This little doll arrived for a simple restringing and a wig spruce up.
Sometimes, what was supposed to be simple, turns out not to be.
Someone has glued the head onto the body. It is supposed to swivel.
The head gets removed successfully.
The wig comes off next.....and out falls a metal doodad.This doodad is the metal part of an eye rocker. This doll once had sleep eyes.
The eyes have been glued into their sockets, probably after the eye rocker broke?
Why not try to get the rocker fixed so the eyes can sleep again?
Fortunately, the glue used was water soluable. So with some water applied, the eyes could get removed.
One of the eye plasters got dislodged during that process though.
After a few tries and a lot of fiddling, the eye rocker is back together.
Then the eye rocker gets installed into the head.
Next several hair extensions are added to her original wig.
She is ready to go home.
