Snap, Crackle, Pop, Teddy-Babe? (Wire Skeleton Concerns)
Can someone with more experience with the internals share some insight as to what could be popping so early? So far I feel I've been really good about minding the stress on her skeleton while posing her. It's too damn early in the life of doll to have to pull stitches and stuffing.

This happened to a Deluxe of mine, I used the opportunity to give her "bones" in the form of PVC tubing in the legs. Be sure that you learn the ladder stitch and to learn how to handle this devilish device to cut seams, it is sharp as hell so be very careful when using it.

Actually Sate, your video that involves pulling out the standard skeleton is most of what I was referencing regarding internals. I'm amused that the skeleton is that simple, but I can see why it works.
If I feel up to it, I may try to pull the skeleton and see if I can improve upon 8W's wire wrapping technique, though I don't think I want to go so hardcore as to building her a new skeleton. But I could probably do that as well as fabricating in PVC and similar materials is something I have been doing for years.
Hrmmmm, wrapping the wires in padded insulation tape to soften up the "bone structure" just become an idea.

And as little as I do with her hands, that just screams to me piss poor fabrication or materials. I've only had her just over 3 months.
While I don't want my girl to be a limp noodle of a plushie, I'm starting to lean towards just pulling the skeleton entirely.
Damnit.
