Ashton Drake is best known for its realistic baby dolls. The So Truly Real doll is made of a lifelike vinyl called RealTouch Skin. Its texture, creases and folds are so true to life that it's hard to believe that So Truly Real dolls are replicas. Collectors who are fond of the Precious Moments brand will be pleased to find these dolls as a part of the Ashton Drake gallery. The Ashton Drake Gallery specializes in true to life collectible dolls. These dolls are treasured works of art. One popular Ashton Drake doll artist is Linda Webb. Her original Baby Emily doll collection inspired subsequent So Truly Real doll lines. Webb draws upon real-life inspiration from visits to hospital nurseries. The Baby Emily doll collection, like many others that followed, includes representations of the central character at several early stages in life from newborn through year one. Doll collectors who favor fantasy-themed dolls will appreciate the Precious Moments dolls produced by Ashton Drake.
