The first few Superior Blythes (pow wow poncho, superior skate date, silver snow, velvet minuet) released by takara were manufactured with an extra-long T-bar, causing them to look slightly “down.”
To correct this effect, remove the T-bar from inside her head.
By sanding or cutting about 1mm off of the end of the T-bar, her eyes will rest in a higher position when her string is pulled.

How do I know what kind of doll I have? I just bought A Prima Dolly Ashlett. I love to do some changes with her and want to make sure her eyes are right.
Thanks
Shelly
Hi. I have a FAO Hollywood who I wished had boggled eyes. I notice boggled eyes look more upwards than non-boggled eyes. If I follow the gaze correction steps, do you think it would make my Hollywood’s eyes look boggled? (I realize boggled eyes means that no lid is showing, but she already has no lid showing). Thank you.
Hi ana,
I just responded to your other comment, but maybe I didn’t really get what you were describing.
if your hollywood looks down but has no lid showing (sounds unusual - do you have a picture?) then you would follow the procedure of gaze correction (shortening the T bar a tiny bit) to fix that. you don’t need to boggle because it sounds like she is already not showing any lid, and over-boggling leads to her eye mechanism showing from the bottom of her eye, which is quote unsightly.
Melissa~ Thanks very much for responding. That clears up a few things for me.
I just purchased an ADG redhead, and she seems to have the downward gaze. Will this method of correction work for her?
robin - yes. the internal mechanism of an adg is essentially the same.
i have a lovely little enchanted petal girl named ever. she seems to have a real downward look. no one mentions her when they talk about this, do you think this would work for her? i’m not ready to work on her, i am just asking for when i am… thanks!
What happens if you cut the T bar down too much? Does that cause her eyes to look way up?
Thanks
