Real Touch Vinyl Baby Dolls
63
If you are a doll lover or a doll collector, the chances are very slight that you haven't read a doll description with the words "Real TouchTM Vinyl" before, but what exactly does this mean?
Real TouchTM Vinyl is a trademark that can be connected to Ashton Drake Baby Dolls. The Ashton Drake Galleries filed an application for a patent with the United States Patent Office for a process they use to fabricate baby dolls with remarkably realistic baby soft skin.
The Process
This process involves two plies of vinyl and silicone blended materials, creating a baby doll's skin that is supple and soft, looks, feels and sometimes even smells like a real baby's skin.
The Real TouchTM Vinyl process is seen as a major breakthrough in the world of doll manufacturing. These dolls have astounded many doll collectors with their realistic features and the touch of their soft skin.
So Truly Real Collections
The first ever doll to completely use the Real TouchTM Vinyl process was Ashton Drake's Baby Emily doll. That is why The Loving Emily Collection is also known as the first-ever So Truly Real® baby doll collection. This collection of baby dolls was created by one of the world's most distinguished doll artists, Linda Webb, who is known for her talent to create realism.
Except for the fact that a So Truly Real® doll's skin look and feel like a real baby, the specific blend of vinyl makes it possible to add some realistic folds and creases to the doll's arms, legs, hand and feet.
Once you seen, touched or held any one of these exclusive Ashton Drake dolls, meticulously created for Ashton Drake Galleries, you will really be amazed by the lifelike experience. You would also be sure to understand why these dolls with their Real TouchTM Vinyl skin are so highly in demand by collectors from all over the world.

hello my name is sabrina taylor i want to know if you can see me the doll and i pay the payment on it i see you a money order for shipping it to hollister nc my mailing adress is po box 642 hollister nc 27844 please.
I had Linda Webb's Ashton-Drake "Katie" doll for awhile, from September of 2007 to February of 2008. She was twin sister to "Charlie," Linda's very first anatomically correct collectible baby doll, as well as my very first and very last collectible baby doll. I bought "Katie" online because I wanted to start a doll hobby. Well, while I loved her realistic features and Real Touch vinyl skin (and I'm sad to say that this doll has also been discontinued and is no longer available for sale), I didn't realize she had a hole on the finger of one of her hands and a slit between two fingers on her other hand until 5 months after I had received her, and I'm pretty sure they were there when I got her because I was always careful with her and would never have injured her myself. Her 30-day warranty had already expired, so I was unable to replace her arms. I ended up donating her to a church thrift shop instead, even though I loved her very much and wanted to keep her. She just wasn't for me.
Next, I ordered the 22-inch, sleeping-eyed Lullaby Berenguer anatomically correct newborn baby girl doll, and kept her for only 6 months. She was my fault, though, because I gave her too many baths and allowed her to rot, so I had to throw her away because the mildew inside of her smelled bad and was making me sick.
My next doll was the 22-inch, open-eyed Sunshine Berenguer newborn baby girl doll. I had her for only 2-and-a-half months. Why? Well, again this was my fault: I accidently stained one of her legs with ink that I didn't know was still on my hands, and her other leg was permanently crushed and left out of shape when I had her placed in a tote bag with my Bible, the tote bag fell over, and my Bible landed on top of her leg. Her other leg was already replaced once, so I figured maybe I could go ahead and replace both legs. Wrong! The legs I ordered wouldn't fit, I couldn't get her old legs back on, and I had to throw her away and order another new doll.
The next doll I ordered wasn't anatomically correct, so I gave her to a little 3-year-old girl whose parents I am close friends with. Now, I have another 22-inch anatomically correct newborn baby girl doll that I also ordered online, and so far, she seems to be working out just fine. She's not an Ashton-Drake doll or a Berenguer, and she does have some minor gapping in her leg joints when they pushed out during shipping that needed to be fixed, but I still love her very much and hope she will last me at least ten years. I've had my current doll since February of this year, and this time, I'm being more careful and taking better care of her. Ashton-Drake dolls are cute to look at, but they're not for everyone, so choose your dolls carefully.
UPDATE: Since my last post, I've gotten rid of my 22-inch anatomically correct newborn baby girl doll, and I ordered the 21-inch Diana/Berjusa Original Newborn Baby and another 22-inch Sunshine Berenguer newborn baby, both of which are also anatomically correct with real girl features. My previous doll, which was the 22-inch Diana Collection New Baby, also an anatomically correct real girl, just didn't work out for me as I had hoped. The gapping of her leg/hip joints kept bothering me, so she eventually went to a new home. So, stay tuned! Maybe my twin girls will last me instead. Once again, don't buy a baby doll unless you know you are getting a good, high-quality product. Otherwise, you'll end up like me, still searching for that perfect baby doll until you finally decide to give up and move on to a different hobby.
I have been very disappointed in the quality of the Ashton Drake real touch vinyl dolls, My first Baby Emily, after having her amost 20 months her hands and feet turned black, then just the other nite I picked up the Hans Picture Perfect Baby and her left leg was just dangling, like someone had taken a knife and cut her leg. According to some people I have talked to they have had the same thing happen to them, I understand Ashton Drake chose a cheaper manufactor to make their dolls, some in China and the chemical they use can cause this problem. I will not be ordering anymore dolls from Ashton Drake.......
I got an Ashton-Crake doll name "Sleepy Iris" I have had her for awhile and she is just fine and her skin is so realistic! Nothing has turned black yet (and I hope it doesn't!) because she was quite expensive.
