#super7 hyacinth hippo

Fixed! @oak23 Thank you for saying it's how He-man figures are repaired; when I looked that up the tutorial gave the exact screw part size and number and it worked perfectly for this. Threaded some small flat elastic through the body (NOT EASY!) and through the eye screw, then tied it as tight as I could. She has good articulation though I'm not sure how well it matches the original ball; perhaps rather better in some directions.

Some yosd sized shoes fit over her sculpted shoes, as well as *le gasp* Glitter Girls skates!!!

And she is very much a head accessories kind of doll. Er, figure. Whatever. I don't know why I accumulate so many dolls without hair but here we are.

Sigh. I was looking forward to getting the Super7 figure of Hyacinth Hippo all day. Then I immediately broke her neck off trying to swap heads. I didn't think I tugged that hard, it was more of an exploratory pull to get a feel for how much heat to apply. And it snapped right off. Dammit.

I'm tempted to install a bar in her head and tie it on with elastic. Oh!! Maybe a screw eye?? Straight into her super dense head vinyl. Oh yeah I'm going to try that.

This head is just sitting on top of the body for now. You can probably see that its movement is way too extreme to actually be clicked onto anything 😅 Might as well enjoy this faux poseability while I can. 😅😅😅

Bad streak of migraines + slightly manic + no sleep and sick kiddo ...

You may have guessed I impulse-purchased a doll thing.

The Super7 Ultimates figure of Hyacinth Hippo. It's currently like half off on Amaz*n.
