While much attention is given to the doll’s exterior, the internal parts—such as the skeleton and joints—also require proper care to ensure the doll remains functional and lifelike. Handling and maintaining these internal components with care will help preserve the overall quality of the doll.
To care for your doll’s internal parts, always handle the doll gently, particularly when adjusting the limbs or positioning the doll. Avoid putting excessive weight on any one part of the body, as this can cause stress on the internal skeleton and joints.
When it comes to the skeleton, use a silicone-safe lubricant to keep the joints and internal mechanisms functioning smoothly. This will prevent stiffness and squeaking and help the doll hold poses without strain. However, be cautious about using too much lubricant, as this can cause residue buildup on the doll’s skin.
Additionally, regularly inspect the joints and internal structure for signs of wear, such as loose or stiff areas. If you notice any issues, make sure to address them promptly—loose joints may need tightening, while stiff ones may benefit from more lubrication.
Lastly, avoid exposing the doll to extreme temperatures or harsh conditions, as this can affect the internal parts. Store your doll in a temperature-controlled environment, and always handle it with care to ensure its internal components remain in great condition for years to come.
