Is Callie’s head supposed to have dents?

For anyone who has done Callie, are these dents supposed to be there? There are like 4 different spots in her head that look like this.

Mine does not have that at all

Was it maybe against the flanges of the legs while in the box?

I just got it yesterday and washed it and it’s been sitting out to dry and I just noticed it. It looks like a defect in the vinyl.

I find that most of the time, these kind of dents will disappear after the vinyl is heated.

I use air dry paints so won’t be heating. The dents are pretty deep to so I’m not sure there is anyway to fix.

Try do dip the head in boiling water. I’ve read about that on this forum for fixing deformities.

I would do as suggested by Yelena…if it doesn’t work bb would need to replace it.

Thanks everyone!

Did you wash her in the dishwasher? A couple times I did that and where the head or limb touched the rack area it made a line.

Yes just try to heat it up and then it should reshape itself

No, just washed by hand. I will try to heat it a bit and see if that helps.

There were no dents in my Callie. Did yours have a heavy chemical smell? Just wondering if the batches were the same.

I had a leg once that had a terrible crease in it from a heavy box accidentally being sat down on it. (For weeks before I realized it.) I though for sure it was ruined.

I put it in boiling water and then stuffed the leg to reinforce the shape and it helped tremendously. I left it to sit for a few days. I think it helped most that it cooled in the re-formed shape.
