Re: 130cm Fabric Anime Repair and Maintenance Log
I notices one of Mina's legs was getting loose, eventually it was a bit too loose. so feeling around her hip I found the bolt. Where the leg bends you can feel it through the skins, it sticks out a bit.
How to get to the bolt.
1. Remove head and clothes.
2. Fold arms to hold elbows in front
3. Unzip outer skin and peel down as far as you can, comfortably
4. Make your doll lean forward at the waist
5. Bend loose leg at hip up into slightly seated position.
6. Reach arm down back around hip and to the location of the bolt.
7. See tightening methods
Tightening methods.
-No Tools-
1. Firmly pinch the nut in your fingers through the inner skin.
2. Tighten as much as you can, comfortably
Notes - You can't get them all that tight with this method but if you're ok with your doll being a little loose it is fine.
-With Tools-
*Warning! This could cause some minor damage!*
1. Slide hand between skins with 4mm Allen Wrench to location of the hip bolt.
2. Attempt to insert allen wrench through inner skin hip seam.
3. Move wrench towards loose hip bolt.
4. Semi seated position allows for longer end to be inserted and threaded through, small end is used to tighten.
Notes - The stitching for the iiner skin hip seam is tighter than the shoulder seams.
Be careful not to pinch the inner skin with the tool as this can cause a tear to form. (found out the hard way)

wondering this myself.Mr_Cthulu wrote:Just wondering does the bolt tightening also apply to the dagmar bodies as well since I feel (and could be wrong) they would share a similar frame?

Re: 130cm Fabric Anime Repair and Maintenance Log
Fabric does have the issues of being porous and absorbent. They could get filthy and harbor allergens way more easily. Occasional spot cleaning can keep them looking good but I'm thinking of a monthly deep clean that will keep your doll and you healthy. This should include cleaning methods and spot removal if necessary.
-Deep Cleaning List-
-Baking soda and peroxide paste is used for general spot removal.
-Right now I'm using Siege Teddy Bear Cleaner for any dirt and dust that gets on the skin. I'll have to look around for other options as well.
-Wigs are washed with wig specific shampoos. (I don't use cheap wigs)
-All easily reachable joints are inspected and adjusted as needed. (this can be done each time before playing with your doll too)
-Clothes are washed.
Notes:
-Possibly Scotchgard

Re: 130cm Fabric Anime Repair and Maintenance Log
Here is an infographic on some basic hand stitches.
I haven't had to sew anything yet but the time will come when I need to, be it on the doll or to tailor some clothes to fit her better.
Clothing size off the rack is between 6-8. Underwear is around 4-5. Shoe sizes are around 10 or 11 and can help the doll hold some poses and stand better. Costumes can be fun too. The 130cm Fabric Anime doll is small and asian in physique, finding the right size of clothes will require a bit of trial and error so check out thrift stores. This way you don't spend too much and you can practice tailoring if you find something you like on your doll if it is too loose.
You can get a decent sewing kit for about $10 and any craft store will carry the different types of needles as shown in the picture.

Re: 130cm Fabric Anime Repair and Maintenance Log
I saw that one too, looked pretty good by the time it was done and the step by step pictures of the progress was great. I want to create something like that but with basic maintenance and repairs on this doll to make owning it much easier.roninfiertze wrote:This all looks so familiar to me...

This doll is very affordable and so many are turned off by the anime art part of it. There aren't many options for different heads for them and nobody really sells masks designed for them. There are a couple of more "realistic" masks but those are usually sold with the doll and not separately. With a wider range for faces it would be a very economical option for those wanting to own a doll but not have to deal with paying alot or having it weigh too much.
