Chalyss restrung
She can sit now! Properly! Without her knees turning outward like they were broken with sledgehammers!
I'd already switched around her stringing to the traditional half loop from the crossed-inner thigh stringing Impl sent her with (which made her always want to cross her legs), and today I did it again as suggested by the Almighty Fishcake. Now the legs are strung separately from the torso and it WORKS. It works GREAT!
Fish cautioned about the floppy leg syndrome but mine doesn't have it, which could be because of the thickness of the string which is either 4mm or 5mm. I had to go down a size for the torso as the string was a bit too thick for the head hole. I changed it out but the biggest improvement there was the easier movement in the torso joint which is now functional. I couldn't use it before!
All in all, the new system works beautifully, she is now sooooo much more poseable and the action figure she's supposed to be! So now I will advocate restringing an Impl Idol and Star woman before chucking the imposeable beast out the window! THANK YOU FISHCAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are a dolly life saver!! (and Dolly Mama sanity saver!)
I took lots of pics and I am sharing them ALL. I am just that happy!
