The foot cannot be positioned more upwards than 90° to the lower leg (hard stop) which makes it difficult to get the feet flat to the ground.
Socks and shoes only prevent seeing the deformation. This is why I chose to use my DIY hang system for upright posing.
As posted already I have spent a lot of money for a doll with issues, neither my vendor nor DS helped me other than linking the repair video.
Cucky, thanks for your tip, this is not mentioned in the manual.
I get the impression that many of you either think or have been told that DS dolls can stand upright on their own unassisted. This is from DS' FAQ on their website:
--
"can the doll stand on her feet??
The doll can stand on her feet
against the wall or by
holding some support that supports her. But she should
only stand for a short time to protect the silicone feet."
Clearly, this means that the doll
CANNOT stand unassisted, so whoever is making these claims, please stop doing so.
And this is from their usage recommendation on their site:
--
"The thighs of the DS dolls can be separated to both sides to the
maximum of 130 degrees and for
single leg splitting the leg can be lifted to 100 degrees.
However,
we don't recommend opening the doll's thighs too widely and the
action can produce much pulling force on the doll's silicone which is easy to cause damage."
Please, let's stop basing complaints on things which others
claimed DollSweet said the dolls can do. Clearly, they (DollSweet) have said the same things I have been repeating here all along.
At this point, we need to see pictures of the vaginal tearing before we can continue this critical tone, and we need to see that the tear is apparent with the legs spread apart at the maximum angle DS recommends. I don't like seeing others beating up on a vendor when I see no clear proof of the claims being made here. All we're doing is hurting their business in an unwarranted fashion, which is unacceptable.
Annie: Shirley! We were just...
Abed: About to...
Troy: Eat garbage dip!... WHY DID I HAVE TO GO THIRD?!
