A sad day for Feney

[LaZien]

Hey Everyone.

My SH168 Feney's knee literally fell apart after 1,5 year.

She has the flexi skeleton. I'm in contact now with Mike and wait if there is a solution to this.

Meanwhile Kayla tries to comfort her.

I will update this topic as soon as i got a solution.

I wish you all a better day..

Oh no! Wishing you the best as you deal with this knee injury.

Have you seen Mishka's doll knee surgery video? Different brand, and silicone, but it may prove useful:

Sorry to hear about Feny's knee hope she gets a fix soon.

[LaZien]

Thank You,

This is a different design.

I don't know what the name of this bolt or something is (i'm not an engineer ), but it looks weak.

[Davidh]

It looks like some sort of a locking bolt, that tightens in on a rod.

I feel yr pain. *Annoying* that skeleton issues remain a problem.

How was yr doll used, I mean was she a lot in a sitting position or standing? Flexi means she should have no problem standing ?

Hey skybird100000,

In the 1,5 years she had 3 photoshoots and 99% of the time she was laying on a memory foam mattress.

In the last few months the knee was pretty loose, but i thought it's "just loose" and then i tried to move her and the knee got displaced.

So in short this should never have happened and kinda makes me wonder what flexi is supposed to do. Curious about replies you will get from the manufacturer. Can you post a picture of that knee?

I still have 2 dolls and they just lie on a mattress, i kinda never *use* em (only cuddling) and no real knee problems (1 doll has a loose knee but it was always loose ish and she is only 25kg and not made for posing).

Off topic as I was hesitating while replying and had to google. Kinda confusing
Is it lay in bed or lie in bed?
As stated in the answer above: Use this mnemonic - LAY - (pLAce) and LIE - (recLIne) to remind you of the correct use of these two words. If you LAY YOURSELF (direct object) in bed, you will be LYING in bed = If you PLACE YOURSELF in bed, you will be RECLINING in bed. ... You can only LAY something but you cannot LIE it.26 Feb 2019

Sorry my English is not so good.

Flexi means she has a wider movement range.

I have only 1 picture at the moment.

Hello Everyone,

It has been almost a month and i got zero replies or solutions from Sanhui.

I try to figure out a solution myself.

Maybe welding or ordering some stainless steel or titanium parts to replace the weak aluminum...

Not happy about the whole situation.

Hi I'm assuming that the broken part fitted onto the end of the rod in the last photo? That the 4 broken parts acted like a collet and clamped the rod when a nut was run up it.

I would get a piece of threaded bar the same size as the broken piece and drill it to be a snug-ish 5 to 10 thou. fit on the rod, (maybe you could hunt down your local jobbing machine shop, get them to make a replacement, but without the 4 slots. should be easy if they have the broken one as a template? Get them to make a couple just in case?) and bond it on with JBweld, gorilla glue or similar. or you could cross drill it and pin it, hard to say without sizes, but not an easy operation with a doll wrapped around it.

Hi Tyr!

Yes it fitted there.

Thanks for the advice! I think, this will be the best solution.

[Tyr]

Hi LaZien, I hope you manage to fix her. If you get stuck, there's usually someone on TDF with a solution.
Good luck with your repair.

I have a Sanhui and loose and busted hip joint. I swear it’s from these ball joint style sockets.

[haremlover]

Lack of communication and support from Sanhui is also sad.

Best wishes
