I desperately want to know if this is:

  1. A toy factory actually finding a creative use for excess stock of the doll head
  2. A creative parent fixing their child's toy
  3. Just a joke for a meme

Cheap things from China often have recycled or re-purposed parts. I had an antenna that came apart and is actually a tape measure with some rubber over it just soldered right to a threaded connector.

I think that must be fairly common as I remember a video talking about using a tape measure being used on a satellite.

I've found it! I thought it would have been Scott Manly, but it was a question in Tom Scott's Lateral quiz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrsBn1pzQFE
