Maintenance The S hook in the wrist is stuck

Aug 1, 2022

    1. Hi, i just recently got my miracle doll mad rabbit and the wrists immediately gave me trouble. One side was difficult to pull out and it was clear that it was scraping the resin on the inside, but the other wouldnt come out at all and i think it might be bent too far out or twisted in a way that is stuck in the forearm part... I have no idea how to deal with this problem. Its all with the hook itself and tension doesnt have any effect, and im afraid of damaging anything...
       
    2. Oh man, it sucks when the hooks get stuck inside the doll :horror: The best thing to do is de-string the arms if you are able to remove the hook from one side. It'll be a lot easier to pull the hook out when there is no tension on the elastic. As for getting the hook out, it may be a case of trying a few different things like needle nose pilers or using the elastic or something like a strong skewer/ piece of wire to push it out.

      Btw, also something to check is where the arm elastic's knot is. I had a situation where I couldn't pull the hand piece out and it turned out the knot had gone in the arm causing it to jam! ;)

    3. It took a concerning amount of force but its free! Thank you! I think the forearm itself was slightly tighter on that side. Think im not going to trust these hooks and get new ones haha! And i'll keep track of the arm knot for the future, didnt think about that being an issue
       
    4. I'm so glad you were able to sort the problem out! I hope you can find some s-hooks that work better for him. You might need to use some pilers to close the end of hook on the elastic up so they can't dig into the resin and get jammed again.
      And yeah, i never thought about the knot getting into the arm and causing a problem until it happened :XD:
