TE Locket Help!
« on: June 29, 2012, 05:25:59 AM »
Hi!

I recently bought Locket and she has some issues I can handle exept her eyes; they are somehow bent in?

Have anybody came across this type of flaw? Help! She is otherwise in great shape but her eyes are weird!

I just can't find courage to try to bent the eyes back...

Thanks!

My Locket has the exact same problem, and I think it's a common problem for TE Locket to have. I still find her lovable and stunning but it is disappointing and I am looking to upgrade =/ How bad are they bent in? Mines livable, but I've seen her look down right cross eyed.

Shes not cross eyed but they are little bent..

Well, I just have to live with it and try to find upgrade  :(

Weird, is it because her pose? Is she the only TE in that pose? Don't remember...

Just my luck, she doesn't even have cancer or anything else but then she has to have those wonky eyes.. ¤%%&/!"¤%

Thats what I was thinking. I think also, it may happen to any TE lockey if you put her eyes between your fingers and squeeze. I don't think her eyes are set quite the same, but I could be wrong. But I've seen it. Do you have pics of her?

That's a normal problem for most Lockets. Rarely will you find one with eyes properly set in just nice. Even if you do find one with nice eyes, there's a chance that the body has these bright pink discolouration spots.

Yeah,m thats the issue. Yours looks a lot worse than mine though >< Such a shame, Locket is such a precious girl.

Does the head pop off? Maybe you can try to thumb the crystals back into a better place? Hot water? pressure? Maybe, I mean, yours looks in need of some restoration so maybe it's worth a try!

I'm going to restore her  ;) All Lockets I have seen have those orange dots but this one haven't that was what I meant about her being in good condition.. Would order from Dollyhair but it seems they are out of nearly everything..

I'm going to try heat her head and then pop the eyes back..

I hope she won't get hurt  :cry:

Yes, I have heard a lot of people have the same issue with her unfortunately - it must be something to do with the pose and the mould and the way the eyes have to be set for them. Yes, she is the only TE in this pose hence perhaps why she is the TE the problem occurs with.

You could try removing her head, gently pushing her eyes out and filling her head with some boiling water to see if that softens the mould back into its original position. Good luck! Cant wait to see her when she is all restored...oh and dollyhair has a UK based re-seller who sometimes has stock on some items that she may currently be out of - they ship Europe wide I believe http://www.mylittlecustoms.com/
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:

My Locket has eyes that have been pushed in as well. I didn't know it was so common, even though I knew it was a factory error... that is interesting.

I had to run to take a look at my Locket!

You're right! :O The left eye on mine is bent in a bit on one side. But other than that she's perfect, so it's not so bad...

I never knew this problem existed with Lockets. I've had my Locket since I picked her up at a yard sale when I was young. She has no discoloration and her eyes are perfect. Her only downfall is her hair. Never been able to get it none poofy (she looks more like a powder puff pony than a TE xD).

I sold two Lockets with the same issue; it is a common problem, unfortunately.
