So Little Miss is a little over 3 years old now and some of her joints have loosened off in that time. Please bear in mind that she is a hard working photo model, and so this is completely expected. The elbows are important joints for posing, so that hands can be positioned away from the body for more dynamic poses, and Xiaoli's left elbow had lost this ability. Fortunately the elbow is a very easy fix. Simply slit the silicone either side along the seam line where the bolt is, then tighten and reseal in the usual manner for Silicone ladies. We had a complete success, with Little Miss feeling much happier this morning.
Here we can clearly see the elbow, now able to hold its own position, and the clean repair line

She is now able to flex as she always was, but without the need for supporting her arm with any external assistance.

Of course, this also means she can now hold her morning tea cup properly once again, as she demonstrates here
