The story never changes: a doll is ordered, she arrives, everything looks excellent, and then the buyer tries posing the hands and finds fingers that are stiff, floppy or prone to breaking. If you understand the two primary types of hands before ordering, you sidestep the number one complaint from first-time owners. Wire Inside Every Finger Standard wire hands: cheaper, and more usual than the alternative. Each finger has a thin metal wire through it, set in supple TPE or silicone, so that they bend readily for posing. Thin, pliable wire means a variety of finger shapes, and the pliable surrounding material keeps the look natural. Perfectly enough if you're not using the hands much, they also work fine on a light doll. Weighty dolls are another matter; there, they're a problem. When a Finger Snaps, There's No Easy Fix The issue with standard wire hands is that the wire doesn't last. Once the wire has bent as many times as it can, it snaps, the finger goes floppy, and there's no simple way to fix it. Enough to break the thin wire inside the finger is the continual pressure of holding a pose, the weight of the doll's arm, or just handling the doll typically over time. The wires fail within a few months for some buyers, but other customers get a year or two. Either way they will fail; it's when, not if. Stainless Steel Finger Joints The alternative, and the upgrade, is articulated hands. Instead of a single wire, they use individual stainless steel finger joints, each with a small pivot letting the finger bend at multiple points. Strength is far greater than a wire's, and the joints hold a pose without straining the material around them. Depending on the maker, you'll usually add fifty to a hundred pounds for articulated hands, which almost every customer will agree is worth the upgrade. Both durability and poseability improve massively. Photographers and Poseable Hands Holding poses is where articulated hands first score. Unlike wire, which can't maintain tension and so sags over time, an articulated hand stays where you put it because each joint is designed to hold. Fingers don't droop when she grips objects, rests her hand on her hip, or holds a pose for photography. One of the most expressive parts of any pose is the hands, which makes this a massive advantage for anyone who photographs their doll. Joints That Outlast Wire Second comes durability. Stainless steel joints and pivots built to last keep articulated hands free of the wire fatigue complication. The joints beat wire for durability by a long way, cutting the risk of a snapped finger dramatically, though the material around them can still wear over time. Even more crucial on a heavy doll: wire hands on a 45kg doll are constantly strained and will break faster than on a lighter doll. Realism in Bent Fingers One more benefit, the third, is a more realistic look in poses. Rubbery-looking, a little, is the typical state of a bent wire hand, since the wire doesn't support the material properly. Because articulated hands hold the finger shape more crisply, the fingers look more defined and less squashed into position. This is especially noticeable in photographs, where the difference between a wire hand and an articulated hand is plain to anyone who knows what to look for. A New Dimension to Posing The fourth upside is a more complete-feeling doll. Wire-handed dolls simply can't gesture, point, hold and grip the way a doll with articulated hands can; the hands are one of the most expressive parts of the body. This adds a totally new dimension to posing, because the doll can interact with props, hold objects, and create dynamic compositions that wouldn't be possible otherwise. It's a considerable advantage if you're a photographer or roleplay enthusiast. Replacement Cost vs Upfront Cost The first downside of articulated hands is the cost. If every pound counts, the additional fifty to a hundred pounds might take the total out of your range. Weigh it up, though: replacing a damaged wire hand, or living with floppy fingers, is usually worse than paying upfront, so in the long run it's practically invariably worth upgrading. The Price of Pose-Holding The second drawback is that articulated hands can be marginally stiffer than wire hands. Designed to hold a pose, the joints resist movement more than wire does. While the hand stays where you put it, which is good for posing, positioning the fingers takes a bit more effort. Some buyers, particularly those used to readily bent wire hands, find this frustrating. It's a small trade-off that most customers adjust to within a few days. Handling Articulated Hands Carefully The third drawback is that articulated hands can be slightly more delicate than wire hands in a different way. Sometimes the connections between the joints and the material come loose, and if a finger gets wrenched out of position the joint can pop out and need reinserting, strong as the joints are. It occurs, although less often than wire breakage, and you should know about it before purchasing. Stick to an uncomplicated routine: respect the positions the fingers don't want to go into, and consistently support the hand properly while you move it. Disadvantage Four: Slightly Larger Hands The fourth disadvantage is that articulated hands are often a little larger than wire hands. Because the extra joints take up space, the fingers can look a bit chunkier. On smaller dolls the difference can be noticeable, even though it's ordinarily slight and most purchasers don't notice, and a petite doll with delicate proportions might look somewhat off with articulated hands. Whether the articulated hands are scaled proportionally on a specific doll is worth asking the retailer; some manufacturers do this better than others. Is the Saving Worth the Eventual Replacement? For purchasers who are deciding between wire and articulated hands, the functional advice is direct: buy articulated. Damaged fingers and drooping poses become someone else's complication with articulated hands, the single best upgrade to the doll's functionality, albeit a more costly one. An exceptionally tight budget and no plans to pose the hands at all are the only reasons to purchase wire hands, and even then it's worth asking whether the savings outweigh the inevitable replacement cost. When Replacement Articulated Hands Make Sense Then there's the matter of what to do if your doll already has wire hands and the fingers break. On the bright side, in some cases a wire hand is repairable, employing a new wire through the finger or a small quantity of TPE repair compound to reinforce the joint. Infrequently do these jobs come out as solid as new, and the finger will most likely be non-working again inside a few months. Owners committed to keeping the doll long-term should typically invest in a replacement pair of articulated hands instead of trying to repair wire ones. Caring for Articulated Hands For customers who are buying a doll with articulated hands, there's a maintenance consideration worth knowing about. Corrosion and seized joints are what moisture can cause, therefore the need to keep the joints clean and dry. Hands should be wiped down and dried thoroughly after every use, with special attention if water or cleaning items have been involved. Grinding of metal against the surrounding material is stopped, and the joints move smoothly, when a small amount of silicone-based lubricant goes on every few months. Ongoing Material vs Concealed Joints A word or two on the visual difference between the two hand types is in order. Slightly smoother and softer is how wire hands tend to look, thanks to the ongoing material around the wire. With articulated hands you get apparent joint lines, and some customers like them less. Knowing that bent fingers can reveal the joints, which are ordinarily concealed under a thin layer of material, is rewarding if you care about visual realism. On the other hand, articulated hands look more like real hands in complex poses, so the trade-off is often worth it. Order Articulated, Skip the Frustration When it comes down to it, articulated hands are almost always better. More long-lasting, more poseable and more realistic in photos, they cost only a little additional compared with the frustration of broken fingers. If you're acquiring a new doll, specify articulated hands in the order. Whether a used doll has articulated hands should be checked and factored into the cost. You'll get your money back from this upgrade numerous times over, whichever way you go.
