Disassembling a base DDDy body.

So the DDDy base body based off the dd2 that I had Saber on literally just broke on me. Sadly it broken at the spine and she's literally in half now. I know I've tried to remove the legs before but it was near impossible due to the construction of the older body. 

I think iknow why it broke too... The lower spine is at a rather steep angle. 

Would anyone be able to guide me or give me an guide on disassembling it.

now THAT... is SCARY. key stress/load-bearing points on doll bodies this expensive should be a LOT more ruggedly designed than that...

There is a thread with a video here. 

 

It sucks that this happened to you but don't fret!  This has happened many times and it's repairable!  Just take the doll apart like in that video, get some Permatex Plastic Weld Epoxy from the auto parts store or Amazon and you can put the spine back together again.  It takes time to dry but once done it's as solid as a rock.  My first doll Manami broke exactly like yours did and I was distraught over it for sure.  But with some patience and time I repaired her and I still have that body ( on another girl now ) and it's not given me any issues.

Good luck with the repairs!

Yeah after I accidentally dropped Alsty with Mash's glass on and it broke I gave up on super glue. I'll Epoxy the crap of of everything now. I'll purchase a pack from home depot or whatever tomorrow

The ones made for plastic should fuse the two parts together. 

My local craft shop was out of that last time I went and I didn't remember seeing any from the large home improvement store too. I shouldve just Amazon my crap. 

I'm still on the process of fixing Mash's glasses after Alsty's tumble a month ago.
