Problems with CPK

Did anyone else notice how the thread in CPK's feet never stayed together? It didn't matter if the doll had shoes on or not the threads always came out and deformed the feet of beloved dolls forever more.
Another problem with CPK is that they have hard heads. When I was ten, my six year old sister took my CPK, Jessie if I remember correctly, and slammed it against my head. It cracked my head open and I have the scar to prove it.
Although I love CPK and had many of my own I was always upset when the feet broke, but after the age of ten I could never bring myself to play with my CPK again. But is that really surprising...it really hurt.

While it's pretty easy to sew the feet back to the way they were, I don't know of any solution to keep the dolls from being used as weapons. The original CPKs have soft heads, though.
