Rynnsdolls Posted July 10, 2019 I got a new dollfie body in today and although I am super happy and the seller has been an absolute blessing to work with, the leg is bent kind of outwards. It's a problem in the frame, I tried heating the plastic and bending it back but that only helped a little bit and I'm scared I'll break it if I bend it any further. She's very unbalanced in standing now and if you look at her legs the angle looks unnatural. Is there any other solution besides a new leg part? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeyondTime Posted July 10, 2019 (edited) If the plastic is warped I don't think you have any good solution except getting a new part. Unfortunately thighs and shins are sold in pairs, so you'll end up with an extra. You might be able to sell the extra in the marketplace to someone who just needs one of the parts. With shins they are identical, but thighs have a left and a right, so if the issue is the thigh part you'd need a buyer who needs the specific thigh you have. I would recommend making sure that something doesn't just need to be twisted into position. You could try heating it more, but the kind of heat you need to reshape the plastic will probably weaken it to the point that it won't last through normal stress. Edited July 11, 2019 by BeyondTime The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
merry-go-round Posted July 10, 2019 First, check at the hips. If the legs are well nested. If it's too loose, you have to screw it back. Second, dismount from foot to thigh. Look closely if there is no falling target. Or that the pieces are well nested. Here is a video that tells you how to assemble a DD. After it is on body II but it can still serve no?Youtube DD "How to disassembly for Volks dollfie dream..." Keep us in touch.

Ahhh man 😕 yeah I checked everything but I can see the part of the frame that is bent at the back of the knee. The seller offered to refund the price of a new leg part so, I'll do that then T_T thank you for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
