I can’t review the PRODUCT without adding the seller in this case as the two are connected, and I only make honest reviews so please expect a candid and REAL review here. We have TWO IVITA babies (girl and boy) and quite simply, we LOVE THEM! Now to the details. Our 1st IVITA baby was a limited pour AA “Fairy” sculpt 1 of 3 which is now canceled. Her Caucasian sculpt “Fairy Sculpt” is still available and is very cute. We have had her almost 3 years come December 2019. She has NOT ripped, cracked, broken down, or any of the nasty rumored things I see on YouTube or read online. We even dress and take ours on outings regularly as both babies are therapy babies for my child. Buyer be aware however, IVITA silicones are NOT the same quality as the 3 and 4K silicones and should not be expected to be so. Staying honest, some of IVITA company babies are CUTER than the ones in the thousands sold online. IVITA babies are in essence BLANK SILICONE MOLDS and are VERY customizable. I have had much fun and practice modifying mine. I even made BOTH drink and wet and gave them fingernails. One, the girl, I gave a full head of rooted hair. The nitty gritty: YES! Some of the old sculpts have been proven as stolen or “copied” molds of known artists work. We did not know this FOR SURE at time of purchasing. We don’t go on rumor alone. Some know and buy because that issue is above them. Please don’t judge them. What YOU buy is your business and you owe no one an explanation. Moving forward, after my own research, yes I have to say some of the babies are from other artists sculpts. However , I am NOT PAID by IVITA but in TRUTH ONLY, I will say IVITA is NOT the ones stealing the sculpts. I have found over Seven Asian companies, and One Russian company selling these babies on Amazon and EBay, so it’s clear molds are bought somewhere in China and reproduced. Could the companies do more research to ensure they’re not buying stolen sculpts yes, but it is what it is. You aren’t responsible for what you don’t know. The good in all of it: IVITA does NOT use full tin Silicone. I found the silicone to be a mix but not with tin. The old sculpts pre- and early 2016 maybe, but post 2017, for sure no. How am I sure? Painting and modifying.Tin silicone responds differently and can’t be modified certain ways. Also Tin silicone cannot be held to human skin without causing a harmful reaction. Again we have had our first IVITA baby three years and she’s well played with and bathed once a month. NO issues and my daughter has allergies to materials so I am speaking from personal TRIED and True experiences. The years and maybe even money have made IVITA better than our first purchase. The sculpts are softer, well made, less Tacky and more realistic. They bathe well, have no chemical scent after a decent Dawn soap and Baby Soap bath, and are excellent starter silicones as stated before. I DO NOT support sculpt stealing. So as long as I’m sure one we want in the future is NOT one, I’ll DEFINITELY purchase another. We are looking at a twin for the big boy “Peter” we purchased. In closing, reviewing the PETER SCULPT, he’s AWESOME! He’s heavy like a four or five month old baby would feel. More 12lbs than 11. He wears 0-3 months onesies and bodysuits and pants, but outfits can range from 0-3months & 0-6months US sizes. He fools everyone! They think my daughter is toting her sibling. His features and eyes are so real like a real baby and his feel is spot on. IVITA babies DO come with this weird red paint stuff I’m assuming it’s them adding detail. Simply wash it with a semi-coarse light colored washcloth (Dollar Tree) using any DAWN dish soap and very warm water mixed. Wash twice very throughly. Don’t rush. That’s when scratches and tears can happen. Then use a MILD baby soap of your choice. Johnsons baby soap is nice, but we mainly use DOLLAR TREE Angel of Mine(no promotion) baby soap. It’s not strong smelling but works great! The Sesame Street brand they have works, but the scent is stronger. We powder with the Angel of Mine CORNSTARCH powder. Talc powder is dangerous to humans And not good for ANY silicone. I know this review was lengthy but it was real. IF you have ever wanted a silicone but like many people don’t have thousands to just throw away on a doll, IVITA is a wonderful go-to for the experience and training if you want to give your baby a more realistic look as we and many other IVITA baby owners have, or be an artist in the future. USE SMOOTH-ON Psycho-Paints or Smooth-on SIL-Pig for painting, mottling, and customization. For tear repair I.e., if you modify the eyes(we changed ours),open the mouths, or separate toes, use Smooth-On SILPOXY GLUE. I’d love to add pictures but these are my daughters personal dolls and I don’t trust everyone’s energy. Please go to YouTube though, and type in IVITA PETER SCUPLT to see others loving on this beautiful sculpt. Happy Buying!Read full review
