Older Reiko doll

Hello sanhui admirers. I just purchased an older model sanhui 120. An old favorite of mine for sure. She needs the new neck joint and replacements for other joints as well. I put a similar topic in repair and maintanance. For now i wanted to inquire if there were any replacement joints i could give her that would work?

I'm interested to see how you repair the eyebrows and other colors.
I'll need to do some touch-ups to my doll eventually.
Good luck.

She's a lucky doll.

I feel the same way. I've learned to expect to be amazed at what Samara does.

You fellas are making me blush. I hope to do a good job on her. She needs a little love not too bad

I have come up with a repair plan for her.
FACE
Movable specialty color eyes,an open mouth slightly parted lips(sorry no oral) and homemade silicone teeth hand sculpted. Rose colored lips,black eyeliner, super long eye lashes,black eyebrows silicone paint not sure about eyeshadow yet, face blushing.
BODY
Medium pink nipples, and vagina pubic hair(silicone paint)body blushing.
JOINT AND BODY REPAIR
Joints will be floppy and made by either a thick rubber hose and steel clamps (to prevent wire poke damage to her skin) two fingers reatached with 4 finger wires replaced and capped with a bead of firm silicone.all other finger wires capped with a bead of silicone too.
Toe wires capped. Manicure pedicure with artificial nail tips. Cosmetic repair of previously repaired silicone.
Altogther this will take 3 or 4 days of 12 hours at a stint.

Wish me luck peeps. I will post a repair thread for her in repairs and maintanance and reintroduce her here in parts as they are completed.
Wish me luck lol

Thanks this will be my largest doll project since the r.d i tried repairing in 2014. This should be a piece of cake though.
I have the color pallet selected,the repair kit on standby and a steady hand lol.
