Description

She was a baby doll that was filled with some type of gel, so that when you held her she felt heavy, like a real baby. I think she weighed about 2 pounds.

The doll also had hard plastic inside that felt like bones. The head had a soft spot just like an newborn infant would.

i am afraid that is not a baby feel so real; they had hair! perhaps this is a knock off of some sort?
Beth - August 20, 2007 - Report this comment
Actually, i don't think they had hair. The one i had looked just like the one above.

When I was growing up I had a baby feel so real in the early eighties. She had short blonde hair and was filled with gel. I remember I left her out in the sun and she popped!!! The goo came out. The doll pic above is not the one I remember.

My Baby Feels So Real had short blond hair as well, and looked nothing like the doll above. She also smelled like baby powder. Maybe the pic above was of a later version? I don't remember my doll having a soft spot or a plastic frame inside -- she was just all gel and really heavy, so if you flung her at someone, it totally hurt. After I stopped playing with her, she ended up at the bottom of my closet and when I pulled her out years later, she was all deformed because the gel had solidified over the years.

I had the bald one pictured above too....I always wanted to get it x-rayed to see what it looked like inside because the "bones" felt so real(ended up giving it to the little doll-less girl that lived down the road from me)

My baby-feel-so-real had short blonde hair, was heavy and full of gel, did not have a soft spot or bones (creepy), but would get deformed if you left her is a strang position for too long. I wonder which "model" came out first. I'm guessing two different companies had their own version. Would love to see a picture of the one I had.

I'm gonna echo Victoria.....My Baby Feels So Real had short blond hair as well, and looked nothing like the doll above. She also smelled like baby powder. (I remember that!! My mom used to tell me she had baby powder for brains!) Nope... no skeleton. On a winter trip to Grandma's, she ended up riding in the trunk (thanks, Dad).... so not only did I cry for 2 hours, but when he finally pulled over & got the doll- she had *GASP* frozen solid & was squished & deformed..... I was horrified!!!!

My baby feel so real was the earlier version w/the gel inside. Somehow she got "cut" and started leaking carmel like gel. I must have been 4 years old, I cried so hard my mom had to run and get me a new one! I'm going to check e-bay to try and find one for my little girls.

My original Baby Feels So Real is bald-headed. She has her original diaper shirt, flannel diaper and headband. I just can't figure out if the shoes and socks are original or if she was barefoot? Anyone know for sure? Someone has one for sale on e-Bay (w/o original anything)and the bidding is over $100 so far.

The doll my daughter has is still her favorite one. The gel inside the doll was cornsyrup. Does anyone have the instructions that came with the Baby Feels So Real doll? Mine got lost in a move and I need to know how to reliquify the cornsyrup without damaging the doll. The instructions that came with it told you how. If you have them please post on this site. I don't have internet but I do check back on the site from time to time. I tried to get instructions from the toy companies in the past but I could not remember which one had produced the doll and none of them responded. I have since found out that Tyco made the doll but they are no longer a separate company. So if you have the instruction I would really appreciate them.

I had one of these babies when I was little. It was my favorite and it was one of the newer ones that was made in the 90's. I would like to get one since I no longer have mine. I think we should hunt down the creator and make them to make these dolls again!

I had one of these dolls as well. It had straight blonde hair. I don't remember any "bones". My friend had one exactly like mine, and she stabbed hers on the back with a fork so we could see the gel inside! I remember hating that it would flatten on the back when left for too long, and it did look quite deformed and creepy. I was never a big fan of the doll, just because it was too weird, I could never get very attached to it as a favorite. I always thought it was kinda ugly, too.

I remember this doll. I was looking for the name of the doll because i had bought one for my little sister in the early 90's. the one i bought had the bones in it i thought it was the neatest thing. now that i know i can try and buy my daughter one well.... heck i want to buy one for me I love dolls. This one to me was so unusual perhaps that is what drew me to it. My little sister never did care for that doll much but i did.
Chelsea - September 23, 2008 - Report this comment
I had this doll! Her name was Zeeza. I think I still have her somewhere. She was AMAZING. I loved her, carried her till I was in middle school even. I got real baby hand-me-downs from my mom's friends, so Zeeza had a 1000 outfits, bibs, bottles, diaper bags, cribs, etc. When I was in high school, she got injured, though -- my parrot bit her hand, and her gel started oozing out, so we superglued her hand and wrapped a bandaid around it. And still she sits on my dresser at my parents' house, in her Christening gown and bandaided hand. I never played with Barbies, but Baby Feel So Real was my life!!!
Chelsea - September 23, 2008 - Report this comment
BTW, mine was probably from the early 90s, and she was little, heavy, bald, she came with gel and bones and the soft spot. I also had a water baby that you had to fill with water and was heavy, and she had hair, but she wasn't Zeeza. The bald infant was the Baby Feel So Real that I knew and loved.

I had a baby feel so real when I was a little girl. My papaw had bought it for me for Christmas one year. Now he has passed. Since then I have been looking for another baby feel so real, but haven't had any luck. If anyone knows where I could find a doll like it. Please post it on this site.

I think everyone's descriptions of their Baby Feels So Real dolls are correct - there were different versions, and in 1991, I think she was bald and had the "bones" and soft spot. I had mine in the 80's - the one with the gel. She's get real soft and mushy in the heat, and hard-as-a-rock in the cold. Remember the song from teh commercial? "Baby Feels So Real, feels just right...not too heavy, not too light. Baby Feel So Real." Wish I still had mine or I could find one online.

Hey guys it me again. I wrote a comment on the baby feel so real not to long ago. I am the fourth one up from the bottom of the page. I just wanted you guys to know. I just bought two baby feel so real off of ebay about 2 weeks ago. One is white and one is black. So they are out their for the ones that love the doll as much as I do. I wanted to share it with you so that you all will know where to look for one. I haven't received mine in the mail yet, but I can't wait until I do. It just goes to show that if you look for something long enough then eventually it might just pay off. I wanted to thank you guys for having this site on the web for everyone to share their comments and feelings. It has been wonderful for me and helpful too. After all I found what I was looking for.

I had one for a fleeting moment:( It was my worst Christmas EVER! I opened it up one Christmas morning and went to take her out of the box only to find that there must have been some sort of mishap at the factory because the entire back of her head and hair were covered in glue:( My mom promised to return her for a new one but they were all sold out and my mom decided it wouldn't be a big deal to just by a different doll. I never did get my new baby feels so real. I'll never forget how close I was to having one. I am 32 yrs old right now with two REAL children. But that little girl in me will always want that doll. It's sad they stopped production on them because they sound like they just haven't held up against the test of time. I would love it if they made the dolls again. It sounds like you all wish for the same. Just this time maybe they could make the dolls a little more durable. Until then, she will always be on my Christmas wish list! Merry Christmas everybody:) Keep wishing, maybe one day she'll return!

I had one in the late 70's or early 80's. My mom kept her hidden in the trunk until Christmas Eve so when I woke up Christmas morning there she was under the tree frozen solid. I never really like her much, she was too heavy and weird. Her legs always had creases and bends in them and it was hard to dress her. I preferred dolls that were softer and lighter like rag dolls.

My mom is an x-ray tech and I used to carry this doll around with me everywhere. One day, my mom decided that she wanted to x-ray it to see what it was filled with. There were definitely all sorts of nuts and bolts and washers inside my doll. When the doll finally had all the wear it could take, this white, almost glue-looking gel leaked out from it. Wish I could find one now.

I had a baby feels so real about 13 years ago, however it seems to be different to what everyone else is talking about.

My daughter has her original doll. On the back of her neck is "1991 Tyco, China - BABY FEELS SO REAL". She is bald, vinyl, hard cage inside that feels like bones, head has soft spot, Heavy- feels just like real baby. Natural caucasian color, real looking blue eyes, painted on eyelashes. White diaper with velcro on each side. Diaper shirt pale lavendar or soft pink- cannot really tell actual color. Pink shiney ribbon at neck and around short sleeves. Name tag on front of shirt yellow, blue, & pink in shape of a heart. White lace trim- velcro's at top in back. I went to this site to get estimate on what to ask on Ebay for her. When I get excited about selling, I told my daughter, to only find out a doll that has been in storage for years- now "was her favorite" and "surely I would not sell". Glad I found out in time! Thanks to you all!

I had this doll. I loved her. She was so soft when warm but, hard as a rock when cold. I don't remember her having bones. I had two. My mom had to replace the first one when she got poked with a pin and started to leak. It broke my heart. I wish I still had her. She was the best. I found one in a thrift shop in Colorado as a teen but, never didn't buy her. What a mistake.

I had the original one from the eighties with blonde hair and mine too had the wonderful smell of baby powder. I loved this doll and to this remember that my cousin came to our house and once he felt that she was squishy poked her with a pen and her gel started leaking out. I was horrified, and crying. Big jerk, I remember that to this day. We ended up having to throw her away. I'm still a little sad.

I'm 30 something :-) and I think I have one of the most tragic experience a little girl can have with her doll. Baby Alive and Baby Feel So Real, were my absolute favorites. I loved being a mommie to them and I am much a loving mother now. On christmas morning, Santa left me Baby Feel So Real. My mothers friend came over to celebrate my moms birthday, which is xmas and she sat on my Baby Feel So Real and all the yellow gel/goupe came out. I was between the ages of 6 and 9 not sure what age, but I remember screaming "Oh she killed my baby" I cried all day long. My mother's friend never replaced my doll and I never got another one. I'm desperately trying to find these tow dolls if anyone has any info please let me know

I have this baby feels so real doll also. Mine is the one with the bones and the soft spot and everything. (I think those are the good kind, not the ones with hair and no bones because all the ppl that said had it say that they got destroyed or deformed in some way with the heat. But mine has not yet and I've had it for more than 10 yrs.)I think it's the best baby doll out there. Well I don't think there are any for sale like in the stores but that ever existed. MY aunt bought it for me when I was a young girl and I have kept it intact ever since. I took good care of it. Everybody that has seen it wants one or wants to find out if it's possible to get one but I honestly don't know. From the comments I've read on this site it seems impossible but I wouldn't give up. There might be somebody out there that will be willing to give theirs up. BUt not me! lol...

I also had the Baby Feels So Real that was bald and had "bones". I am 25 now and have 6 nieces. I was just looking online and came across this website. It was my favorite doll. I didn't think that there would be so many people looking for this doll. I hope to find another Baby Feels So Real doll one day. Maybe TYCO should come out with another one so that all of us that had them as little kids can get one for their daughters, granddaughters, or nieces!!! I looked on ebay, but there isn't any for sale right now. Good luck to everyone trying to find one!!
