Omega :
(topic split from other thread)
I got a cuddle model Didina. She is very nice to sleep with. My only complaint is that if you pick her up, her head lols to the side like her neck is broken. Perhaps there should be an option for a partial spine to keep her head straight when she is on top.
I also have a Palomina super model, but the leg “bones” means she doesn’t cuddle very well.

It's not that hard to stiffen her neck Omega. Just make a small hole in the top of her head and stick a 2 foot plastic pipe in it. Put the hole a bit to one side so the mouth tunnel doesn't get in the way. You might want to anchor the pipe from the top in some way so it doesn't slide down.

I’ve been considering something like that. I thought of using a section of pool noodle (closed cell foam) so it would be stiff, but not rigid. I also thought about going in through the bottom of the mouth hole and anchoring it to that tube so it can’t fall.

Pool noodle is a great idea! Right size and shape 👍

I'm not trying to cheat Robert out of $50 bucks but a simple winter hat/skull cap fixes that problem.
Empty the stuffing out of the neck. Push the hat into the neck area. Fill the hat full of stuffing until stiff.
The stuffed hat acts as a diaphragm isolating the stuffing to where it actually mocks the outline of a neck muscle. Fill the rest of the head.

Pool noodle is good, but the plastic pipe thing only takes a minute to do 👍

If you have head fill opening I think its easy.
I will test in future.

One can probably ask Robert for a small hole about an inch across on top of the head for a pipe to go in.

Since I already have Didi and she does not have the fill option, my plan is to double a piece of foam pipe insulation (can’t find pool noodles in the US this time of year) and secure it with zip ties. I’ll make a slit just large enough for the “neck spine” in the bottom of the mouth tunnel, and insert the spine. I’ll then close the slit with a whip stitch and make sure the thread goes through the top of the spine to keep it in place. I’m using the foam instead of pipe because I want her to have some neck flexibility, and it would be tougher to keep a pipe in place. I have the thread now, so I will probably do her “surgery” this weekend.
