Gooseneck Sound - is it normal?
like the topic says, is it normal that the neck makes noise as soon as you reposition the head?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about the noise of the loose connector bolt - which I already fixed by adding some tape.
Thanks in advance

Perhaps other TPE manufacturers might have solved the problem. I wish WM would.

The second body's neck doesn't make a sound.

Then the heck/head would not hold position.
There is not true fix for this no matter who says different. Their is a repair part that is offered. BUT this is just a quick fix. It by no means solves the problem.
Good luck

I have experienced four WM dolls and another made by the same factory and of the five still have three. The necks of all five creak.
Some women talk in bed. Some manufacturers can't wait to make dolls which make noises. The creak is simply the WM lady's way of communicating.

Agreed. 'Grinding sound' is bad. 'Squeek' is fine. Most of the joints squeak when moved so I'm not surprised the neck does as well.justintime wrote:The neck should not make the grinding sound I think you may be talking about.
Of course I wish it was silent too. Except for a few nights with a sore back or arm, I've had Brie cuddled up next to me resting her head on on my shoulder overnight. Any slight move I make causes the neck to creak and often wakes me up. Still trying to figure out the ideal position that is both comfortable for me and minimizes her neck movement.

When you see first hand how they are constructed it becomes very obvious where the noise originates from. So a scraping or creaking noise is normal, but I would be concerned about a grinding noise. Does this grinding noise happen only when the head is moved in certain directions, say side to side or front to rear, or is it present when ever the head is move at all?
Well, to be clear, I recorded it. See/listen to attached file.
