Luckily I just got a new Dremel 3000 today originally for a totally different purpose. Also I have been considering learning the art of welding for a while now, I just need some money (just spent it all on buying the doll lol) to buy the appropriate equipment with.

In the mean time I shall try a bit of epoxy glue and see what happens

Once again I cannot thank you guys enough for you help.
your welcome Trigger. My Idea was one that RGC mentioned while i was drafting up pics. So we were on the same trail, as far as a hurried concocted repair. But the main details are there.

as mentioned, you may can just get a head adapter quick connect that uses a bracket if the hole is not too large where it broke out.

Gentlemen, she's fixed! :D

I did pretty much what RainKing suggested. It sounded like the easiest option. I "Dremeled" the hole in the head where the nut originally was, took some kinda plate or washer, drilled out the hole bigger, drilled out 4 holes 90 degrees apart near the edge, used epoxy to the bond nut to the plate, screwed the plate to the head with nut inside the head and finally I used a generous application of epoxy to the plate edge and head as an extra measure. Results: happy Jenna and happy Trigger :D Pic below
That epoxy is some pretty tuff stuff

Good job!!
Bet you'll be watching her like a hawk now :) Just so she does not fall over. My lady today wanted to fall over for a nap. Nope! I'd not let her!!

Holding up just fine thanks. I'm very pleased with the results and even she is saying her neck doesn't hurt as much now.
