Welcome fourtyeight!
That WM166 sure is a classic, and hopefully the silicone replacement/equivalent that they have recently announced will/ maybe find her way to my place! [I've just got to research that doll a bit more, as currently, I'm still seeing varied quotes for her weight on various vendor sites.] |

thanks guys for the welcome messages, this isn't my first repair on the doll so I am a bit more confident than some, plus I am qualified in hand fitting and have my PEO level 2 to help me out with the manual work so I know my way around a welding torch if needs be.
I am sure everyone who has a WM doll has the issue with the hands situation with the finger dislocation at one point but at the moment she's in mid repair, I will be getting her a wire construct made or create my own (still figuring out what the vendors pieces are like first before I decide on my next steps) there really isn't much to take a photo of really because its just a small cut on her palm and her wires out of her fingers for now but the palm plate is still in tact. the feet have cuts and abrasions from when I started to figure out how to move the doll at first but I have got the heat gun delivered today but I am still waiting for my IR temperature gauge and my WM TPE block to be delivered before I start any work. I heard 110 degrees is a good sweet spot but I will have to find out what it would be for myself. Bella has full faith in me but she is a bit nervous no doubt. but repair and maintenance is something I am big on at the moment. my current issue right now is trying to get relevant answers from the vendors because they aren't answering my questions detailed enough. im not buying until I get all of the answers I need and yes, I will make a day of it tomorrow to man up and go into primark and get various small sizes of clothes WITH RECEIPT and also makeup and get her dressed up in something better than the stuff she has in now, I am aware she is not winning any fashion weekly awards and she did give me a look when I put what I took a picture in her on her but that in time will soon change when I find out her dimensions fully |

I will note that down when I go into primark. im a bit cautious with online shopping because they mess the sizes around.
