So what is the difference between Realborns and Sculpts? Realborn kits are created by doing an actual 3D scan of a real baby. The scan is then turned into a mold for kits to be created from. These kits are most often times readily available, but not always. Sometimes they will “retire” a kit making it harder to find. Realborns most often times come with a BB Realborn birth certificate, but not always. The artist painting the kit will sign the certificate once completed. 

Sculpts are just that, dolls that have been hand sculpted from clay by other artists. These sculpts are then created into a mold with only a limited quantity available for other artist to bring to life. Most often but not always they will come with a certificate of authenticity that is numbered and signed or sealed with the sculptors logo.
