I ordered the 143cm Kiria doll on June 17th and it arrived 10 days later.
Only had the doll 18 days and it is now 50lbs of wobbly tpe.
The was my first doll so i wasnt sure what to expect. I really couldnt believe how tight the thigh to hip joints were. It really took a lot to move the legs but i got used to it and figured it was a benifit for a standing doll.
Last friday night i went to adjust the right leg of the doll and heard something snap. I though it was just one joint at first but it feels like the whole hip seperates. The left and right leg as well as the torso all flex independent of eachother now.
Needless to say im really disappointed that j just spent 400 dollars and more (accessories and clothes) on a doll that i will probably have to toss in the garbage after only 18 days of being in possession of it.
I have and email into David and hope they will do be right by me.
Has anyone else experienced a total hip failure?
How does MLD handle defects?
I have heard people getting discounts on next order (which isnt great) curious how much discount did they provide?
Thanks
Look at diagram. Broken wrld.
Apparently, broken hips are a common problem. I just bought a doll from rlsd. Same thing, after only a couple of weeks, hip joint broke. RLSD is refusing to offer a replacement or refund. You're lucky. I spentv$2,000 on my doll.
My 143's right hip broke only after owning her for about 2 months, other than that I've not had any problems with the 3 other MLDs that I own. I am very leary about buying any more dolls from this company now. I have had no problems with the 11 other dolls I own only the 143 cm MLD.
Hi it might be able to be repaired but takes a good deal of time! Re: hip at upper leg area, they can have a vagina cut made inside and hip/leg rod can be rebolted together
but afterwords leg may only moved up/down and might have more swivel up/down but at least useable, then a new vagina insert can be installed about $10-15 & up.I was surprised to find 2 models I had bought have no waterproof ball internally and can collect or build rust water thats trapped, So I installed a rubber paddle ball in them, at front end of vagina.
I haven't had problems with hips so far but I own an Isabella with both elbows broken which I attributed to rough use even she was mostly a bed warmer. Then my 135 Anna who is only used for modeling costumes developed a wet noddle for the left elbow which has me annoyed. They need to upgrade the skeletons in these girls.
