HerrZog's Gray Soom Beryl

  HerrZog (Anna) is selling some of her Soom dolls, one of them being this glorious gray HOOVED Beryl. The later releases of Beryl sometimes did not have hooves, when I got Petra, she didn't come with her full set because she was an abandoned order.  HerrZog's came directly from Soom, with *both* heads, feet, hooves and horns, on the new body.

Once I got her untangled from the pillows, I stood her up and discovered that her arms could not be raised above her head. If you get a body like this DO NOT FORCE THE ARMS. While Soom has reinforced that part of the arm (at least on this Beryl) you will crack it if you pull on it. The fix is easy--for some reason Soom puts 3mm elastic in there and that is too large--it completely stuffs up the joints. So you need to carefully tug off a wristball, unstring the arms, and restring them with 2mm elastic, with a loop about 23 cm from side t...
