I'd pick up my silicone baby Ben, I didn't like the coldness of the silicone but once he warmed up to my body the cuddles were so much better. I do think there's a lot more positives with having a vinyl reborn but at the end of the day a cool experience even though Sam wasn't your cup of tea. x
He looks like he needs to be matted, the shiny spots are indicators of that. I have several silicone dolls and would be happy to mail you some silicone finishing powder you just take a makeup brush and dust it over his face. It will take that shine away and give him an even matte complexion. I hope im not over stepping, if you decide he's not for you I fully support your decision ☺ If you'd like the matting powder just let me know I have loads. Great video as always! ( also, you can take some pure cornstarch or johnsons baby powder in the meantime and dust it over his face and it will remove the shine spots as well) Hope that helps 💕)
I had a feeling that you would choose a short term foster. I think it has more to do with him being a sleeper than him needing some touch ups. I always wonder why you collect babies who are sleeping they never seem to please you long term. But if you really think it's the silicone you can always get a cuddle baby with a vinyl head. I think I prefer the cuddle babies that have vinyl hands and feet as well as a vinyl head. The cuddle body does seem to have the advantage of being more realistic when it comes to holding and positioning it for photos. As I mentioned I just received my first full body silicone and the first thing I noticed was how heavy he is. He has some advantages like his body moves more like a real baby but not as good as a cuddle body but better than a vinyl baby. Which helps in the realism. I can't wait to see if you adopt a new little one at the next doll show. Stay safe and keep smiling ☺️ .
So cute I felt like that in the same way was one of my newborns her name is Cheryl River but I love her so much and if I were to give her another up I would have felt very guilty and we still have her
You have to do what's right for you Caroline. not everyone likes silicone and the same goes the other way round with vinyl. It's the joy of having them we all have different tastes in what we like.
@@carolinerebornknight I have a couple of partial silicones I made myself and although I like to look at them occasionally I very rarely interact with them. I prefer my vinyl reborns
That problem with silicone is the only way to seal and Matt them is to apply a layer of silicone and apply matting powder to it whilst wet however it’s extremely difficult to get them completely Matt even through that process so a lot end up with those run like shiny appearances on them unfortunately it’s also why the paint itself isn’t that smooth as again it is made of silicone and pigment if only they found a way for you to paint them as smooth as vinyl xx
I think his painting is the problem. My first silicone baby was painted badly and it was heartbreaking. I’m trying to work my nerve up to paint silicone fingers crossed. I love the Reggie bodies. But I do know how you feel. xx
Oh he is sweet but silicone is not for everyone ❤ at least you can’t say that you didn’t try Caroline ❤ I had a partial silicone early on in my reborn journey but she turned up to me damaged so that put me off of them 😂😂😂 take care ❤❤
He's a cute baby he looks adorable in that outfit but when you put the camera close to his face you could see the shiny something went wrong when they were making him sorry ❤❤❤
Oh no I absolutely adore him❤️I will also going to the doll Show in Peterborough my first show 🥹 so excited but very nervous I would love to meet up with h I’m Normally a silent watched but really want to start talking to more people on here as I just love this little community if anyone else is going to the show ide love to meet up with you all 🤍 xx
He is cute, but I’m not surprised that he is not staying in your nursery. You already have James, who is a similar size and I’m not a lover of silicone myself. I think you would have focused on that shine on his face and you wouldn’t have liked it. ( just my thoughts) x
Oh sweetie I'm so sorry! I hear from others a lot of negativity but all silicones can be different! I love my babies❤Part of it could be he doesn't have a silicone body or limbs and I have to agree his painting could be better... Maybe sometime give another a chance.... We as collectors of all dolls do know what we want and like...congratulations he's sweet,love that set on him. I do see what your talking about none of mine have that... Hugsxxxx and love Nana ❤️ 😍 💖
Sorry it didn’t work out.I love when other collectors show their silicone babies, but I really don’t want the worry or the maintenance. Hugs to everyone.🫂💜🦋

Yes it was a good experience 😁 I am lucky to have had an opportunity to care for a silicone. It definitely is not for me
He does look sweet in his outfit.
He is gorgeous specially on camera, I only have one partial silicone myself, due to liking my vinyl reborn toddlers more

Aw such a shame 😢but im sure you will snatch up a new little one very soon 😊 looking at him it seems he hasn't been matted properly
❤️

Awwww that it lovely 😍

Exactly 👏👏 I am so glad I had the opportunity to atleast have him and put that wondering to bed

Thanks Amy for sharing your knowledge 😻😻
@@carolinerebornknight awww of course cx
He is absolutely adorable
I agree I don't hold anything against silicones babies but they aren't for me either ! I will stick to reborns

I thought you might not keep him. You never know until you try! I am selling my prem size reborns because I realised I don’t like the small size.
Oh no I absolutely adore him❤️I will also going to the doll

Why not try a different head in vinyl if you like the feel of the cuddle body. Just a thought. Xx
He’s adorable ❤❤❤ Sorry it didn’t work out❤❤❤❤
Oh well - I am lucky to have had the opportunity to experience this other medium
I knew he wouldn’t. He’s a sleeper and you don’t like sleepers. I don’t like partial silicones personally.

I would love him. ❤❤❤❤

Cute baby 😍
He is a cutie 🥰

I new he would not be in the nursery long 😊. He does seem very cuddly . But I new he was not for you . Xxx
He is cuddly. He is nicely weighted. The cuddle body is amazing. And I am grateful I could experience this
Sorry it didn’t work out.I love when other collectors show their silicone babies, but I really don’t want the worry or the maintenance. Hugs to everyone.🫂💜🦋
Likewise Ann. I do enjoy seeing other people's but for me - no
If he needs another mummy . I would be interested .. maybe keep him a while .. sometimes it takes time x
Hes cute with clothes on lovely face l
I love him but that shiny bit is really disappointing
