Little Sammie is adorable, but has some flaws and is offered at a much lower price. Please read carefully and view the photos, so that you can decide if these are issues you can live with. She is a final sale- returns not accepted.
Sammie was created from the Sam sculpt by Marissa May. My kit arrived flawed, there was a dark mark at her lip line and what looked like ink on the back of her leg that would not come off. I decided to use the kit to try some new techniques and products. While I was able to work around the flaws, they are still there. I turned the ink mark into a little scab and the dark mark at her lip line looks sort of like a mole. I would not normally put a mole on a baby by the lips, so I did try to minimize it. There also were a few rough spots in the vinyl and a few spots that did not want to take paint well. This is not especially noticeable, but I wanted to mention it anyway.
Sammie was painted with paint produced specifically for reborns that was imported from Australia. She has a peaches and cream skin tone with a little more mottling than is typical with that coloring. She has medium brown painted hair, delicate brows painted one stroke at a time and rooted lashes that have been sealed inside. She has veining and a medium to give a moist effect inside her nose, inner ear, and corners of her eyes. Her nails have tips and shading details and were sealed. Her lips have a subtle gloss added to look a little wet and a little extra gloss was added inside her open mouth. She has blushing in all the right places and shading of thin skin and creases. She has a varnish over her paint that left a slight texture not sandpaper feeling, but I prefer smooth so to me this is also a flaw. Overall, I consider her a boo boo baby.
She is newborn sized weighing about 4 and half pounds and 19” long. She was weighted with fine glass beads and premium poly-fill. She will need her head supported and careful handling just like a real baby. Although the Sam kit has ¾ limbs, I put her on a body for full legs because her legs are long enough and you have so many more clothing options. I have included a photo so that you can see how it looks. She has a strong magnet for a pacifier inside, so use caution around sensitive electronic devices especially pacemakers. Sammie is an art doll that was not created for nor safe for children. She is not meant for play. Sammie will come home with: Sleeper Diaper Magnetic Pacifier Receiving Blanket (not pictured) Art Studio Birth Certificate Care Instructions All other items are props for photos and are not included.
