@whorecake

This is Bongo! He was made by Olena Batii on Tedsby. He looks like a teddy bear at a glance but he’s actually a bear doll. He has a plastic armature inside that allows him to photograph like a lifelike animal.

Here he is, watching the cars pass outside, his little Teddy friend momentarily forgotten!

Got my first (non artist cuz of some stuff imma explain) reborn doll!

You know those like minni toys you can get at Walmart and it in a ball?

That basically what she is!

My mom got it for me

I think her name gonna be either Dolly or Daisy

Oh, she's really cute!!! So tiny. <3 I'm happy for you!!

Though I feel I should probably explain that this probably would not fall under the definition of being a "reborn" doll, since "reborn" is usually a doll that has been repainted or rerooted if it was already painted or already had hair OR it's usually a doll whose blank parts became painted or rooted by an individual person. If you do anything to alter the doll though, she would definitely become a Reborn. :)

I made art… of my artist made teddy bear, Bongo! I couldn’t figure out how to do the frosted look on his ears or around his paw pads… lol

Purchase Link: "Clown Baby Rattle" sold by OurJunkTrunk

I've been wanting this collection of baby stuff for my Reborns for a while. This is from the line of products produced in the early 90's with rights to a cast of baby clown characters from the universe of Larry Harmon's Bozo the Clown.

Adoption Link: Found A Blank Copy of Tumbles the Clown by Kelly ReBurt

I've always liked how Tumbles reminds me of some older clown dolls from the 80's and 90's because of how it's sculpted.

Adoption Link: "NOS 90s Vintage KellyToy Plush Elephant" sold by MyOldTimeyBaby

Not an art doll but my goodness, I love him!!! I actually didn't even need the title to tell me about the nostalgic feel this guy gave me! This is a sample of what toys could be like when I was a kid. ^_^

"Cinnabon" by Olena Batii

Olena is probably my favorite bear artist. <3 She does the realism quite well for the price, I think, plus, her bears like this are VERY posable for photos and they hold those posts. I would know! I have one. :3

"Kumimi" by Olena Batii! But I call him Bongo. :)

[bongo-the-circus-bear]

"Edward" by Valentyna Chernii

I love mohair on dolls and other art toys as well and it really makes this little guy look so cute!!! <3 I love that he's rocking a vintage style swimsuit, too!

"Jury" by Carla Carlotta Carlotta

This guy would be almost PERFECT, I think, to be Bongo's teddy bear. ;o; A few of the small touches are a bit too modern looking for the part but he's very cute and very on theme. Have I mentioned I love the look of viscose for stuffed animals?
