I have been looking for a body donor for Curtis for awhile. As you can see he has suffered some cracking.
Yes, it happen on the other side too. Of course I was able to glue the pieces back in place but I decided not to attach his legs back. I was hoping to find a nice articulate body, I think he deserve one. So I will surf the net to find one from time to time. In the meantime there was a body sitting in the doll box I decided to use.
Curtis: "Hello Everyone!. I'll blame my injuries on the wedding me and Cara attended. I can work with this body. I see no difference. Let me show you."
Curtis: "No problem doing push-ups!"
Curtis: "Even a handstand is easy."
Curtis: "Jumping jacks are a cinch!"
Curtis: "See no problem. What do you think?"
Glad you found another body that fits Curtis. He looks and acts as good as new. Has he been drinking Red Bull or something?

I let Muff know I was channeling you and her! What glue to use and how to dye plastic dolls. I still might try it too. When you posted that you did I know that might be Curtis fate. I'm just clad he can sit and bend knees now. I was always wondering if this would be the day he falls ab apart. I knew it was possible to fix him so I just had to.
DeleteI'm glad too that at least he won't be around body-less!
ReplyDeleteHe came close Verona, real close! Luckily we know to keep spare dolls around because we never know.
DeleteWell, at least he has a new body for now, even if it's not articulated. He's still looking good!
ReplyDeleteYes, it works for him. I can do more with him too! Now I don't have to worry about little noises when I want him to sit.
DeleteCurtis is looking good on his replacement body. I'm sure he'll appreciate his articulated body when you find one for him.
ReplyDeleteI hope I can find one too. It will e a strech due to the age of the doll, but hey a girl can always hope!
DeleteCurtis must have been very active in his old body 'cause those are some serious cracks. I wish I knew a way to simply open doll bodies without damaging them.
ReplyDeleteHey Muff, I was channeling you and DGB. I knew you would have the info on the clue and DBG would the info on dying dolls. I still working on my must have tools!
DeleteThat older body can be a problem. I have a Curtic I put on a Brad body. The complexions match up well. I hope you find an articulated body for him. I am looking for one too! I have a couple of Mattle AA men that could use a articulated body!
ReplyDeleteMs. Leo you know he is the oldest one I have. I never would have him sitting to much because I knew he would crack one day. Unfortunatly that day had come. I glued the pieces back but he going to atay on this body for now. If I find a body, trust me I will let you know A.S.A.P!!
DeleteHello from Spain: I hope you find the right body for Curtis. I see that he is a very athletic man. Congratulations for the pictures. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteI hope so too! He has a lot of energy! It might take sometime to find one but that how it goes.
DeleteLOL, glad you could get him fixed...Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm kinda weary putting him back on his original body. We'll see how he holds up.
DeleteVery nice match. Sorry to hear about Curtis body cracking body. I hope you are able to find him an articulated body.
ReplyDeleteI was always weary about him sitting down bwcause I new it was going to happyen. I just didn't think it would happen while I was changing is clothes! I just added him to my treasure hunt list.
DeleteI hate when my old favorites show their age. I cracked the neck of my wavey haired Janay doll and can't win or find a suitable replacement. I would love to give her articulation but I havet seen many dark skinned articultated bodies. Im glad you were able to find a body for Curtis. I hope you find his perfect match soon.
ReplyDeleteIt's always hard find darker bodies to match dolls we have in our collections. I was always looking but could never find one. I figured I better use one I got. One day I will find one, one day!
