Good to know I’m not alone! The top of the head is cute but that duck mouth… 
I actually think the sculpt looks an awful lot like a Real Baby, not perfect, but has lots of character. I mulled it over and decided NOT to purchase because of the 1/4 limbs. Not a fan of that.
I think he looks very realistic. But I would have to switch out arms. I think he would take a bottle very well.
I wish this kit has full limbs!!!
I love this baby and Rosalie 
I have the twins too. They will be in my private collection. When I get my house life together after big girls party, I plan on taking more pictures. I love Chenza’s work. It is really hard to describe because it is not like other dolls. It’s like, I couldn’t decide if it was more dolly or more realistic but I think it is more realistic from the curves and movements on the legs and arms.
There are so many kits and artists, it’s okay to like whatever you Like. I just recently heard my work looks like still births and it did bother me but I just keep moving.

I usually love Chenza’s work as well! This one just isn’t for me, I guess. But that’s fine.
This baby is very clearly her style. And I can’t pinpoint what exactly makes it look like her style, but it absolutely does.

It definitely has her style of look. Even though it is a match to a real baby it also looks very much like a relative of all her other sculpts. I see that with artists. Like LLE and LTR babies all look related to each other to me. I agree that this baby’s mouth is good for bottle/paci/thumb. I think that is part of the reason she made his arms 1/4 so they can more easily be posed as a thumb sucker. Unfortunately, the lack of clothing options with the 1/4 arms makes him a turn off for many of us. The kit just cost too much for me to spend on a 1/4 arm baby that I may well want to change the arms out on.

I wish she would offer more options on the arms. I agree on the cost being to much to have to buy different arms. I see so many of the older kits that I love but pass because of this. I will settle for 3/4 arms but full legs is a must for me.

We put everything we have into our art and it is hurtful when people say ugly things. I remember someone calling my dolls creepy. It really made me feel bad at that time, but years later I do not care… not any more than all the people who are ready to buy them do.

I think we’ve all been recipients of the ‘creepy ’ word.
I actually consider it a compliment. If someone were to look at my dolls and say ‘that’s a nice doll, some child will like that’. My response would be ‘doll? It’s not supposed to look like a doll’.
But when someone says ‘that’s really creepy’. My response ‘ thank you, this doll looks so realistic that it creeps you out. I’ve done my job well, thanks for the compliment. ‘
It’s all perspective.

The first time someone said that to me was 6 years ago when I first started painting. Here I was all happy and proud, so hearing this for the first time was shocking. Coming from people in my life, it was extra hurtful. I chatted about it here and was told that it’s common to hear all kinds of crazy stuff, so since them I don’t care. Delete or ignore and share with people who can appreciate them.
