Does YL do loose joints if requested? I'm considering either the 155 or 155 custom.

Yes, in fact, you can order specific like tight hips, loose elbows.

Now that is some good info. Thanks!!

How loose would these joints be? Would a doll with factory loose joints in her legs not be able to stand (assuming she has standing feet)? Would a doll with all loose joints have more of a 'rag-doll physics' type of movement, with limbs just flopping around? Or would the joints still hold position, but move with much less force?

This option sounds intriguing, but I'm just not sure what loose joints from the factory would mean. Could someone clarify please?

I'd order the loose joints and super soft TPE if I was pulling the trigger today.

My 128 without loose joints is very stiff. The joints will not change position unless I exert effort to change their position. This is great for photography and some sex positions but not so good for sex in general. Eventually, the dolls joints are going to loosen up anyway even if your doll starts with stiff joints. I like the stiff joints as I do most of my photography of a doll during the first several months & then by then the joints are starting to loosen up a bit just from regular use.

Same here! And no standing feet, either...I want the feet to feel smooth on the soles, not have screws mess up the look and feel of them. Built-in vagina, also...personal preference.

I would worry about ordering loose joints from the start, as DA stated. They will loosen up as time goes by.
They may get too loose sooner than later and not be able to hold a pose.

I ordered YL 148 with loose joints. I have only one TPE doll bigger than 100 cm, so can't compare it with "regular joints", but they look pretty stiff. She can hold poses. Leg joints are more stiff, they need more effort for reposing.

We didn't order our YL 135 with loose joints. Most of them are still pretty stiff, but one leg is a little loose and one arm is really loose, can't hold a pose unless it is all the way up. We've had her for a little over a year now. I guess it depends how much you are moving her arms and legs, especially for photo shoots. Good luck!

I know from the boards here that there are those of us out there who aren't concerned if the doll can hold a pose. Personally, photography comes in pretty low on the list of activities I plan to do with my doll. Actually, it doesn't even make the list.

You ordered loose joints but when you got the doll the joints were far from loose and floppy? Hmm. That's discouraging.
