It's the skeleton that decides which poses are possible, how well she holds them, how long she lasts and how much effort it takes to move her. When something goes wrong, most purchasers eventually think about the skeleton, but they should've done it sooner, as it's the single most key piece of hardware in the doll. Hundreds in repairs, or an early replacement of the whole doll, is what the mistaken choice can cost. Bolt Joints and Wireframe Explained There are two main kinds of skeleton, and it matters vastly which one you opt for. The basic type, the standard skeleton, is what you find in most budget dolls, utilising bolt joints connected by a wireframe. Petite or skinny and under 35kg? Then a standard skeleton is usually sufficient, being fine for lighter dolls and basic posing. Those joints loosen rapid with 40kg on them, especially with extra chest weight, and once loose a joint won't tighten again. Advanced Skeletons for BBW and Curvy Models Advanced or yoga skeletons are the upgrade, using stainless steel locking joints to handle far more weight. They lock with a click and stay locked, which means sitting up, leaning forward or standing with her weight shifted are all poses she'll hold for hours without sagging. For BBW, large boobs, huge booty and weighty curvy models, you have no choice: the yoga skeleton is mandatory, because it was designed for heavier dolls. You need the yoga skeleton for anything over 35kg, and there's no way around it. Why Ratchet Joints Are Superior Skeleton type isn't any more important than joint type, and plenty of buyers get caught out here. In the yoga skeleton there are two kinds of joints. Known as clicking locks too, ratchet joints use teeth that engage as you move them to hold the joint firmly in place. Known as tightened screws as well, friction joints use resistance to hold a position and slowly loosen over time. Superior in virtually every way, ratchet joints reliably hold position and last far longer. The Small Cost Difference That Saves You Years of Trouble Friction joints are cheaper and simpler to manufacture, which is why they appear in budget dolls, but they're a false economy. Use wears the friction down, the joint loses its grip, and the doll begins to sag. After a year or two of regular use you'll notice the friction joints are looser than when new, and you can't easily restore them. Ratchet joints last for years without apparent degradation, by contrast, and the difference in cost between the two is relatively small. Hips, Knees and Shoulders: The Joints to Ask About Before ordering, invariably ask about the hip, knee and shoulder joints, which take the most strain. Heavier dolls put most of the posing weight on these joints, which is why a loose hip joint makes standing impossible and a loose shoulder joint makes arm posing impossible. Walk away from any producer unable to say what type of joints sit in these specific positions; it's a red flag. Preventing Metal From Deforming Under Load There's a further question, joint reinforcement, which is distinct from joint type. With additional material around the pivot point, a reinforced joint keeps the metal from deforming under load. For heavier dolls, reinforcement is every bit as vital as joint type, since a ratchet joint without reinforcement can still fail under extreme weight. Put the question to the vendor outright, are the hips, knees and shoulders reinforced, and don't be fobbed off with a vague answer. The Spine: Articulated vs Rigid The spine deserves attention too, as another part of the skeleton. Basic movement is all a more rigid spine permits, whereas some dolls have a fully articulated spine that permits twisting and bending. An articulated spine allows much more natural postures and is a notable upgrade for photography and posing. Basic use is fine with a rigid spine, but it limits expressiveness; the articulated choice is worth the extra cost for routine photography. Neck Joints and Expressiveness The neck joint is the final piece of the puzzle, and it's the one that gets the least attention. A fully articulated neck allows for head tilting, turning, and nodding, which adds hugely to the doll's expressiveness. The doll looks stiff in photos, and natural expressions are lessened in range, when a rigid neck locks the head in one position. Though subtle in specs, the difference is evident in use, and worth asking about before ordering. The Mounting Question Most Buyers Never Ask Another thing that seldom occurs to buyers is how the skeleton is secured inside the body. Cheaper dolls can have internal mounting points that come loose or shift over time, letting the skeleton, which they hold in place, move around inside the material. The skeleton stays firmly anchored on better-built dolls, where the mounting points are reinforced. If a mounting point loosens, especially at the shoulders or hips where the stress is concentrated, it's the beginning of the end for the doll's functionality. You Can Swap a Wig, but Not a Skeleton The most important thing to comprehend about the skeleton is that it's not just a support structure. The one element that can't be easily upgraded after purchase is also the foundation of everything the doll can do. Swapping a wig or hands, replacing the eyes, or upgrading storage is effortless enough; the skeleton is another matter, because replacing it means taking the doll apart and fundamentally rebuilding her, and most owners never do. The best skeleton you can afford is the one to buy, because it's the one upgrade that pays off every single time you pose her. Who Needs the Yoga Skeleton? You can't sensibly skip the yoga skeleton on a heavier doll, since it's mandatory and skipping it is a false economy. You'll get more for the extra few hundred pounds spent on the yoga skeleton than for anything else in the purchase, because it determines whether the doll functions for years or fails within months. With lighter dolls the standard skeleton is usually fine, though the yoga skeleton is still worth considering if you plan to pose regularly or photograph the doll. The yoga skeleton is the right choice for any doll over 35kg and any doll you plan to use heavily. What to Ask Before You Order: Joint Type After choosing the skeleton, the joint type is the second most key decision you make. Better position-holding and far longer life come from ratchet joints over friction joints, at a small difference in cost. Which type does the doll have? Ask the vendor, and don't be satisfied with "standard", which can mean either one. Acquire from someone who can tell you, because a retailer who can't is a warning sign. If the Seller Can't Confirm, Assume It's Not There It's reinforcement, the third question, that most customers forget to ask about. With reinforced joints you get greater strength, longer life and better position-holding under weighty loads. Don't buy a doll over 35kg, or with a big bust, without reinforced joints; they're crucial. Plan accordingly, assuming it's absent, if the retailer can't confirm reinforcement. When Rigid Is Fine More crucial for photography than for basic use are the fourth and fifth considerations, the spine and neck. Want her natural in varied poses, or plan steady photography? An articulated spine and neck are worth the additional. If you're acquiring for basic use and don't plan to pose her much, the rigid versions are fine, and you can save the money for something else. Ask the Skeleton Question First The part of the doll that determines everything about how she functions is the skeleton, which most purchasers ignore until something goes mistaken. Get it right, and expect the doll to feel natural and poseable for years. The price of a mistaken choice: loose joints, sagging limbs, and a doll that finally can't hold any position. Numerous bad purchases come down to one question that never got asked, and the skeleton should be the first you ask. The Best Investment You Can Make in Durability One last practical point is to spend time breaking in the joints when your doll arrives, before you try any ambitious posing. Damage is what forcing them causes; the joints are tight from the factory and need to be worked in gently. Warm the TPE around each joint with a hairdryer on a warm setting so it softens, and follow up by moving the joint through its complete range of motion several times. This hour's work is the single best investment you can make in the doll's long-term durability, loosening the joints evenly and not stressing individual points. Skeleton, Joints, Reinforcement, Break-In: The Short Version You can't see the skeleton, yet it is what lets the doll move, hold a pose and stay constant. Before ordering, ask about joint type and reinforcement; then, on arrival, give it an appropriate break-in. And acquire the best one you can afford. Everything else can be negotiated, but not the skeleton, which is forever. More info at this rosslink. Also check out find out more for more.
