MDD Marisa loose legs

Hello,

I have had my MDD Marisa for a few months now, but all of a sudden her legs became very loose and both fell off at the hip. I reattached them and they are still a bit loose which makes me think they'll fall off again soon. 

Is this anything to be worried about or is it to be expected?

Thank you in advance!

Marisa's a Mochi-ashi, right? That's a known issue with Mochi and the f3 frame, the vinyl in the thighs is too big and it causes the hip frame to work itself loose over time so the legs fall off. Dynamites have the same problem. All you have to do is very carefully align the leg parts in the hip area and press them in there tight to get them seated properly again. If you do that every time you take her out of a seated or leg bent position, they'll stay in no problem.

Thank you very much for the diagram! I will definitely give this a try if her legs fall off again!

As a side question, what exactly are dynamites and mochi-ashis? I haven't heard those terms before.

Sorry to just jump in like this😅 "Mochi-ashi" is the short way to refer to the type of mini dollfie dream that you have, which is a bit different from regular MDD. Mochi is a type of Japanese sweet rice dumpling/dessert, and ashi means legs/feet. This roughly translates to "sweet dumpling legs", which just means that Mochi-ashi is made to have chubbier legs than normal MDD. They also have chubbier hands to match, though everything else about the doll is the same as normal Mini Dollfie Dream. "Dynamite" is a short way to refer to Dollfie Dream Dynamite, which is a DD body option. The difference for Dynamite is that they have larger thighs and chest proportioning as compared to regular DD. Here's some pictures for comparison. (Spoilered for doll nudity)

Hope this helps!
