Mathew has been reborn from a limited edition La Grand sculpt by Melissa McCrory, there are only 250 of these dolls worldwide. He is made from soft vinyl and he has a specially made doe suede body with disc jointed limbs for very realistic poses. All pictures of Mathew were taken in natural day light and are in no way altered or enhanced.

*The Baby you see is the Baby you get*

Mathew has been created using Genesis heat set paints. This is permanent and non-fading. This process takes many hours of work but the results are amazing, Mathew has very true to life baby skin which has tiny veins in all the right places, no crease has been over looked. His nose has been opened and backed with felt so now he is a breathing baby.

Mathew has been realisticly weighted to give him that cuddley feel, he just moulds into your arms just like a real baby. Once you have picked him up you will find it hard to put him down! I have weighted him using safe babyfat and top quality fibrefill in his specially made body, his limbs are weighted with micro glass and topped with quality fibrefill and then securly sealed. His head will also need support just like a real baby as it is weighted with glass granules and quality fibrefill, this has also been securly sealed.

I have micro rooted Mathew's hair with top quality premium kid mohair from the US in a light brown colour using the finest gage rooting needle. This takes hours of work as the hair is rooted no more than two hairs at a time. His hair is directionally rooted with a natural crown making it easy to style. His hair has been sealed on the inside with a waterproof sealent as have his micro rooted eyelashes which were rooted using the same light brown mohair.

Mathew comes with a magnetic preemie pacifier which is made of very soft plastic and moulds to his face so he won't have that balancing on the face look with this paci. Please note that these magnets are very strong and should not be used near computers or people with pace makers etc. I can if you wish remove the magnet from Mathew if you prefer.

Mathew comes home to his new family with a laminated rebirth certificate and laminated care notes. His brand new layette consists of : Hand knitted baby blue matinee coat, matching hat, bib, booties, vest, babygro, jacket, trousers and socks. Cuddley fleece blanket, nappy and preemie pacifier. I hope you have enjoyed looking at baby Mathew and if you decide to bid I wish you luck and hope his new Mummy and Daddy love him as much as I do Mathew is not a childs toy but a collectors item and should be treated as such.
