Head peg help~

Postby NaomiGnosis » Thu Sep 06, 2012 5:11 pm

I just got my first obitsu today. Here's a photo of her naked self:

The problem is her head peg is "loose". When i put her head on she's more like a bobble head than anything. The peg itself just moves so much easier than Gnosis' doll's head does. I'm not sure why it's like this and I'm not sure how to fix it. I tried doing a search for it, with no results of help. I'd love to be able to pose her, but no matter what I do, her head just lolls around as if she's a bobble head and not an obitsu! This is so frustrating because I love taking photos. I'd rather her not look like her head is always flopped rather than angled artistically.

Is there any way to fix this?

That's pretty much what happened to my girl. Just tighten the screw in her head with a small screw driver OR part of a pair of scissors.

(Also nice head sculpt. XD My first girl is the exact same mold but with brown eyes.)

I ended up doing that but she's still a little loose. Thanks! She's at least pose-able now. :D I really liked that head, glad to see i'm not the only one.

Welcome! ^^ Once you get a wig on her it'll provide some more weight that'll help even it out. It really is a nice head and looks great with and without face up. (I kept my girl blank as I loved how natural she looked.)

>_< that's the same head that my Prizm has.
I have so many dolls that I can't fit all their names in my signature anymore. @__@

Congrats on your Obitsu girl! Can't wait to see what you'll do with her faceup and what wig you'll choose! :D

Is it just me or are your emoticons supposed to imply that you're cranky/annoyed all the time? :P I've been wondering for quite a while now. ^^

Uh..... that's my squee-face. It usually means I'm excited about something to an embarrassing degree. :lol:
