Hi sofos,
I send my love to you and Emma, sorry you are unhappy about her joints.
I have this same doll. I also have a different perspective than everyone her in this topic.
First doll
only 6 months in the doll world
Before purchasing I had read about dolls becoming loose so i opted out of the standing foot option. For my first doll i wasnt prepared to fool around with the risks of standing a doll up on its own. I wasn't in to photography then and its still a chore now. thats a shame for you guys because i have spent almost $3000 in the last 3 months on clothes and Kimono for her. I think I will regret not taking pics just for the memories.
After 3 months this is what my Sanhui 156 is like.
Back is still stiff as a brick. so stiff im afraid to force it. Elbows hold any pose
knees hold no pose. I have been kicked in the nose eye and lips many times by her feel falling into my face as her legs and feet are in the air and her heel crashes into my face. It sux but we just giggle it away.
Her elbows rotate very smoothly and loose like. now that i know whats up its ok but when they first got like this i had her arm orientate backwards once and could not figure out why her arm would not bend at all. I had to re rotate her arm and then bend it normal. Her legs at the hips are stiff. almost as stiff as new. same with her shoulders. her neck bolt is the same too but after reading about other neck bolts in this topic i am now terrified about my dolls neck. to me that is the ONE thing i want to be stiff. her hips are stiff too but thats because i rarely twist her torso. She can sit up with no support at all but this wont last. for example I have learned to sit her up from laying down by pulling her by her back first instead of her legs first and then tipping her forward into seated position.
My different perspective. My doll is pretty much a teddy bear lover. I actually want her to be more like a rag doll. I totally get it that you guys want pose-able skeletons for your reasons. I want to ask you guys this question.
Could it be possible that Sanhui follows customer feedback from Chinese consumers more or instead of our feedback. The Chinese doll market is probly way bigger than our market due to population of the country. for example there are 20 million men projected to be single by 2030 because of all the aborted female babies and the one child policy.
So maybe sanhui knows this about the skeletons but maybe the chinese consumers dont care so why should they worry about us? just an idea. I dunno. maybe stiff dolls are wanted in china too.
ive only been in the doll world 6 months. had a doll for 3. based on all the reading of these topics im starting understand every doll has a lifespan. for me personally im think for me, ill get a new doll once a year. im starting to think it just comes with the territory. i know i know i know. A doll lasts as long as how good you are to her. but i like the feeling of new doll too.
