Her easiest joints are the knees, ankles, toes, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers. Like once you have a knee bent unsupported, it will bend more just from the weight of her lower leg and foot. The hips are pretty easy to move, rotation of hip and shoulder are easier than straightening a leg back out at the hip because I have to press on her body to do it. One one leg is done, the second one is way easier.Doll Master wrote:Hey thanks for all the info and the pics. This one is great.
The only problem I have now for this doll is that DS said they won't a offer loose joints option.
Do you think she is loose enough to comfortably change positions without too much of a hassle?
Like when you want to move her leg, or reposition her easily, I think I would hate it if she just felt like a poseable mannequin and was stiff as a board/uncooperative.

I am getting better at it just as learn her body better. Hope that helps. Oh, most difficult joint is the lower back. I think because it is actually 3 ranges of motion right next to each other. Twist, side bend, and front to back.
Yes. It's a tough one. Arching if you put her on her stomach, then use a hand or knee just at the top of her buttocks, then if slide your hand on her breasts or collarbone and pull towards the sky. And then pretty much opposite, hand under belly button, hand on upper back to get her to crunch. Have you looked at pictures of her skeleton? It really helps for reference as you learn her body. There is a whole thread on here about recent doll skeletons. I posted the Summit skeleton on the first page viewtopic.php?f=87&t=131075.BiSH wrote:NormalHuman wrote:

I haven't put too much pressure on it but it's that lower back one that I haven't been able to utilize yet. Have you been able to arch her back? Have you figured out a method? I haven't tried the twist or side bend. Maybe that will help me out
Thanks. I'm gonna have to try that one soon. And yeah I've seen the skeleton. Which I din't on my first doll and had to figure it out. So having those pictures is great.NormalHuman wrote:Yes.

How are you and yours getting along?
If you want to see what we have really been up to. Just getting used to each others presence more than anything, and some body exploration as discussed.BiSH wrote: Well, I'm sure just like yourself, the honeymoon period is great fun
Rut Roh. I"ve had to worry about my cat in the past with my credit card, now I have to worry about Alita???NormalHuman wrote:Seems Maho has found my credit card, and ordered some more clothes and accessories. She insisted the clothes were a great deal at 25% off. My postal carrier is going to kill me with all the boxes they have to deliver....
I am certainly keeping that foam form. It looks pretty cool as art, and if I ever need to send her anywhere, we will be prepared.Solaris_London wrote:Hi
Maho is amazing. I was also incredibly impressed with the container she arrived in. In terms of presentation and shipping protection, that container absolutely sets the standard. It could easily be a prop from Bladerunner. Amazing...
