I wasn't really happy when my new 70 cm Yue from Dollzone popped the main stabilizer he had in his chest. It left him with a permanent slouch and a tendency to bite anyone who tried to fix said slouch. Kiki-chan was visiting when it happened and the two of us tried several things to re-affix the stabilizer in place (including hot glue and zap-a-gap) but none of them could hold very long against the tension of the doll's stringing. (He came to me from Dollzone strung REALLY tight and I think that might have contributed to the stabilizer popping in the first place.) I don't know what Dollzone used to affix that piece, but it wasn't like anything we could get our hands on that summer so I set the doll aside for a while until I could think of a better way to fix the stabilizer.
Recently, when I was moving my brood I found that another one of my dolls has developed a similar problem. The doll in question is a completely different than critter than the Yue, though. He's a 60 cm (barely, dude's small!) AngelRegion Tanning Kai who wasn't in the best shape when he came to me, but the abuse was mostly to the poor thing's face and not his body. Apparently, though, whatever AngelRegion used to fix the top of his leg (think hipish) to the thigh (why they needed two pieces when it's a non-moving joint is beyond me) has come apart as well. Also, unlike the Yue, he has never been tightly strung and is cuddly, floppy guy.
So this leads me to think maybe the pieces coming loose might be more common than I thought and not just a slight flaw/weakness in the new Dollzone body. Has anyone else had a problem like this? If so, how did you fix/deal with it? Below are some pics of the joints in question to help out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
