Is this a real reborn doll?

No. It is a mass-produced plastic doll styled to look like a reborn baby. Artist reborns are hand-painted, weighted and rooted, and cost far more.

It measures 48 cm, roughly newborn-baby length. That makes it bigger than typical fashion dolls and easy to cradle.

Plastic, finished to look like silicone vinyl. The body is hollow rather than weighted, so it feels light.

Can a young child play with it?

It is listed for ages 3 and up. The painted hair and facial details are better suited to careful older children than rough play.

No. The hair is painted on, which is common at this level. Rooted hair is a feature of higher-end reborns.

For a casual collector or a first reborn, yes. Serious collectors will notice the plastic body and painted hair next to artist dolls.
