With the introduction of computers and the Internet, virtual and online dolls appeared. These are often similar to traditional [[paper doll]]s and enable users to design virtual dolls and [[drag and drop]] clothes onto dolls or images of actual people to play dress up. These include [[Kisekae Set System|KiSS]], [[Stardoll]] and [[Dollz]].

Also with the advent of the Internet, collectible dolls are customized and sold or displayed online. [[Reborn doll]]s are vinyl dolls that have been customized to resemble a human baby with as much [[Realism (arts)|realism]] as possible. They are often sold online through sites such as [[eBay]].<ref name="NYT">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/20/magazine/hyperreality-hobbying.html|first=Rob|last=Walker|authorlink=Rob Walker (journalist)|title= The Way We Live Now: Consumed: Hyperreality Hobbying|date=20 February 2005|newspaper=The New York Times |access-date=22 July 2009}}</ref><ref name="Mont">Montcombroux, Vieve.
