What kind of construction RD/BT ankle? Is there only one joint, which allows movement up and down?

The joint is a single hinge just like the elbow is with a stop so you cannot lift the foot up further than basically flat like the foot would be if she was standing straight up. When rotating the foot left to right, the lower side of the knee joint rotates to allow that motion because the ankle joint cannot move that way. Hope that helps you there Sir and ALL BT & RD dolls have the same ankle joint.

Thanks! This helps me.
It is important to know possibilities motions path before twist (sometimes joints are stiff).
