Today was photoshoot day for my more fragile Madame Alexander Alexander-kin and, well, there were some casualties.
I call this photo "50 year old rubber bands don't last forever"

She's a lot lighter and feels a bit cheaper than the brunette Alexander-kin. The brunette has a significant weight to her (compared to her size) and feels expensive. In case any of that helps at all. I also took this to show her hooks a little better.
Edit: After looking at her legs and what I can see inside her torso, I think she may be a walker.

She's in really good shape, aside from the face yellowing and her loose joints. Should I just find a doll hospital when I can? Does anyone have any suggestions for a trustworthy one? At most I'd want her arms fixed, general restringing, basic cleaning, and maybe some de-yellowing on the face if that's possible without touching the paint at all.
