Wonder if I should take Sheeana & Mo to Dr Doll for a cranial upgrade too.. 'cause sooner or later I'll prob break that plastic ..

what would it cost for Abyss/Phoenix to implement heavier/metal skull-to-neck attachments in their dolls?

From what I have observed in many of these skulls that I have repaired and others that I have transferred from one doll body to another is that there is no consistency in the thickness of the base plate extension of the skull where it attaches to the neck post. The plate area is decently thick on some skulls and very thin on others like the one that just broke on Karlie as it was very thin in the middle where the bolt hole was drilled. Those thin ones are easy to flex and with a tight neck post block, they can crack when you must use extra force to tilt the head on the doll.

I don't know if Abyss actually makes the skulls in house or they have them made for them but, they need an upgrade or improvement on the base plate extension to make it consistently thicker as in just 1/4 inch thick all the way across side to side would keep that area stiff an help prevent cracking and then breakage.

The method that I used to repair Karlie's skull with the fabricated aluminum plate is the strongest possible solution for a break like that skull had and her second skull is much the same but, was damaged when the doll was originally shipped so 2 skulls broke in the same manner and at about the same exact place. The resin that makes up the skulls is similar to ABS material if not ABS itself and is a devil to repair with just some type of adhesive as that type of polymer is not easily adhered to. The plate repair solution that I did here is about the only way to salvage a skull that is broke the way this one was and it just ends up being stronger than it originally was. I will repair her second skull the same way so there will be an extra on hand for her or another one of your BT dolls if one were to break in the future. :D !

Dr. Dodge also happens to be my silicone family physician, and I can't say enough about his medical acumen, not to mention his bedside manner. Dr. Dodge doesn't order parts, or simply replace them: he re-engineers and fabricates them. Absolutely amazing.

Karlie, you are looking good! :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

Sis, Sheeana & Mo aren't the only ones that are so "jelly"! You are looking HOT as ever. If you can get permission from the girls you need to give Dodgeman a real hug.

Hugs-n-Kisses (to all but the brute Hostage :evil: )

To see you looking in such better health makes my day! YAY! Dodgeman is so awesome. You're looking FABULOUS!!!

When Hollywu hurt her knee Akiko and I discussed trying to send her to see him as he might have been able to help. However, some major resting it, ice and not doing anything stupid helped her heal. I'm so glad I have Akiko and Sadako to help me get on her about doing stupid things like lifting things that are too heavy. She's an older model and we have to try and keep her in as good a shape as possible and want her to last a long time. They don't even make some of her parts now so all the more reason for some caution.

I'm sure, even though you've had some operations, you've enjoyed your stay with Dodgeman and his lovely gals. But I am also sure you will be happy to be home too!

Hugs and take care,

Rari

Actually Hostage she's pissed at me because you did what it takes to get Karlie to be able to visit Dr. Dodgeman and his "assistance". There are a couple of the "assistance" that Azure really wants to spend time with.

Glad that Karlie is under the best care available, and looking mighty fine.
