Another thing I would like to mention is the top M16 neck bolt, some doll makers recommend using that for long-term storage. Hence, it is strong enough.
If the full weight of a body is suspended by the neck from that there is a potential snap point between the main nut and the locking nut (the one with the washer).

There is also a secondary weakspot at the head of the bolt that goes through the L hanging bar. I believe that bolt needs to be much more substantial to withstand the fulcrum effect. (i.e. the bolt itself will be ok but at the pressure point the angle will increase the force effectively multiplying the load).

I'm not an engineer and I can see that. I'll drop For Real a PM and point him to this thread to see whether he can help out with the design.

Note that non of this is about the actual unit that looks really good quality. Its the M16 head connector which I don't think is right and thats what I would imagine that most sales on here would be for if people purchased one of these.
