Leaving the joint to float with jeans cloth around it.Procrasturbate wrote:again... the joint hardware is not the reason for the holes in elbows and knees... thus a shield is moot. the issue is these connection between the tpe and the metal at these points. maybe if they put the connective tape on the shin and thigh, leaving the knee to float, the holes wont occur. damage always occurs where the tpe is taped to the metal.
not sure if I am understanding you correctly. If you put your doll in doggy style position and move her up enough to put your hand under her elbow , you will feel the point of the joint pressing with the full force of her weight against the tpe. It's not surprising then that you would get a tear. If what you are saying is the upper arm and lower arm bars at the joint should be larger in diameter around this point like a real bone then I agree with you. That would possibly prevent the joint it self from pressing against the tpe. Unless the floating joint leaves an indent at which point a plate could make sense like a knee cap. You say it is tape causing the issue. I admit to not knowing enough about that . Just going off of how it feels.Procrasturbate wrote:again... the joint hardware is not the reason for the holes in elbows and knees... thus a shield is moot. the issue is these connection between the tpe and the metal at these points. maybe if they put the connective tape on the shin and thigh, leaving the knee to float, the holes wont occur. damage always occurs where the tpe is taped to the metal.
