Technical Question about non standing feet
I have purchased my first 157 B (approx 62Lbs) recently, (waiting on her as I type now)
I neglected to choose "Standing feet option" for her... Order was placed and I am sure I can't change it.
Initially I did not want standing feet b/c I did not want any chance of water intrusion while cleaning.
now I am a bit regretful.
How detrimental is it to stand her up (even leaning against a support) without this option? I don't want the foot plate metal to cut through the TPE of the feet (although doing it repeatedly I am sure it will)
I only plan on doing some photos with assisted standing. Not leave her standing all the time and such.
Is there any way to minimize the damage potential? shoes? boots etc.?
I have brainstormed a bit and I think I may have an Idea to add a standing foot mod after the fact, but need more research and a picture of the skeletal foot plate in relations to the TPE material. (positioning inside the material.)
If anyone has a pic of the foot innards, etc please post or PM me
Thanks!

Re: Technical Question about non standing feet
Get in contact with your vendor and ask if it is possible to add the standing feet option. Maybe it is not too late. 10 days, there are chances that your Doll did not enter production yet. It does cost nothing to try and you may regret it afterwards.

Re: Technical Question about non standing feet
Thanks, Authur. Yeah, I just looked at my bank account, even if It could be added, right now the funds are not available..Arthur1960 wrote:Hi, if you find that it is too late to change your order to standing feet for your gal then all is not lost entirely if all you want to do is stand her occasionally for photography. I've been doing it for nearly 2 years now with my first doll, a YL148. At the time I wasn't really clued up and didn't even think that the standing foot option was something that I would want, however since then my photography has taken off and I appreciate the option and so the last 3 dolls I have ordered can stand. Going back to non standing feet, providing that your doll isn't too heavy (the WM157B is 28-30kg) then it's possible to stand her for say a few minutes at a time. You will need to pad out her feet with, say, a thick pair of socks and also get some shoes, boots or trainers that fit well and have a thickish sole. Ankle boots that give some support are best, my YL148 is about 4kg heavier than the WM157 and her feet are still fine, just bear in mind that the longer you leave her standing the higher the risk of the foot plate cutting into the tpe, also the tpe now in use is softer than that used 2 years ago. Hope that's of some help. If you want to see it being done then check out my Sarah's thread as I'm sure I've got several pics of her standing.
This is bill week for me, and I pretty much scrapped up all I had just to get her now I am paying the piper. I won't have the money together before she goes into production, if not already in production. I do have a secondary plan B. Mod of sorts if it gets too scary. But I dunno, I'll have to wait till she arrives to evaluate it. It may just be a pipe dream. This mod will depend on the lateral force exerted while standing and how strong the magnets will be.
