6ye amores doll with wobbly hip.

Sunsee · Post by **Sunsee** » Sat Sep 03, 2022 9:04 pm

My 6ye Amore doll has a loose wobbly hip.

I have looked through the forum and haven't seen anything specifically related.
I have reached out to 6 YE and received crickets back.

Is it repairable? I don't know ... maybe not.

I don't want to just operate and damage the skin until I have some idea at least which side, inside or outside, to enter from.

Some pics of the skeleton would be handy.
Whether it's a screw or a bolt would be handy too.

Cheers

I have the same problem with my 6Ye 161J. One day I will open her and have a look if anything can be done.

Cheers!

Great going Seagull. Your a Star.
I can't quite see all the detail, but I am pretty sure it is a nut tightened from the inside.
I don't want to wait too long or maybe the threads might get damaged..

Cheers.

Unlikely there will be any damage from a loose joint, broken joints are entirely different though

Still haven't gone in. Now the other hip is loose. I can still stand her against the wall, but her legs flop around like a cripple.
Looks like I will need to enter through the inside of her leg. Really don't want to mess up that area.

That is the basic construction over there. The bigger problem is that the joints are usually lockect by welding.

6ye might have ball joints.. no idea how to fix them easily..

If your doll has a removable vagina, the best method is to remove the insert and cut from inside to the hip. Even if she has a regular vag, it's still an option, but tears the opening up quite a bit.
Not all joints are welded, and if both of your hips got loose, it sounds like you may have un-welded joints. The only way to tell is surgery

Thanks Rev Jack.
It is a fixed vagiga.

I think I might like to just live with loose joints than to risk mutilation.

May have to get one of those little wire cameras to insert and take a look see.

May have to get one of those little wire cameras to insert and take a look see.

It can be difficult to examine the joint more closely because they are usually protected by a tough fabric. Another purpose of that fabric is to attach the material to the skeleton so that it follows the doll's movements better.

On the left is a simple doll skeleton (half of it), which is not suitable for standing. You can see the textiles around the joints that I have partially opened. I am going to modify a broken doll in way that it can stand (by changing that half of the skeleton with the one over right).
