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 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.
You could even toss some clothing in ot over the doll in the bin if you are looking to hide the doll. I get my 4 year old on the weekends & cant just have hanging around headless in a closet 🤦🏾♂️💀💀💀😆
@Loverofdolls215 that is awesome to know about the bin, I seen some bins today at Walmart for trees and thought that would be good to have except it was a few inches shorter than the lady i have coming tomorrow, now i seen this i have all kinds of new ideas, Thank You!

I've never done it, but heard it's not good on goosenecks, but others say they have no problems.
