Restringing a BJD part 1

[wateramadahy]

I love how you put Michael Jackson in the background X'3 Thanks.(: Can we also use this technique on other dolls?

[MiKaKo22]

@mazjo6 Question, why dont people start restringing from the second torso bit and when the feet are on both legs, pull the u part (top of) elastic through the the top torso part and the neck, would'nt it be easier?

[SynestheticSoul]

You have a Volks Chii. I am so jealous of you right now.

[alluceo]

The most awful video which when - or saw! Well, first, on a floor! It is not so aesthetic! Secondly, with such claws, only a doll and to collect! Especially, to hold flat-nose pliers! It is not surprising, that at it the elastic band was some times broken! And, then... Lady, foreshortenings Distracts! It was easier to be removed to it separately! And, hands and a doll as collect, separately!

[tiamira]

Was it hard to learn how to?

[loregorexx]

The doll to the right of Chii, where did you get his clothes at???

[DreamingSquid]

So glad to find a tutorial on a Volks body!! Took my guy apart for the first time after watching several non-Volks tutorials, and there was that weird, narrow waist part! Ack!!! This was so helpful...thanks! :D

[sequence013]

[melodinsky]

[freya1924]

If you're in the USA you can order from Volks USA.

[shaystar17]

I lvoe yoru CHobits bjd!

[GryffindorGirl21]

How would you know when you need to restring a doll?

[ElysionGear]

if it's too floppy or too tight.....

[darkmattersunshine]

do you need to restring them? cuz a lot of people are like "ive had mine since.. whenever and i dont want to restring it" so is it something you do often?

[poptropicaobsessed]

OMG OMG! U HAV CHII!!!!!!!

Where u get her!

[jacosnacks]

Wow you do that so quick, I've had my girl nearly two years and I'm still too scared to restring her lol.

[leinse]

where do i get those dolfies..?

(and i live somewhere in miami, FL

[mariolenka]

CuppyCakeSugarPlum I love too Chi.. She's so sweet ^^

[shilysian]

[shilysian]

very helpful is still new about dollfie, but fast falling in love, got a SD and a petdone at the moement, got a few more to go before i complete my familt

[CuppyCakeSugarPlum]

omg chii in the background <3

[crimsonbutterfly23]

But the kid is not my son! ...ha ha. This is a good tutorial, I'm not so scared of restringing my boy once I get him(and I'm probably gonna have to too. darn Dolkot bodies >.>) That leg looks like it's a pain in the ass o.o

[lamorenita638741]

did the arms come attached to the chest when you bought it???

[angelikkittykat]

Where do you get the elastic to do this at?

What are you using to pull the string through with? Fishing line? thin metal?

[nami233]

O.o maby its gunna be harder then i thought! >.<''' well this is VERY helpfull to ppl like me *had no clue where to even start* ^.^; lol ^.^ thannx so much! *runs off to watch second part* +fav

[mazjo6]

not a prob im glad it helped ^_^

[dollhoard66]

I definitely relate to that bit of trouble you were having with that leg. :-) While stringing isn't hard, it can be frustrating sometimes.

[mazjo6]

lol thats def true

[o0Yugioh0o]

Where or how can i get one? how much are they? i want one!

[freedumb34]

They cost 400$ to sometimes 1000$.

[neiglesias]

@freedumb34 sometimes more. I have 3 that were $1500 each.

[goiffes]

this is very helpful!! but what exactly are the things you put on? after you string on the lower leg you put on what looks to be a little ball looking thing, what is it, and what's it do (is it to allow the foot to move?)? btw, I love the random music and the TV on in the background!! XDDD

[angelikkittykat]

That's part of the doll and yes, ti is for that purposes.

[Cigma44]

oooh!!! i see rory beside chi and your smallest one wearing the orange, is that rok wearing the blue something outfit???

[Ultima2876]

You have Chi! Cool Points + 10

[BennyFrank08]

I have to restring my doll badly..but that looks like a pain in the neck! But I'm definately giving it a try! It makes more sense now! Thanks so much for sharing with us!

[ilikepieee]

ahaha nice video :3

an off topic question, but, by the adverts in the background i can tell you live in the UK. xD where abouts do you live?

[mazjo6]

Hi

I live in South London. UK

[ObsidianAvalon]

Oh dear god,are those ALL of your dolls? I am so jealous. I only have one from dollzone! *Is a beginner*

[mazjo6]

Thanks, Yes they are, tho ive been collecting since 2003, and love every one. :)

[ObsidianAvalon]

*Came* When I got Yuri from Dollzone,his head had popped off because the box was kicked around andh e had all come apart. Me being new,I thought he was broken,so I BAWLED my eyes out. Then my dad came in with a coat hanger and we had a half an hour of bonding time as we put him back.

This REALLY helps,I can fix them now XD *Got a second one a week ago*

[Starfindergirl15]

I have rozen maiden shinku. You must be a pro to have these dolls!And where can you buy accecories?

[KeannaRoar]

I cringe when I watch this, even though I know the resin is fine with restringing. O.o;; I would be afraid to restring a BJD- for all the horrible stretching and bumping of pieces!

Thank you for showing us how its done!

[mazjo6]

i, its not so hard really, tho remember my 1st time, and boy was I scared lol ^_^

[recowa]

Thanks! I know my Dana will need to be done one day..n.n
