Imani
Welcome Reborn baby Imani! I reborned her from the Imani kit of Bountiful Baby’s discontinued Kinby line. Kinby babies were a line of factory made dolls, made from scans of real babies, like Realborns, but made for ages 3+. A Kinby baby could be bought and sent for $144 + tax. They came in a nice box, wrapped in a soft kinby blanket, wearing socks, a diaper, and kinby onesie. Girls had a hair band. And they came with a magnetic pacifier. [I know because I got one for my daughter]. The head and limbs were filled with pollyfill, and the body was stuffed with and some “baby fat” pellets. They had minimal factory paint. Kinby babies have hair molded into their sculpt.
When they discontinued the line, they sold some sets of heads and limbs, on the bountiful baby supply site. So, I decided to reborn some. I consider Imani a “reborn playborn”. While, I wouldn’t recommend her for anyone under 5, she was painted with heat set paints, which have a bit of durability to gentle play. She is stuffed with plastic poly pellets and polyfill vs fine glass beads, so she is lighter. [and if they were ever to spill, they are easier to pick up and put back in.]. The blank kits that were sold, were not sold with COA’s-only their completed dolls, which is why she doesn’t have one].
Baby looks cute as a boy or girl. She is magnet free, and takes a modified pacifier. If someone wants a lower cost baby for themselves, you can always reweight her to your liking.
Since she is now a hand painted reborn, she still needs to be carefully handled. I’m not responsible for wear and tear to reborn or paint due to handling, or play.
Her painting technique is not perfect, so please be aware of this prior to purchase. But, I still think she is really cute! See photos, they are part of the description. She is listed at a lower cost because of this. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but darker skin tones are harder to paint and require a different technique. It doesn’t take away from her beauty, however. She is only the second AA baby I’ve painted, so I’m still working on my skill set. She doesn’t have any paint rubs, or missing paint.
She has full limbs for maximum poseability. She is approximately 17” with slightly bent legs. She weighs 2.52lbs. She wears size preemie. She is painted with many translucent layers that include veining, undertones, shading, blushing. There’s also glossing on her lips, in mouth, & in ears, nose, and on nails. After painting her molded hair, I added details along the front/side hairlines, and varnished with a slightly Satin varnish to make the color pop, and look more like real hair. She was painted with heat set paints, and a heat set matte varnish was used on her limbs and face. Her eyes are brown. She has applied lashes too. She has a textured varnish on her face to give the illusion of pores/real skin, and some on legs.
She has rings on her neck and legs for easy turning.
Her limbs and head are vinyl. [not silicone]. I photograph using natural light, in different settings, with my Cannon Rebel.

Ordering Information:
There may be tiny irregularities in vinyl or painting. Since this is a hand made work of art and not made in a factory this is normal. Any major flaws will be mentioned in the listing.
A Baby’s Journey Reborns/buyallthebabies photos MAY NOT BE USED WITHOUT PERMISSION. I retain the legal copyright to my photos even after the baby is sold. If you wish to re-sell the baby at a later date please use your own photos, or contact me before using my photos.
Please handle this doll carefully to avoid damage to the doll or injury to self. This doll may be heavy and therefore care is needed when lifting. Do not lift/hold the doll by the head or limbs. Be aware that the cable ties may have sharp edges. Occasionally, the magnet for the pacifier may come loose during shipping. If you slide the paci slowly on the face, near mouth, cheeks, chin, it should “catch”, then you can sit it on the mouth. The magnet is strong enough to stay in place, but you will have to repeat those steps to use, If that does happen. That is something that is out of my control, and only occasionally happens.
Please hold the doll as you would a real baby.
This doll is made from vinyl and therefore may naturally have a slight scent of vinyl. I personally have never have experienced it, but I can’t speak for everyone. This is disclosed, and not a valid reason for return.
Do not leave or store your doll in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or extreme cold. Do not leave doll around animals/pets.
Do not bathe or submerge your doll in water. If dusting or cleaning is needed, use a lightly damp cloth and brush doll gently. Do not rub. A dry, soft, clean paintbrush can be used to dust creases.
Excessive handling and dressing will cause wear and tear on your doll. Excessive handing/oils in skin may cause matte varnish to wear and cause shininess in the doll. Always wash hands before handling. Wash all clothes/blankets before using. Dye can transfer to vinyl and stain it. Be careful of any dark material you leave your doll on or near, especially denim-wash everything first.
Do not poke eyes or tug on lashes. [or any rooted hair/ if applicable].

Take care when dressing the doll in dark fabrics as dyes may transfer to the doll.

I only ship to the address on your PayPal account, so please make sure it is correct before purchasing. If I am required to refund you due to any issues related to shipping address discrepancies, PayPal fees will not be refunded, as they are not refunded to me.
You should wash all clothing/blankets prior to putting them on or near your reborn. Dark colors can transfer to the vinyl, as can denim. Excessive handling may cause shine or damage to your reborn. I will do my best to prewash clothing, and not use dark colors that have not been washed. Please wash all clothing you receive when your reborn arrives.

All fees associated with any purchase are non refundable including paypal, shipping, customs, duty taxes, or any other fees.
Pre-painted belly plates may not be an exact fit since every baby will be weighted and stuffed differently. I am not responsible for items that don’t fit/match your reborn. During the paint curing process, sometimes small hidden air bubbles in the vinyl plates cause small cracks on the back of the plates. This is fixed with a special vinyl putty, which is also heated to cure. It doesn’t affect the look of the painted side of belly plates. Avoid excessive bending of plates, to avoid cracking of vinyl.
Any duties or customs fees for international buyers, are the buyers responsible and not included in shipping costs.
By purchasing you agree to all terms and conditions.
Return Policy:
All sales final. No returns/no refunds/no exchanges/no cancellations/no chargebacks/no trades. No free holds. All items sold as-is. Please look at all photos to make sure this is the baby/item you want. All items are handmade, and thus may have minor imperfections-this is normal.
Custom bellyplates and torsos are usually made from photos of your reborn, and may not be an exact match/fit, since I don’t have the doll here in person, and didn’t paint it. While I do the absolute best I can, I can’t guarantee it will be perfect since I won’t have the doll/didn’t make doll. All customers accept and acknowledge this when ordering one. Can show pictures of my previous work. Pre-painted belly plates also may not be an exact fit since every baby will be weighted and stuffed differently. I am not responsible for items that don’t fit/match. Do not bend or fold belly or back plates-this may cause vinyl to develop cracks, mostly on the back side. [usually hidden air bubbles]. I’m not responsible for any cracking that may happen with use. Do not force the bellyplate into a difficult shape than it is molded. If a crack develops, use E6000 glue on it, to cover it, let dry 48 hours, this should keep it from further cracking. Minor cracking doesn’t affect function or look of plates as they happen mostly on underside.
**Reborns are not toys. Feel free to ask any questions and/or for additional photos prior to purchasing. Due to the nature of these handmade items, minor imperfections may be present and should be expected.
I am not responsible for any wear to the painting from handling, or improper care.
No returns/No Refunds/no exchanges/no chargebacks/No free holds. Should a return be necessary, and any refund be granted for any reason, a restocking fee of 20% will be assessed, since the baby is no longer considered “new” once it leaves my possession. All fees associated with any purchase are non refundable including paypal, shipping, customs, duty taxes, or any other fees.
Any duties or customs fees are the buyers responsible and not included in shipping costs.
