Reply to John Baker's Post: as for opening the head area---not a problem as the neck is not attached to the cloth body (it came to me to be repaired) I do alterations on clothing and make clothes ( I have a masters in costumetheatre design) and this customer gave me this doll to repair and I noticed that the head was wobbly and would not hold in a set position. I know that the head is supposed to be able to be posed in any given angle, but the "cord/wire" holding the head to the neck is loose. So how would you suggest to tighten the cord/wire?
