I got an older reborn last month (which I ended up giving to my friend because she loved her so much) and I noticed the vinyl was differant, the detail in the vinyl was better too...Is it just me or has the vinyl in reborns today less quality? I would love to hear from those of you who have done reborning for a few years...I remember one gal said that before rooting came into being, ladies put a big hole in the head and thread hair thru that hole... I noticed with this older reborn that she did not have any veining or bluish coloring...was veining/blueish coloring a newer technique too?
