Do you have any damage on your dolls?

Yes I bumped my DC Bella on the glass door of the cabinet and she has a spot in her sealer. I'm not planning on selling her and so it doesn't really matter. I also had a connector in the hand of one of my dolls break from the force of the strings. I went to pick her up and her hand was laying next to her. I was very upset but it forced me to learn to restring the fingers in the hand and fashion a replacement ring.

 

There is one gash inside my DearSD Una's head from when I was prying her eyes out...you can't see it and it really does not cause any issues but I know it's there and feel bad for her

 

I'm kinda rough when it comes to posing, so there's always dents at the joint. I forget how soft resin can be!

 

My DC Hillary has a broken ear from dropping the head in the sink while cleaning it for a faceup.
My doll family Angel's chest is... Kinda ruined lol. I had done additive mods to give it boobs, and then later removed them with a scalpel like a barbarian (wrong way to do it I know, but I was depressed and frustrated). I'll probably try to even that out someday though.
And not my doll, but I dropped the sword of my partner's souldoll and it broken in half... And also the very tip broke and was never found again orz

 

I rubbed the blushing off the ears of my best boy by pulling his face-mask on and off too many times, lol. This same boy I stained his nose red when putting up a freshly painted mask to check it against his face, and somehow got paint on him. Had to take a Magic Eraser to his nose and I THINK it's fixed, though it looks a little pink some days...

 

Yes it’s a weird dye spots on the head cap when I was dying the head but I didn’t like the color I was getting. I removed the dye on the whole thing besides those two spots thankfully I can hide it with a wig so you can’t see it but it still bugs me. A few people told me to try and use a magic eraser or hand sand it. I’ll have to see if it works when I have the time

 

Some of their makeup is broken but all of good shape.

 

My Nono has a small scratch in her faceup but I don’t want to remove it and do a new one as it’s her original volks faceup! For her age though she mostly looks good

 

Mika's head is stained + damaged from various customization misadventures, mostly from the process of trying to attach her to a resin body. Franz's head has also been damaged in a way I don't really understand re: brush cleaner and dye repelling each other but I'm so attached to his character that I can't imagine myself ever selling the head.

 

Yes, but they're mostly little scratches inside the joints due to restringing and such and are not really noticeable.

 

Well, a doll I ordered from Mandarake was mistakenly not packaged correctly, and two fingers broke off. It was sad, but they glued back on.

I assume that all of my dolls have damage, though. My biggest frustration with S-hooks is that they scratch the resin around the joints, so just about all of my joints have tiny pits or scratched from the S-hooks. Some not-so-tiny. I like to swap around heads, hands, and feet from different companies to see what fits who - and it seems like no matter how careful I am, something gets scratched. Sigh. You'd think after 20 years, they would have come up with some sort of joint protection...

 

While trying to hook heeled feet onto my SD girl, I chipped her ankle, its minuscule and not even noticeable...but it serves as a reminder to not use chopsticks next time...I need to get a hook o_o"

 

Other than some mildly chipped or rubbed sealant, no damage that I know of! I'm protective of my dolls to the point that I rarely take them out of their boxes I'm working on building some courage to take them out more but the fear of damaging them is so strong.

 

I’ve got chipped face-ups galore over here lol. I had to re-attach three of my Luts centaur’s fingers after he fell over. My Dream Valley Scar also lost a few fingers after I accidentally dropped his own head own his body. My Resinsoul Mei has several bite marks from my cat who has since passed on, so I treasure those damaged hands now.

 

I've chipped a lot of noses and lost a few fingers.

 

Oh, this is so sweet!

 

My grail has uneven yellowing due to me being a derp and not realizing the sun was hitting her from the angle she was at.

 

Yes faceup. But I see faceup as consumable. I want to take my doll ,with me, take pictures and have fun with my dolls. When the faceup gets worn out, I let a faceup artist repaint. This only applies to my own dolls I am always very careful with other people's dolls so they are not harmed.

 

Most of my dolls are secondhand and some do have some stubborn stains, uneven yellowing, and very slight scratches that I couldn't remove, but other than that, everyone is in pretty good shape despite a few mishaps here and there by me. If it's faceup damage, some are faded or chipped, but nothing too bad that makes me want to remove it.

 

My first doll has a crack under the corner of his eye because I had put too much pressure on it the first time tried putting his head onto the body

Luckly you can't see it at all, because of his faceup, but I can still feel the crack when I run my finger over the spot.
