Is this a reasonable option? Can it damage the dolls? I've read that this is a common way to store dolls. Where can I find a site that sells hooks that are compatible with MLD models? Thanks
I store mine wrapped up in their blankets with their legs up & folded in large storage bins. Could stack if i detatched the heads. Luckily my closet is wide & deep enough to store 2 bins and stack atleast 2 on top of each
@Loverofdolls215 What kind of bins do you use? I have one doll and another on the way so I will need to get creative with storage. I unfortunately threw away the box for my first doll, but I am considering keeping the other box to store her in.
@Snebodo large tote bins with the lids.. i i donated clothing i had stored in it once i realised my 145 cm jennifer would fit in it. I even lay a pillow in it so her butt doesnt flatten that sits on the bottom.
I bought a $10 hook meant for hanging dolls like ours on Amazon for $10. Some sites charge up to $75 for the same thing. I think hanging is the safest so far for me so far. The limbs can stay in a neutral position and there's no stress on joints to cause creases etc... and also the skin won't get stained if it's hanging nude and not touching anything. Just take the head off and insert the new bolt with loop into the neck and hang it on the hook. I sometimes wrap the pink blanket we know and love around it for extra protection. Make sure the hanging rod can support the weight. I'm still learning a lot, just my two cents.
I've never done it, but heard it's not good on goosenecks, but others say they have no problems.
