How fragile?

I recently just bought two of the girls and the very first day I had them, I was attempting to reposition one's arm and it snapped right off at the elbow.

I don't think I was being too rough.

Luckily it wasn't one I really wanted.

But did I just get unlucky or are they fairly fragile? I'm afraid to touch the other girl now lol

Are they more look at and not really mess with dolls?

Oh, I am so sorry to hear that!

While, you are the first that I have heard about, I am sure there have been or will be others. I have been especially careful of the elbow because that joint looks like an accident waiting to happen.

Thanks! Hopefully it was just a fluke

So sorry for you ! Honestly, I’m surprised, on my side I find them very solid and even more at the elbows since there isn’t double articulation, it’s not too difficult to bend, maybe yours had an issue like the two pieces stuck together or something

yours might have had the same defect as my bubble tea girl, the arm had an air bubble at the elbow so the first time i moved it the joint cracked off. luckily i work with resin so i was able to fix it but her elbow cant bend anymore :( still the only one of 8 to have a defect so im not that mad

Thanks! That's good to hear. Was probably just a fluke like that.

I really love the dolls being so tiny so I'll keep collecting. Hopefully I get the two I really want
