Just take some 12 gauge wire, cut it the legnth of his legs and arms, and cram it in there. No un-stringing
necessary.
What all is wired, just the arms and legs?
What I did is:
Remove the head and chest, leaving the lower torso and the legs.
Cut a length of wire, double the size of your dolls legs
Bend it in half
Stick it inside the hole on the lower torso, and make it go though the leg holes
Re-string the doll
VOILA!
For SDs and up use 12 gauge wire, and double if needed.
For MSDs use 14 gauge wire. For VERY SMALL openings (as in the wrist joints of BBB Luna/Lotus use coated florist wire.
For tinies use from 20 down to 24 gauge wire OR for the tiniest tinies use coated florist wire or pipe cleaners.
Once the wire is in there, you are good, the only time you might need to change it is if through repeated bending of the joint it breaks.
You can find perfect wire in the AUTOMOTIVE section of most WallMarts. If you don't like the black/red coating, take surgical (adhesive) tape and wrap it.
