How to fix RD2 broken (dislocated?) hip?

Post by speed60 »

Hey all. I have a 2016 RD2, and one hip has become, to best explain it, completely unattached from the socket.

As it is now, I can move the upper leg anywhere I want it, totally freely. It can move any way, in ways it shouldn't be able to move, since it's just in there not attached. I believe I heard a popping noise before I noticed this. Anyone have any info on how to fix this?

Greatly appreciated.

First you will have to get a sharp blade and make a clean cut at the seam line in the hip area. Cut all the way it will be deap. Spread the skin shine a light in there and take pics of the damage share here. You can also contact annette at real dolls via email and send a pic or 2 of the busted hip. She should send you parts for that.

Thanks. I'm not home until after the new year, but I will then. Any info on what I may find and what parts or tools, adhesives etc. I may need would be great.

Hey there Speed,

I just wanted to post here to let everyone know that I have been working with you on your dolls hip issue since last evening and that we are talking thru PM's about it. I have repaired 2 body F hip-leg breaks in the past 4-5 weeks and both were broken PVC bone breaks right at the bottom edge of the lower section of the hip joint. There was another leg break that I repaired for Zebo's one doll several months back also and that one was at the ankle but, the same material. I am suspecting at this time that the break in Speed's dolls leg is similar to the dolls that I just repaired and so I will be in contact with him about this when he gets back home to check her as I recommended so we can be more sure of what happened. :)

Very much appreciated. I feel so helpless. Glad experts like you are around.
