See, that was just stupid

It was a good price and if I didn't buy it, someone else would have. Chewed feet don't bother me since most of my dolls are in hose or shoes and almost all of my childhood dolls have chewed feet. "No bangs" were not a problem since I don't like bangs anyway and there doesn't look to be a noticeable bald patch where bangs would have been. The missing lower arm just seemed like a bonus point since the Dainty Biscuit Puppet Face Horror Show was going to get a mechanical arm like the Loongsoul limited edition so I already had the parts for that. And she has a perfect, perfect face, that had been NRFB until she fed the doll to her purse dog.

So now, aside from securing some loose hair plugs and cleaning up her non-NRFB eyeballs, should I replace the arm with the mechanical arm entirely? Or from the elbow down? Or replace the body entirely with a Takara or ADG or Licca one? Or replace the arm with another doll arm as a restoration? Or take the arm out and pin up the loose sleeve like a war vet? I just hope she arrives in one piece in the same condition she left. The agreement to purchase took two emails and the discussion of shipment & insurance took NINE (and counting), from a U.S. seller. Fingers crossed.
