If you’re looking to make a purchase online, you have probably come across Bountiful Baby. Bountiful Baby is a renowned reborn retailer well known for their many reborn-related products, and especially their star product, the Realborn line. To help you determine the right product for you, I’ll tell you a little more about the Company, Bountiful Baby, and the product they are best known for – the Realborn.
Bountiful Baby: The Brand
Bountiful Baby is a realistic doll company based in Salt Lake City, Utah, that was launched in 2010.

Bountiful Baby trademarked the term Realborn, which is the name of their line of reborn babies. Bountiful Baby’s Realborn’s are created using state-of-the-art technology to produce their pre-production molds which results in a high level of detail. This technology allows them to recreate the appearance of real babies instead of using sculpts, which is how the Realborns get their expressive faces. Also, there is no polymer used when creating a Realborn baby.
Bountiful Baby Realborn kits provide you with the foundation for creating your own reborn. The kits usually come with full arms and legs. Some will come with varnishes that need to be removed before starting the reborning process, and others you can start right away. There is a wide selection to choose from, and you can read reviews from shoppers that have purchased the kit. On their website you can often view pictures of prototypes created by excellent reborn artists that show a variety of options.
What to expect when buying a RealBorn Kit from Bountiful Baby
Bountiful Baby kits are made of quality materials and have been tested to meet USA CPSIA requirements and meet the more stringent European Standard EN71. Kits will vary in length and head circumference. You will also receive a certificate of authenticity, which is always a beautiful keepsake. The body and eyes are sold separately, and you have a selection to choose from. For example, you can select deep blue or brown for the eyes, and for the body, you can select a 19” biracial body or a 23” gathered body. Numerous supplies can be purchased in addition to a Realborn kit that will help bring your dream and vision to life such as eyelashes, hair, and detailed body plates.
