Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for my doll?
If cared for properly, your Playborn will bring you many years of joy. Always handle your Playborn as you would a real baby. Cradle him or her carefully and support the head. The doll should never be carried by the arms or legs. The head and limbs can be carefully turned for posing but should never be forced. When handling your Playborn, always make sure you have clean dry hands. Avoid having the doll come into contact with dark fabric such as dark blankets or denim, as the dark dye can transfer onto the vinyl.
Your Playborn should be kept away from extreme hot and cold. Extreme heat can cause the vinyl to become warped and even melt. Keep your Playborn out of direct sunlight. Extreme cold could cause the vinyl to become brittle. Avoid moisture and never immerse your Playborn in water. To remove dust simply wipe him or her down with a dry cloth.
Your Playborn may come with a magnetic dummy/pacifier. These magnets are very powerful earth magnets. They should not be used near any electrical or computer equipment and they should never be used near someone who has a pacemaker as they can interfere with the device. These magnets should not be used by young children. If swallowed they can be extremely dangerous.
Your Playborn is weighted with fine, round glass beads or poly pellets. These can pose a danger to children if swallowed or inhaled. For this reason, a Playborn should only be handled by a child under strict adult supervision. If a limb or the head does become unattached from the body, please contact us for instructions.
No. At this time we do not offer any custom orders or pre-orders for upcoming dolls. All dolls are first-come, first served every week. Thank you for understanding :)
Since we don't take pre-orders, we suggest you keep an eye on our website and/or social media to see if we have the doll you want in stock :) Each week we post a variety of different kits, all uniquely painted and handmade. You can always email us to ask if a certain kit is coming up or will be in stock soon!

Full Vinyl Dolls
If you've purchased a Full Vinyl doll from us (limbs, head, and body made of soft vinyl), thank you! Please note the limbs on these dolls can tend to pop off easily. Not to worry, that's totally normal! You can easily pop them back into their socket without damaging the vinyl.
