Hi All,
I am having problem with my doll. Her right arm seems to be broken. The arm force her hands to always in the "reach out", i.e. ready to hug. I cannot make her hands to stay flat on bed like what the other arm allow her to. I heard this creaking sound whenever I tried to make her right arms to be in the sleeping position, so I stop.
Jerry,
Thanks for reply. My doll is just 2 days old, so I think we can safely cross rusting from out list of potential suspects. Plus, I only give her sponge bath, nothing like full blown shower.
Did I read correctly in another thread that the "Thomas Skeleton" is on its way and was to be the frame used in the B7's? Or should I specify that frame for my doll. I have 16-18 weeks to think about it but I wanted to ask. From what I read, the Thomas Skeleton is the best so far.
I know Matt will Help Buyeranyway he can. I have no worries there. [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img]

Should I specify the Thomas Skeleton just to be sure? Now that Leyna is listed in the "Dolls On Order" list and there is a row for "Thomas Skeleton", I'm wondering if I should? Am I anal retentive or what? [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
Perhaps Bill or someone who has ordered one can detail how it is better than the standard skeleton. Of course, you have to remember that the standard skeleton has been improved, with the locking joints and all.
I think it costs a grand extra, so you shouldn't ask for it unless you know exactly how it is better, and whether the enhancements are worth it.
Boater,
I ordered the Thomas skeleton with the Thomas hands and the Thomas skull. The Thomas skeleton uses friction joints to hold position while Matt's does not hold position. The Thomas hands can hold objects better than wire fingers. The Thomas skull has a full set of teeth and a shorter neck attachment. I would call Matt before ordering any of Thomas's doll parts to be sure of function and availability.
It will be a first when I get mine.
Thanks fellas! There is always something to think about I guess, and it always seems the more I think the more it might cost me. [img]modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img]
Oh well!
I agree, the more I hear about the newer stuff (the Thomas skeleton, the new harder silicone, the softer silicone) the more confused I seem to get about what exactly to order. I doubt I'll spend an extra grand or so on the skeleton, but the various silicones to request has me stumped. I'm going to take a trip to Abyss and take the tour and order in person. I'll probably even drive 4 hours back to pick her up. I've read RD's hell with UPS and I don't want any part of it.
That was a used doll. The shipper Abyss uses, US Freightways, seems a lot more reliable. Certainly Darcy arrived with no problems, and I don't recall anyone else having issues with USF.
