Quick Answer

To install DD Option Hands, gently pull the current hand off the wrist peg, align the new hand's hole with the peg, and press firmly until seated. Choose the correct hand size and color for your Dollfie Dream body.

Why Hand Size and Color Matter

DD Option Hands come in different sizes to match various Dollfie Dream body types. Using the wrong size may result in a loose fit or difficulty attaching the hand. Always check the compatible body list on the product page before purchasing.

Color matching is also important. DD hands are available in several skin tones. Compare the hand color to your doll's current hands or body to ensure a seamless look. If you're unsure, order a sample or stick with a neutral tone that blends easily.

Step-by-Step Hand Swap Guide

  1. Step 1: Remove the current hand: Hold the doll's forearm firmly with one hand. With the other hand, gently wiggle the hand side-to-side while pulling it away from the wrist peg. Do not twist or yank forcefully, as this can break the peg. If the hand is stuck, warm it with a hair dryer on low heat for a few seconds to soften the vinyl.
  2. Step 2: Align the new hand: Take the new DD Option Hand and locate the hole on the palm side. Position it so the thumb faces the correct direction (usually forward or to the side, depending on the pose). Slide the hole over the wrist peg until it starts to grip. Check the hand orientation against the doll's other hand to avoid a backward installation.
  3. Step 3: Press the hand into place: Push the hand firmly onto the peg until it sits flush against the wrist. You should feel a slight click or resistance when fully seated. Avoid pressing at an angle, as this can stress the peg or hand socket. If the hand feels loose after pressing, it may be the wrong size. Remove and try a different hand size.
  4. Step 4: Test movement and pose: Gently rotate the hand and fingers to ensure the wrist joint moves freely. Pose the hand as desired (pointing, idol gesture, etc.) and check that it stays in place without slipping. If the hand rotates too easily, it may need a tighter fit. Consider using a tiny amount of clear silicone grease on the peg for friction.
