My Pullip doll's left arm fell off. How do I re-attach it and have it still bend normally?

Question

My Pullip [Rida] broke. I've had her for about 5 months. The first day I had her, her left arm fell off. I'm not quite sure how to fix it, what to use, or if that arm will ever work again. She did cost a lot of hard earned money and would be terribly dissapointed if she was permanently broken. Please try and help! Any suggestions at all are greatlly appreciated!

Answer 1

I'm not sure if type threes (the type of body your Rida has) have removable limbs like the previous body, so assuming there is a peg, and it's not broken, just pop it back in! You could also get a replacement obistu body here:

Your best bet on color matching is the "white" skintone since Rida is on the paler end of the dolly-spectrum.

Good luck on fixing your pullip!

Answer 2

I don't know if Pullip's are strung dolls or not, if she's a strung doll it's an easy fix. Whatever you do, don't use glue! I would suggest finding a website for Pullip collectors and ask there.

Answer 3

If the peg is still on the arm, just pop it back in! If it's completely broken, I suggest going onto pullipstyle.com and buying her a new body for like...19$?

Answer 4

just sit her down and talk to her about the options available.
it is better to be honest and say the full use of the arm will never be attainable but with some Elmer's glue, she might recover 30 to 40 % of normality.
life is tough, sometimes you just gotta deal with the tragedies and go on the best you can.

Answer 5

Depend on how the arm is broken, pop it back in, or, if the doll is plastic use liquid plastic (check at hobby stores, esp. ones that sell kits to make model planes, ships, etc.), if its wood, use wood glue, etc.

Answer 6

send it back to the company and have it repaired

Answer 7

you maybe able to order replacement parts from ebay..
