Question about Obitsu's Nano Haruka head

[Hippolyta]

Looks like a volks dollfie plus 02 head to me. They're sweet, my Tsukino is one.

But yeah... you will have to wig her!

Looks a lot like mine indeed, thank you

New question... about the actual Nano Haruka head this time, lol. I just received it and put it on my 27cm Obitsu body, using the smallest (default) neckpiece, but the head's all wobbly. A bigger neckpiece wouldn't fit. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong..?

Oh, I found a place in Hong Kong where I can buy MSC for only €9 including shipping (buying in the Netherlands costs me more than €20..!), but it'll be shipped by seamail which may take 45 days lol! I think I'll wait till I can afford the extra €11...

Oh, here's a piccie. Even though she doesn't have eyes or a face-up yet, I think she looks adorable already. I tried some eyes and I never like eyes that are too small, but even though this dollieh takes 8mm, I think my 6mm look way better on her.

She has to hold her head so it doesn't go all floppy:

The only thing I can think of about her head being wobbly is that its not pushed all the way down onto the connector. For my Obitsu heads, I have to push the head down until the opening snaps over the smallest part of the connector. If not, the head will be wobbly.

I really can't push it down further though, I've tried the brutest force I dared to use with this type of body...

[landwhale]

Can you take a picture? I really think the problem is that she isn't pushed down far enough. try squeezing the head and wiggling it down. I never push straight down on my heads.

Oh, sorry I mean a picture of how the neck attaches. Looking at your pic from the front, her neck looks longer than it should be. The Haruka head might just have a really narrow heck hole too.

The head usually does have the most problem getting past the widest part of the neck knob before it pops around the narrowest part. BUt yeah, be careful not to break her.

[Evelien]

I think you are right, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to wiggle such a small neckhole over the bottom part of the neckpiece... I tried for ten minutes under running warm tap water now, no luck at all. I didn't even get close. I may have to sand or cut some 'skin' away I guess? But I don't want to risk ruining her until I know this for sure. I've asked a person on Flickr who has the exact same body/head combo, hopefully she'll reply soon.

Some pictures:

Try warming the head up with a hair dryer. That's the most valuable tool when you're a vinyl doll owner.

I know, but... have you seen the difference in size between the hole and the rim..? It's quite a few mm.. to me it looks impossible. But I'll give it a shot.
