I am made of fail!
Several levels of it. After repeatedly attempting to put Aki's head back together, I was stumped as to why her eyelid refuses to close. It works when I push it from the inside, but not with the eyelevers. After the nth time of attempting, scraping the paint, repainting and stuff, I realized that during my first clean up attempt (I sanded off her pink eyelid paint), I filed off a bit of the peg that's supposed to go into one of the grooves. Hence the inability of the eyelid to swing shut cleanly. I know, I know. It doesn't make sense unless you (1) own pullips, (2) fiddle with them but the bottomline is:
I stupidly made a massive failed experiment and am now scratching my head on how to make her eyelids work again without having to buy new ones. I plan to resculpt the peg with epoxy, I'm just not sure it'll work. I can put her back together, worse case scenario, but her left eyelid just won't be able to close anymore, if I fail with resculpting.
Anyway, I'll try fixing it myself (I just needed to vent, really) but if anyone on my Flist has spare pullip eyelids lying around, I'd be glad to buy them. I need her left eye...the one on the right side if you're looking at it.
