(Good news!) HELP! I AM FREAKING OUT.
« on: December 18, 2012, 05:57:55 PM »
UPDATE! I asked the Dutch Tangkou seller if she could sell me a new leg since she sells Tangkou bodies, and she offered it to me for free. I am so grateful to her, and to all of you on the MLP Arena and Flickr for your advice and kind words. Pressley is going to be better soon!

I broke my baby. My Pressley's foot is broken. She's a Tangkou, and I can't find any Tangkou parts or bodies for sale. Do you know any places where I can buy Tangkou parts? Should I just rebody her all together? If so, what body do I get?

Please please help. This is my favorite doll, and I feel like such a bad doll mom for breaking her. I'm desperate beyond belief.

How did her foot break? Can you post some photos? Have you tried anything to fix her yourself?

I would email the owner of tangkoudoll.com and ask about spare parts/bodies. When I contacted her she was very nice, and even sent me the correctly colored accessories (since I had no idea they were random) along with France's stock and wig. Unless ownership has changed I imagine she'd be willing to sell you a new body or parts if she can.

The ball joint is snapped off.
I will try contacting her. Thank you for your advice.

Oh wow, yikes! D:

Hopefully she can help you. If she can't, I'd probably go for an Obitsu so no Liv has such a light skintone. I think Obitsu has an at least close color, but I'm not totally sure since I've never bought or owned one myself.

here is a group for Tangkou dolls on Flickr and Ive seen some people say this happened to them. If you have Flickr maybe ask for advice in the group or look through group discussions but firstly as Taxel said email them first as Ive heard they are very helpful :)

-_- Aw man. If you can't, like they said above, Obitsu. Obitsus are probably more durable anyway and, if you felt like it, you could change her chest size. Her original body looks a lot like a Momoko...wonder what the chances of finding a loose one are.
