It seem's they're listening to us about the neck. The fingers need attention soon. Grim won't buy another doll with these fingers, and hopes to upgrade mine.

Agreed. Someday I will probably have to buy a new Anna Marie. But I absolutely won't until the hands are also fixed. Anna Marie already has one broken finger. And it's not even on her dominant hand.....

This is confusing is it aluminium or stainless? It kinda says both.

Really doesnt matter tho its not the skeleton that makes it heavy.

Neither because that's not the new skeleton we're talking about - you can tell from lack of the shrugging shoulders. That picture is unrelated.

Would be awesome if we could get confirmation on this thread from either WM themselves or any affiliated vendor.

Is this official?
Available on all of WM's current lineup?
Do you need to get the shrugging shoulders to benefit from the hinged neck mechanism or can you get one of the two options separately?

ZD

The way the vendor said it to me was the new skeleton has shrugging shoulders with the hinged neck, it available from 140cm to the 170cm.

Uhm welding bolds, whatever the weld, seems like a bad choice. Simply because it will make corrections a lot harder. I can only imagine having to cut out a weld...you will for pretty sure mess up the TPE right?

IMHO:

They should include a spring loaded washer, and then use a torsion wrench before welding the nut at the joint.

It will help keep the joint in tension for much longer before it gets too loose.

I hope the links make what I'm trying to express clearer.

Once each joint bolt and nut is given a spring washer, tensioned with a wrench, then welded, it's unlikely that they'll need to be serviced for loosening, etc..
