Yomi's wig keeps falling off for some reason : / can I use the Velcro strips to keep it in place ?
Would they damage the plush in any way?
Go back to the safety pins?
What would you guys recommend?

use the saftey pins, some use one others use two,three or four all depends on the wig. the new wig i got for carly doesn't need any pins but the original one needed four.

Yomi's original wig only had 1 I just thought it would be easier to put in Velcro for quick easy removal of multiple types of wigs ;p, but I don't know if that would damage the plush? You guys know more about that xD I'll have a look in the 99p store for some safety pins

I don't know that it would damage anything... but I don't know that it wouldn't either. I'd go with pins just to be safe, but it's your call.

I know velcro can damage some fabrics. I once had a brace on my arm with velcro straps and where it snagged on my doll's satin pajamas it kinda... I don't know how to describe it exactly, it sorta frayed it and left permanent marks. That being said I sorta suspect it wouldn't be as bad on a Teddy Babe just due to the nature of her plush, but I certainly don't want to test it either.

I'm starting to see more discolouring in her breasts which I might be able to fix with some dry brushing

I only noticed this on NYD just before I washed her, some of the red in the lips is peeling off, I assume this isnt that bad just have to repaint and should be good to go right ? :)

congrats on 9 years together. if the lips are peeling it may mean the latex is degrading and you may need to replac the lips eventually. there are several threads on replacing lips you can get them from 8w they are the only supplier since they put midiman out of business.
happy new year to you as well.

Wow,

Yomi is looking great, especially considering her age. Her lips look like early stages of latex rot, maybe you want to purchase replacement lips from Eight Wonder and while you are at it you could order replacement nipples for her. I am a big fan of Yomi because she is such a cute and sturdy doll, but her missing nipple always makes me kinda sad. If you do not like the idea of latex nipples, then maybe you can research of making your own using felt.

I may have to do that :p I have thought about getting the nipples from 8W before ill ask them how much for the pair at some point, moneys low RN since I’m in the process of paying for another doll but I’m looking to do something for Yomi’s 10th birthday so maybe this will be it also I’ll have to sow them on myself or maybe take a trip to see some guy to do it for me :) I’ll ask around and see what he says .
I always regretted not finding that nipple but it was a long time ago so it is what it is xD

I found Karrot's nipple how-to. It is not complicated and if you do it yourself it is very cheap to do:

http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=187&t=45264

The latex nipples of Eight Wonder are 20 USD and you have to remove the original nipples and glue them on. I don't know if this idea appeals to you, considering what is happening to the latex lips...

Best wishes

Hagen

It's always encouraging when we get a Yomi update. She looks great. and it makes me realize I have a lot of years to look forward to with my Teddy Babe.

Just a quick heads up, I have spoken to Jenni @ 8W and I have new lips and “pom-poms”(direct quote)/nipples on order, $25 is all I was asked to pay :) which I thought was a fair price it’ll make a big difference to Yomi.
I still struggling to pay for the new doll but I’m getting there slowly (waiting for bonus’s from work) other then that all’s going well :D
