Yes, she is a Gene type Madra. The picture part I am not too great at. But I will try.

It's really hard to tell, I know that my husband once fixed Violet's elbow by drilling a tiny hole and adding a pin. I don't know if that will work though.

I remember reading something a long time ago about this being a problem with certain Madra dolls. Something about the doll's socket being drilled too large when made. I'd try Gigi's maybe as they seem to know a fair bit about Gene dolls and they do repair work. Might cost you less just to find her a new body though honestly. Bodies do show up on Ebay and the Doll Page all the time and it's not hard to pop a head off one so long as you remember to heat it first. A new body might cost you $25-40 depending upon how articulated it is whereas a repair would probably cost you a lot more.

Excellent. So just wave a hot blow dryer until its pliable and wiggle off?
