Oh my goodness i love her! You know what Julie? You gave me the confidence to purchace a pre painted unassembled replica from aliexpress. Your videos, especially videos featuring Esme, gave me the confidence to assemble my twin girls, Estella and Giselle (the August sculpts). Thank you for all your input and advice ❤
I must say for a replica Maddie she’s looking a lot better than some of the authentic Maddie’s . Eyebrows are outstanding and her hair is beautifully done . I love her skin tone as well . Can’t wait to see what she looks like when she’s brought back to life 😊🥰
That dark skin, matching big brown eyes (even if they aren't acrylic!) and very nice hair! I honestly believe she is the most gorgeous Maddie I've ever seen, even counting the "authentic" (I call them home made) dolls. To me, the only differences between authentic and replica is where and how fast the artists work. Her eyebrows are TOTALLY amazing! Her quality may be a little less than authentic, but for her price, she is WAAAAAY worth it. A home artist puts the price so high that no doll is worth the money. NONE of them, in my opinion. I have a few babies that I'm regretting buying because of how much I paid. I would be ashamed to sell them for even half, because they are not worth it. I've seen so many authentic Maddies. Their mommies had to buy her bald to save money, and I don't like her bald at all, but I LOVE yours!!!🥰
Some glues soften or dissolve with a little rubbing alcohol. Even the E6000 will dissolve. I had a doll that was 2 years old, and had too much overflow of glue on her eye, and it came off easily with rubbing alcohol. Love Maddie, and I do have one! I forget what I paid for her. She is quite a delight. 😃
Hi Julie. Babygirl is beautiful. And a good price. Love her eyes. Cannot wait, you have made her as your liking. I have seen much more worse Maddie sculpts. ❤❤❤have a blessed day Julie 😊
Sis I love her❤. That is the beauty of this hobby. Like our sister Springflower says ' Dolls your way' . For me I see boy. I love these style baby dolls because you don't have to worry messing up an expensive doll. My nursery is Dad's Basecamp Nursery. My boys like to get rough. Boys will be boys. Great video. I might go back back to adding these type dolls. I regret having to adopt out all my other boys. At the time I did what I had to do. I still love my PG and Adora Babies. But I like diversity. Love you sis and all my dolly family.
Hi Julie: Wow!! The company who made her did a good job on her. Would have loved to see some blushing and mottling on her. She is very sweet, though. Congratulations!!
She's adorable! I luv these kinds of dolls because i like making the little changes to make them "mine" and it helps me to bond with them. The Maddie i got off AliExpress was unfortunately the tiny version. Oh sorry i fainted there for a moment! Im glad i fainted on the bed and that u were there to bring me back around. 😂
I dont know if u have heard of this little trick or not but while u have her unassembled if u take some super glue (i prefer the gel kind) and brush a layer on all the limbs and head in the channel where the zip ties go and make sure it has plenty of time to dry. Then after u assemble, even if u weight the limbs u can do the zip ties tight and they will still move freely!
I used to spent on auth for more than $80k before. I was so regret and wished I would know about high quality repliacas earlier so I could save a lot. I have bought more than 7 sacks from a company called kislux and really cannot distinguish the differences between them. I even sold some of my auth ones and buy more dup from them
Mine arrived today and one of the first thing my Mama said was, she is dark, both of us are olive skinned so this is really cool. I know nothing of replicas yet.. Just looked at mine, she has blushing? I believe. Color on her face and hands and I saw veins I believe also. Maybe they forgot to do yours or they are improving?
I just ordered her she came today im on the fence about her or i might send her back i have "5" real reborns custom made..so this is my 1 st knick off u guess i want to reassemble her body
She is adorable! ❤ I think I’m going to purchase my first replica as a Christmas present for myself. Which do you think is better? Amazon or Temu? I’m looking for about a 25-26 inch size like your Esmee.
The ethnic replicas are always a little disappointing on details. It is absent or the wrong color for the skin tone. Some vendors are improving though.

I agree! I can’t afford a “real “ reborn doll. I also prefer the looks and quality of the store bought dolls!
I’m impressed with the rooting for a manufactured doll Julie, very nice. Hugs to everyone 🫂💜🦋
I like the NPK dolls because I have one and he was beautifully done as well.

I was surprised how nice these eyes are so I left them! Congratulations Julie!
Thank you so much! My Sister ❤😊xoxo
There is a red head maddo that I love on Amazon,I want to get someday💕👶🏼❣️
She is a cutie ! I can see what you mean about the blushing needed. 😊😊😊

Saved saved saved!! What an amazing tip!!

❤️❤️ She's beautiful even without all of the details. NPK is the way to go though from personal experience of these dolls

Just looked at mine, she has blushing? I believe. Color on her face and hands and I saw veins I believe also. Maybe they forgot to do yours or they are improving?
Nice
What a cutie patootie!
Try heating the head to loosen the glue.. use a heated rice sock
I just ordered her she came today im on the fence about her or i might send her back i have "5" real reborns custom made..so this is my 1 st knick off u guess i want to reassemble her body
Some of the listing will say 50 cm or 60 cm. I avoid those because I feel like you may not get the larger onenwnen when that is what you requested.
I think she's absolutely beautiful Julie ❤❤❤
She is adorable! ❤ I think I’m going to purchase my first replica as a Christmas present for myself. Which do you think is better? Amazon or Temu? I’m looking for about a 25-26 inch size like your Esmee.
Look for NPK dolls they seem to be the BEST!!!!❤😊
I have three maddies ,1 authentic 2 replicas i love them equally
She’s a cutie …as for her eyes…fill her head with warm soapy water and let it soak ….the glues they use tend to be water soluble…xxx
Thanks for the advice Beautiful Friend xoxo❤
I forgot like her eyes
Hello lovie, ❤❤😊😊😊
Hello 😊 xo
TEMU has two sizes of maddys…50cm and 60cm….you friend must’ve gotten the 50cm one.
