As you can see the Picco Neemo body is very small compared to a standard Pure Neemo Flexion body.Some of the joints are the same, some are different. The standard size feels sturdy and strong. Picco Neemo is so small it feels very fragile. I also have optional hands for both dolls. I’ve never seen such beautiful articulation that is also so small! In the last pictures she is conquering her original rubber bendy body.

 What I finally ended up doing is taking a spare neck peg I had from another project, inserting a cut nail into it. I carefully filed the peg piece to fit into the neck socket of the head. This time I used a different glue, Super Glue 5 minute epoxy. This stuff holds very well and has a bit of flexibility. It does smell horrible when you mix the two materials. Then I put some of that super glue epoxy on it and this gives it the perfect amount of friction so it isn’t loose and can hold a pose. I also used the same stuff to glue the nail into the neck socket. Her neck hole does not lead into the body, it’s just a small closed off cylindrical socket. She can move her head almost as well as the original. More pics of the new body will be in a future post.

The idea is that once we get moved into the Gingerbread Dollhouse (an old Victorian), I'll have the space required to put together their home. It's shaping up into a boarding school type of place in my head, so we'll see what comes of it!
