Straightening DS neck bolt?
Straightening DS neck bolt?
Would there be an easy way to straighten it? Maybe I should unscrew the plate off and see if I could straighten it with a grip tool? Has anyone done this before?
Asking before I even think of doing some DIY maintenance.

sorry to hear this. Did you buy DS direct or through a vendor? The damage is a case frop transport insurance. Anyway I would contact DS what to do.
In my DS dolls the plate surrouding the neck bolt is riveted, so no way to remove it easily. The neck bolt is 10 mm stainless steel, not easy to bend. As jiayi already said, no way to exchange anything without cutting the neck to get to the first bolt connection.
Not something you should have to do with a brand new body.
Best of luck with your negotiations (no matter if manufacturer or reseller)

As for shipping insurance stuff, I'll ask my vendor about it. It's not a big issue, just makes it so that the neck is a bit crooked when the head is straight. I was honestly expecting a lot worse after that amount of storing and how the shipping box looked like.

and for the damaged bolt you might just try anvil and hammer?^^

All I did in between was attach the head back and then took it off for pictures. No idea how it was fixed but if it stays like this, I see no need to even attempt to repair it.
Only way I can explain it is that maybe the silicone part was a bit offset in relation to the metal parts, which make it appear more crooked than it was.

I'll try the hanging wire trick if I can pull it off in my apartment.
Thank you all for the help!
