DeCommissioned My Bella 157D

Apologies in advance.. if this is kind of a strange post.

I got my YL Bella 157-D back in December of 2019. So she really helped me pull through the bulk of the quarantine phase.
We had plenty of fun times together and for that I am grateful.

I was going to try and sell her, but in the end decided she just had too many issues to make it worth while.

The biggest issue being a floppy spine/back joint.
I knew it was just a loose joint but I had no doubt anybody else would've said "She has a broken back".

My second issue was I wanted/needed some spare TPE for a project I'm working (entirely outside the doll realm).

So the decision was made to sacrifice the body for the TPE and get to the bottom of the floppy back problem.
Was the joint just loose or was her back broken?

Happy to report it was a loose joint. The back was NOT broken.

And YES, I'm keeping the gorgeous head!

Been looking at this head again lately. Have you posted pictures of it anywhere? Curious what it looks like under regular light, etc.

Ya know I have not posted any pics of her gorgeous face. Lets fix that right now!
I keep her as an OMG Blonde.
These pics at room light. Enjoy!
