Twisted Fingers
But my question is, several of the broken fingers have twisted around so that they are facing sideways, or one of them is almost completely backwards now. See the pic below.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to make them untwisted. Has anybody else experienced this and found a way to fix it? And if so, can you explain what technique you used. I've tried twisting them the opposite way, but they spring right back to where they were.
The broken fingers suck, but the twisted thing is really frustrating. It's hard to hide in photographs, and it makes me not want to really look at her hands too closely during our personal time.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Re: Twisted Fingers
I'm not entirely sure how I fixed it. It's a bit of a puzzle. You can see that her middle finger is slightly rotated. Bend it upwards (at the root), and when bending it down, don;t do that straight down, but with a rotation in the direction you want to correct it, so the tip of the finger makes a circular movement.
Kim has a girlfriend: Erika Juliana Clark, she's got her own thread in the Yourdoll forum.
And then there is Alexandra Seizinger, who also has her own album and thread.
Lexi (a Phicen/TBleague doll) likes to travel.

Re: Twisted Fingers
I still have some tweaking to do, but at least her middle finger is facing the right way again more or less.
I did feel like a mafia goon trying to collect a debt doing it though. Poor girl...
Thank you so much. I never would have figured that out.

Now I wonder, did Anna Marie pay her debt? And did she get some hugs when her boyfriend recollected her?
Don't forget to take a look at my girlfriend Juliana.
My Lexi visits lots of places. Allison is featuring in her travels. Allison has her own thread too.

Honestly, if anybody owes anybody anything, it's me that owes her.

Re: Twisted Fingers
If you don't mind "no finger bones", which some people find to be a boner-killer, this is a great method, of course it requires the wire or wires have broken free of the palm plate, and an internal straightening of the wires before extraction.
The method doesn't require surgery, or the dreaded TPE glue. And boner-killer or not, wiggly fingers beat the heck out of the twisted variety.
