About Us
Mission Statement
RDK is driven by two basic principals:
To provide our customers High Quality, Numbered, Limited Edition vinyl doll kits at the best price possible, and to provide artists an opportunity to produce their sculpts and receive the most competitive price for their works in the doll industry.
RDK is accomplishing this, by constantly improving Customer Service through technology, aggressively managing its production & distribution costs while providing the unique and quality vinyl doll kits reborn artists desire.
We bring sculpting artists and reborn artists together. Providing the sculpting artist an opportunity to have their work produced, and the reborn artist a fresh, new, product to reborn.
Some of the artists are well known, while others are newly discovered talented sculptors.

A few details you should know:
- We prefer to purchase sculpts outright without royalties. If royalties are part of our agreement, you must be patient for payment, as they are paid on a per kit sold basis. We generally accrue a substantial payment before paying out. Royalties are not paid in a lump sum when the kits arrive to the RDK warehouse, it takes time to collect from all customers and dealers.
- While we are producing a sculpt, we require that the artist does not sell their work to another vinyl kit company or that you are producing kits on your own. This is for the protection of the investment we are making in YOU and your SCULPT. (This does mean that you can sell your work to finished doll companies and on your own as a one-of-a-kind.)
- We feel it is best that an artist not have their work (vinyl doll kits) with more than one company, as it takes away from the exclusiveness of our product.
- When we purchase a sculpt, it does not mean that it will or will be sent immediately into production. The production timeline begins when we offer the sculpt to the public or our dealers. Generally it is a 60-90 day production schedule, but that is dependant upon the manufacturer and is beyond our control.
- We ask for your input and approval in the mold-making process. We provide one FREE prototype when available, and you may place it on the market first (within a reasonable time, if you notify us of this intent). The artist may enjoy up to 10 kits at the dealer discount. The artist may also become a dealer of the kits made from the sculpt (a separate Dealer Agreement is necessary).
Reborning RDK Prototypes
Prototypes available will be posted on our Home Page. If you are interested in the particular sculpt, please email us as soon as possible when it is posted. You must have provided us with photos of your previous work, and have been a reborn artist for at least one year. Other requirements include: In exchange for the prototype, you agree to reborn a sample prototype of the same for the RDK Reborn Shoppe. It is not required that you place it on a body, or dress it, only reborn and hair rooting. You may send along your business card and birth certificate for advertising purposes.
When you list your prototype on Ebay, or your website, you must post that it is a Reborn Doll Kits, Inc. vinyl doll kit, and the artist's and kit name. Provide photos of the reborn prototype and the auction or website link, and we will post it on the RDK Home Page. We will also post the photos in our Reborn Gallery!
