Funny thing is, RLSD (the top vendor of WM Dolls), has never had a customer complaint on the hinged neck and Jeff @ BCD just told me the same thing, never any issues reported. I'll ask them because I don't know where the complaints they got originated from. I'm kind of curious myself. I wonder if there really were complaints or they are just being proactive. I'll talk with them in depth and find out.Anung Un Rama wrote: A couple of months back when everyone went Postal at Aiersha (JY/AS/AF,JL) for doing this I suggested that this is likely going to be the case with a lot of the main players who used similar component for the chassis suppliers.
I am not going to again say I told you all so!
Absolutely Anung! We have said the same thing on many occasions. It's our recommendation if you have a standing foot doll, never to leave her stored unattended by standing alone. Always use the CBS Kit to secure her to protect from falling. (FYI the factory supplied bolt and hook will not work for that logistically). The CBS Kit will in most cases, as it has some length to play with.Anung Un Rama wrote:Anyhow, I still recommend that if you are going to hang your dolly, irrespective of the neck, get a standing foot option and ensure some of her mass is supported via the feet (especially at the ankle/heel) as this is the strength loadbearing design of the ankle and foot interface, and will reduce the load on the hanging components that will only add to the longevity of your dolly.
All the best,
