If it were me, I would practice clean and small incisions at all joints and then tighten/loosen them. Then I would learn the art of plastic surgery to seal up the incisions with various techniques to make them as clean and durable as possible. You could also test the repair job by how much movement or how far to extend the movement to see how strong the repair was. I would test her to see how much mineral oil and how often and keep a records. You could also test on color staining and learn how to remove stains. You might even want to test boob jobs by filling them up with injections. Test different paint on her nipples. Try some tattoos, freckles and hair transplants. Don't be in a rush to strip her flesh down. There is to much information you could learn from that test subject.Poolguy34 wrote:Since you are getting a new body I say remove the skeleton from the old one and post a lot of pictures.

Re: Broken Hip Joint
Do YL and OR suffer this same problem? If not i'd probably go with them until we get an official fix.
I own a 6 year old BoyToy and have had no problems with the skeleton. Granted they're significantly more expensive but still i'd expect a product that actually functions properly.

You want to use paint you go right ahead, but you're probably better off sticking with subtances that are considered safe for human ingestion, particuarly if a doll's nipples and areolae should ever find their way to your mouth or tongue. Lipstick might not last as long as paint, but its far safer.

I was running out of time before work and typed a bunch of brainstorming before rushing out the door. Didn't have a lot of time to read over my thoughts.JunkGuy wrote:Rather, make this "Test different non-toxic applicants (like lipstick) on her nipples"jerryr708 wrote:Test different paint on her nipples.

Re: Broken Hip Joint
The force necessary to fracture metal will totally wreck the softer material of the doll around the break.
Fabricating metal skeletons (metal working) is a skilled process but sometimes things go wrong and damage occurs.
Each individual piece of the skeleton is manufactured in large quantities, tossed into a bin, moved around with a fork truck and then assembled into a skeleton.
This does not take into account the use of softer metals (for lightness), cheap inclusion filled raw metals and/or poor design.
I doubt quality control picked up the stress crack before being the body molding process and you have a doll delivered with a defective skeleton.
Re: Broken Hip Joint
I had a 160D girl arrive near perfect but, the first time I tried to stand her up the right leg buckled at the knee and there I was all 145 pounds of me trying to wrestle and keep from falling an 85 pound dead weight girl. Something inside wasn't kosher although outwardly she looked as good as it gets. I ended up just having her as a bedside pardner but still had to try and stand her when it came time to change the sheets...too much hassle and I ended up selling her to someone stronger and younger than me.
Another thing-these girls are high maintenance regardless if they arrive perfect or with broken hips, legs, etc. Having a problem from the very get go is just not acceptable. I've seen at least two different threads lately about broken hips. Something needs to be looked into more in depth before shipping these girls out as perfection personified...and, fro upward of $2K one would expect a high degree of perfection. That's not exactly pocket change for most of us.
