What are those for?
What are those for?
First one is a small little box. However I can't decipher the writing on it:
The second one is a ringshaped piece:
Anybody got an idea?

Re: What are those for?
Don't know what the lock washer is for. Never heard of one included with a doll before. Either this is something they just started sending out with new dolls to lock the neck bolt in place or it fell into the box by accident. Knowing whether its the appropriate size for the neck bolt screw would explain a lot.
Re: What are those for?
Just worth a note, some people raised warnings about how lockwashers can shred the threads inside bolt, so be careful if using it. Personally I've had no problems with it after using it for about 2 years now, but quality of bolts might differ. But imo even if they do shred the inner threads where they're positioned, the screw never reach that far in anyway, so I fail to see what difference it would make. Just make sure to put the lockwashers all the way into the head bolt first, so you don't let them get dragged along all threads as you screw the head into place.
Where did you buy the doll? Might be the vendor who threw it in there, of if it's a used doll it might be the previous user.

Better yet, just give us magnetic adapters like we buy third-party. They are far superior to turning the head around a few thousand degrees to put on or take off.

I'm betting it's a part that accidentally fell into the box, and it goes nowhere.

Re: What are those for?
I bet it is. I bought lock washers for all my TPE dolls. It keeps the head from clacking and maintains position better. Hard to judge size by the pic, but if it fits over the m16 pipe nipple, then that's EXACTLY what it is. Makes perfect sense it would not be on the doll since they are shipped with the head off. And guess what, that pipe nipple screws into a metal goose neck and the head also has metal female threads. And Junkguy is right about the stain remover too.grimreefer24601 wrote:That lock washer cannot be for the neck. There is no metal surface for it to lock to. Unless this neck and head are significantly different from MJ's, and shes a September model. There is no way that a lock washer could function on the factory head/neck.

Re: What are those for?
On my two heads there's a metal bottom in the heads bolt. The screw is hollow, but thick enough around the edges for good contact. I use two lock washers for best effect. My heads and WM140 is 2 years old though, so you might be right that design have changed over the years. Here's a pic;grimreefer24601 wrote:That lock washer cannot be for the neck.
