Painting takes 8–15 hours over multiple sessions (each layer needs to cure). Hair rooting is the longest single step (10–30 hours). Basic assembly takes 2–4 hours. It's a craft of patience, not a single afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n    \u003cdetails class=\"rb-faq-item\"\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow much do reborn doll kits cost?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cdiv class=\"rb-faq-answer\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur reborn doll kits range from around $40 for beginner-friendly small kits to $200 for premium full-body silicone kits with advanced sculpts.
