Middleton Artist Studio Collection™ features beautiful limited edition, hand numbered dolls. Each of these baby dolls begins with a face, hands and feet that are sculpted by talented doll artists. They are then reproduced in vinyl many dolls are made of Middleton's own quality "Baby Skin" vinyl. Each of these collectible dolls is hand painted, lashed and reproduced with the same delicate care they were sculpted with. Adding to their life like appearance, they are made to feel like a real baby, weighted and jointed in all the right places to give them that newborn feeling.
Each doll is know by their limited sculpt (face) and series. A certificate of authenticity sets the Artist Studio Collection™ apart from all the others. You'll see why these baby dolls are treasured collectibles that will become priceless heirlooms for years to come.
Middleton artist dolls are designed for adult collectors, and have not been tested to meet the child safety standards for young children. The overall structure is not harmful for children, but less durable and dolls usually have many small delicate embellishments that could be a choking hazard for small children. Thus they bear the label 'Not a toy, for artful display'.
Note: The majority the dolls have soft bodies a few are full vinyl. The best way to determine the characteristic of the arms, legs and body is by viewing the outfit the doll wears. For the arms, if the sleeves are short showing the arms the arms are 3/4 to full vinyl- if the outfit covers the arm it is probably a soft arm with 1/4 vinyl hands or f the belly is showing the doll may be full vinyl. Be sure to read the descriptions. Newborns and infants styles the same applies for the legs. All Toddlers have full vinyl legs for standing.
