Can you please provide details for what type and size of bolts are installed into a doll manufactured by Elsa Babe this year? Are they threaded female nuts/sockets into which the bolts are screwed or is it only a bolt? What thread size? What head type and size on the bolt? Are they compatible with
these flesh colored floor protectors? I don't need to know this, but others might so while you're at it, how deep are the threaded female nuts/sockets into which the bolts are screwed?
Forgive me if this is already detailed somewhere and please provide links if so. I googled a bit and couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!

Hello, please see the foot bolt pictures below, size: M6.
How long are each of the the bolts? I assume the heel bolt is a different length than the 2 toe bolts? Are the 2 toe bolts different lengths?

For the foot bolt pictures I sent, they are the same foot bolt, just different camera angles.

Sorry, I'm not asking about the pictures. I'm asking how long each of the three bolts in a foot are?

For the three bolts in a foot, the bolts are all the same size: 1.5cm long.

Ah, my assumption was wrong, interesting. Thanks much for the specific length!

Hi all,
To answer the OP's question, the foot screw covers that I make
WILL NOT WORK with the carriage bolt type of foot screws.
To use the foot screw covers you will need to replace the screws with
button head screws.
M6 button head screws:

I don't have the exact deets on the bolts they use this year, but here's the lowdown. Usually, dolls come with all sorts of screws and bolts, right? It's like a mini construction project sometimes.

@MannequinFan has been so great that I have to drop a mini vendor review and this seems like the best place. I ordered some caps from them before I understood the required bolt details, totally my bad. They've been very responsive, helpful, and generous with replacements. I can't recommend them enough as a vendor. Note that
they also sell other items including "Easy Move Eyes" and interesting head stands.

For anyone else needing this information, they seem to be 1.9cm long. The top bolt in this photo is an M6 sold as 1.5cm and measures as that length. The bottom bolt is one of the bolts I received from Elsa Babe for my doll and measures as 1.9cm:
The longer 1.9cm bolts seem to be the better length because they can be screwed in deeper before compressing the silicone and thus seem less likely to screw themselves out over time.

I ordered my Elsa Babe with hard standing feet but I think I would like to also add standing bolts, anyone know if the skeleton on the 165 comes with pre drilled and tapped holes? Can someone provide a pic of the location of the bolts on the feet?
Thank you!

Hello, for our hard standing feet, they are without bolts.
