Clyde

Lil’ man Clyde is a wide awake newborn I created from the Realborn Clyde Awake kit. He’s just a sweet, small armful of baby love!

I use air dry paints on my babies. Clyde’s wavy hair is fashioned to resemble 3D hair, in varying tones of brown. His dramatic, dark brown Eyeco polyglass eyes are framed by soft lashes. Clyde has multiple coats of sealer and matte varnish, and his nails, lips and nostrils are subtly glazed for shine.

His cloth body is stuffed with high quality cottony-feeling fill, with less of it in his chest area for more newborn floppiness. Clyde’s head is weighted to bobble forward. His legs are full length and his arms are 3/4 length. I did not stuff the upper cloth 1/4 of his arms, to keep him from being too broad in the shoulders, but I will include two zip ties and extra stuffing if you decide you want to stuff them yourself.

His arms are jointed at the shoulders, which really helps for posing.

Clyde has a minor boo boo which is reflected in his price: one of his fingernails has part of the white tip smudged off. It’s a flaw you have to look for, but it’s there.

This darling ethnic boy comes in the Carters outfit shown in pics, including hat and socks, plus his Santa sleeper. Clyde has a plush toy rattle, a flannel receiving blanket, a magnetized pacifier, his COA and a birth certificate. Note: in his video, Clyde is described as weighing 3.75 pounds, but this is an error: he weighs 3.25 pounds.

Please ask any questions before committing to purchase. No refunds of any payments (partial or full, deposit or final) are available. There are cats in my home. If you are allergic, please pass on Clyde.

Ordering Information:
Thank you for looking! Please be 18 years or older to purchase a reborn doll.

Reborn babies are hand-made collectible art dolls. They are intended for keeping and enjoyment by adults and are not intended for child’s play.

Keep the following care instructions in mind when deciding whether to purchase a reborn baby doll. You will receive a care sheet with these instructions with your doll.

• Handle with extra care. Reborns are more delicate than mass market, store bought dolls. Always be gentle. Never leave them unsupervised around children or pets.

• Do not wet your doll, except for an occasional light wipe of a very soft, lightly moistened cloth on the vinyl head or limbs. Avoid rubbing! Your skin has natural oils that can rub off on the vinyl, leaving it shiny. Be careful when dressing and undressing the doll, as too much friction can also result in unwanted shine. Always wash newly bought dark clothes or blankets twice before putting on the doll, as dye can stain the skin permanently. Putting a white layer of clothing underneath dark colors should prevent color transfer

• Avoid picking the baby up by the limbs or head. Always keep a supportive hand beneath the body and cradle the head. (Just like a real baby!) There are small pouches of tiny glass (and/or metal beads or poly pellets) placed throughout your baby for realistic weight, and should not be removed except under careful handling in a contained area free of pets or children. All internal filling and weighting materials (and a magnet, if included, as well as any pacifier and pacifier leash/clip) are potential choking hazards.

• Never leave your baby near a heat source, in a hot car or in prolonged sunlight. These things can warp or discolor. Likewise, do not store your baby in extreme cold. Don’t let too much dust accumulate on the doll; a few gentle strokes with a very soft makeup brush can be used to remove dust. A smoke-free environment will protect the doll from burns and lingering odors.

• Your reborn should never be stored in a plastic container or bag, as there are oils in the doll’s vinyl that could interact negatively with plastic. Always wrap your baby doll in plain white tissue paper and place in a cardboard box, if you need to store it.

• If your baby is modified to take a magnetic pacifier, there is a powerful magnet glued behind your reborn’s lips. A modified doll (and the modified magnetic pacifier) should never be near pacemakers or around phones/electronics. Importantly, supervision is necessary around children and pets to ensure any dislodged magnets are not ingested, as they can pose risk of serious internal injury.
