My bluefairy has the thing where the headcap is supposed to attach to the s-hook that holds the leg elastic.

I took one look at that when I was assembling her and went oh HELL naw. And then I took a small piece of elastic (her arm elastic was too long so I used a scrap from that, but you could use a rubber band or a rubber hairtie folded in two or whatever), looped it through the leg elastic, and used one of the spare hand s-hooks that came with her to attach it to the headcap. So rather than the headcap being attached to the leg elastic, it's hooked to a smaller elastic looped through the leg elastic. So basically what the_impassive said.

It works great, too. Her headcap is on just tight enough that it doesn't flop around, but it's really easy to pop her head open when I feel like it. It also allows me to slide her headcap back without being all OMG SHE WILL CHIP because the tension on the headcap is minimal.

I keep telling people I'll take a picture of it, but it's really hard to see what's going on in there because her head is so small and full of things.
