Using a pocket knife and a thumbtack to poke holes in doll head to install earrings.
To my surprise, my janky approach seemed to work.
At least so far.

The metal pelvis on this stupid piece of China-made crap Coo Model skeleton action figure broke in three pieces when I tried to adjust the legs in to a sitting position.
Super glue didn't fix it. Now I'm trying JB Weld epoxy, but that's not looking promising either.
If I can't fix it, I guess I'll break it up and use the bones as background props in diorama scenes.

1/12-scale Star Wars "Black Series" Stormtrooper action figure with George Lucas likeness.
Why do they use an "old George Lucas" head sculpt on this figure? When Lucas made Star Wars he was young and slim and had jet-black hair.
That said, there's something about "greying Lucas" that is iconic. When I picture George Lucas in my mind, I picture the late-middle-aged "grey" Lucas, not the skinny dark-haired early-30s Lucas. I'm not sure why that is.

They're not dolls, they're action figures!
