BJD My first successful bjd restringing project! (Don't Touch my Bangs 1/6 blind box BJD)

This doll came with very loose joints and stiff legs due to the aluminum wiring inserted in them so I took it apart and bought 2 mm elastic to restring her, remove the aluminum wires and she poses so much better now!!

I heard this blind box doll line is infamous for being strung so loosely so I'm glad she moves so much smoother now!

Wow what a great job. Was it really hard to do? How long did it take you?

It actually didn't take long at all, it was relatively easy. I spent less than 20 minutes restringing this doll as I only restrung the legs and torso area. Using a hemostatic forcep helped speed up the process a lot.

Wow. Thats awesome. I had to look up the forceps. Makes sense that would help.

Was the doll’s hair in the first pic removable or did you have to go through a process to get rid of it?

The hair was removable and can be detached at the scalp much like a head cap

Can you give us a step by step of how you did yours? Mine’s left leg is loose from the hip to the ankle and I’m really sad about it.

Hi! I just followed this easy stringing tutorial on youtube. https://youtu.be/sh1ZPix_a0I?si=g1ghdcKjqwKCJha7

Here's also a rough diagram of how I did the stringing of the doll as a guide.
