Music should be soft and calming down. Video would feel much more healing and much more according to the need of little children.
Beautiful works of art, though I can understand why some may feel creepy about them.
She is 50 and still has her grandmother 😮
Maravilhosa artista
Look so real 😮 isit movie prop ? movie company buy them ?
Cool but creepy
Bizzare to me. 🚨
and 22-24 inch, 4-5 lbs.
You spelt my friends name wrongly. Its HEULWEN not huelwen
does it matter? this is about Andrea, not anyone else
Thanks Lord for bible study class
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
Can you contact me. My sister has 2 reborn dolls that were made for her but I dont know who did the work. My sister passed away and I dont know what to do with them as they are not toys and they were very expensive. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
Where can I buy one of your dolls?
1:18 she lists them here
Asians got Nigerians accent fr😂
I have a reborns doll
Those are good looking dolls, but ain’t NF way I’m dropping that type of money. To each their own.
If in the next step she starts making replicas of grown persons when they were babies or young kids, then the cost of the art wouldn't matter.
My aunt has one of these. I won't go near it. It's creepy and freaks me out.
she does not look 50!!
T H E R E A L I S M
AGI will make it a reality
50 years old asian equals to 30 years old other continent….tq
I want one
