I got ambitious and spent two hours yesterday trying to restring my Dollmore Paran girl. Good grief, I think Dollmore was going for the doll/puzzlebox theme with the way they have her strung! First time trying to string an MSD, and hopefully the last for awhile. One loop of elastic is strung through BOTH of her legs, thus ensuring that I have no way to remove said legs from lower body without cutting the elastic. Plus, her S-hooks are embedded in her feet, and the hook part is almost closed so no way to get the elastic off from THAT end without bending the hooks out of shape. I had to somehow shift the elastic around to get the knots down into her lower torso, because they WERE in her head, and I couldn't switch her eyes or even take her head off before.
Somehow, I managed to get everything shifted around properly and her head back on and her eyes switched out from her default pink acrylics, which are way too small, to a pair of 16mm blue glass that fit her MUCH better.

She doesn't look NEARLY as fish-faced as she used to. lol
