Pros: Realistic baby dolls.

| maryed93's Full Review: Precious Petals Flower Themed Baby Doll Collection |
I began collecting the Ashton Drake So Truly Real dolls for my daughter two years ago. I found that out of most of the dolls we have seen on the market these are the nicest. The price is a bit high so I wouldn't recommend these dolls for young girls.
These babies are designed to resemble real babies and they honestly do look similar. They have the little creases just like babies have. Some of them are even anatomically correct! The Precious Petals Flower Baby Doll Collection is no exception to the quality of Ashton Drake. We only have one in this Precious Petals collections so far, not sure if we will be getting more as she is getting older and doesn't really play with them anymore. The doll she has from the collection is adorable and she actually had someone mistake it for a real baby from a distance. The material they use to create the skin feels so soft, not hard and plastic like most dolls. They are heavier too so they feel more realistic when you hold them.
These dolls are not just for children, in fact some are advertised as collectors and not for play but I figured if I was paying that much for a doll my daughter was going to be able to play with it. They have all held up just fine and as long as you save their original outfit and paperwork that comes with the doll they hold their value. Many people are buying these dolls to recreate into reborns, which is a doll that really looks like a live baby.
The only thing that I am not crazy about is the hair on some of them. It is glued on instead of micro-rooted, not all of them but a select few are done this way. This means you need to be careful when washing baby up, I wouldn't allow my daughter to wash their hair. Also you can't find these dolls in stores so we had to order ours off the Internet, it kind of stinks that you can't see and hold what you are actually purchasing.
