I suppose this looks better, but I have limited tome to get this ready (I am going to be away from home for 5 months and leave Sunday)trauma wrote:So you’re going to slice open the TPE and hang the YL148 from its skeleton right?

If you use the hardware/hook you posted be sure to screw into a stud.
Maybe a U.S. distributor like RLSD has that hanging kit stateside so you could get it before Sunday.

Sounds like a plan. I will try having her sit as you do Arthur.Arthur1960 wrote:Hi, is there no way you can have your doll sit in the closet? My YL148 happily sits in my wardrobe on a shelf with her legs out at 45 degrees. I have her sitting on a pillow and she also has a pillow behind her back. When she is not sitting on my bed she sits in the wardrobe and so far seems fine like that. I'm sure you would regret cutting into the tpe on your gals back, it can't be good and would be a way of water getting in when you washed her.
Samara78, I very much appreciate your reply and your experience.
Live Long & Prosper all!

NOT recommended! If the material is folded/stretched like that for too much/long it will develop creases where the legs bend, and that's very hard to repair with tpe-glue. The doll should always be stored in a natural straight position (with legs slightly bent apart, just enough to vent cavities), the way it was molded. This is also why we put extra vaseline/Nivea Cream on these busy areas of the doll (any area that often bends) when performing the oil-treatment, as it is supposed to make the material slightly more durable for stretching.Gundam wrote: Sounds like a plan.

The effect might variate a bit with different manufacturers blends of TPE, and the overall design of the doll, but it's a very unnecessary risk. I used to have my doll sitting in the sofa when not in use for a period of time (about a month), and that was enough to eventually develop some creases between the legs and groin This was however just about 5 months after purchase, and before oil-treatment became a thing, so she might've been a bit dry at that time. However, I've seen many other examples of this around here as well, so it's quite a regular problem, at least for TPE-dolls.
