It determines what poses are possible, how well she keeps them, how long she lasts, and how hard she is to move. When something goes wrong, most customers eventually think about the skeleton, but they should've done it sooner, as it's the single most important piece of hardware in the doll. Replace the whole doll prematurely, or pay hundreds in repairs: that's the cost of the incorrect choice. When a Standard Skeleton Is Enough The two main types of skeleton differ in ways that matter enormously. Most budget dolls have the standard skeleton, the basic one, with bolt joints connected by a wireframe. Light builds and basic posing are well within its limits, and a standard skeleton is typically sufficient for a petite or skinny doll under 35kg. With 40kg of weight on it, and especially extra chest weight, the joints will loosen quickly and won't tighten back up subsequently. Advanced Skeletons for BBW and Curvy Models With stainless steel locking joints, the advanced or yoga skeleton, which is the upgrade, handles far more weight. A click into place and they stay there; that's how she holds poses such as sitting up, leaning forward and standing with her weight shifted for hours without sagging. On BBW, huge boobs, big booty and substantial curvy models, treat the yoga skeleton as mandatory rather than optional, since it's designed for heavier dolls. If the doll is over 35kg, you need the yoga skeleton; there's no way around that. Teeth vs Resistance: How Each Joint Holds a Pose Skeleton type isn't any more crucial than joint type, and plenty of buyers get caught out here. Two joint types are used in the yoga skeleton. Teeth that engage as the joint moves are what hold a ratchet joint, also known as a clicking lock, firmly in place. Also known as tightened screws, friction joints rely on resistance to hold a position and gradually loosen over time. In nearly every way ratchet joints are superior, since they reliably hold their position and last far longer. Why Budget Dolls Use Friction Joints It's a false economy, even though friction joints are cheaper and simpler to manufacture and that's why budget dolls have them. Friction wears down with use; the joint then loses its grip and the doll starts sagging. A year or two of steady use is enough to leave friction joints noticeably looser than new, and repairing them isn't straightforward. The cost difference is relatively small, and ratchet joints, by contrast, can last for years without visible degradation. Red Flag: A Seller Who Can't Answer Joint Questions You should invariably ask about the joints that take the most strain, the hip, knee and shoulder, before ordering. A loose hip joint makes the doll impossible to stand and a loose shoulder joint makes it impossible to pose her arms, since on a heavier doll these joints bear most of the weight during posing. It's a red flag when the producer can't tell you the type of joints in these precise positions, so find another retailer. Ask the Seller About Reinforced Hips, Knees and Shoulders There's a further question, joint reinforcement, which is distinct from joint type. A reinforced joint has additional material around the pivot point, which avoids the metal from deforming under load. Reinforcement matters as much as joint type on heavier dolls, and a ratchet joint without it can still fail under extreme weight. A precise question deserves a particular answer, so ask the seller whether the hips, knees and shoulders are reinforced and don't accept vagueness. Twisting and Bending: What the Spine Allows The spine deserves attention too, as another part of the skeleton. Twisting and bending is possible with a thoroughly articulated spine, which some dolls have, but others have a more rigid spine that permits just basic movement. The upgrade to an articulated spine is important for photography and posing, as it permits much more natural postures. The articulated choice is worth the extra cost if you plan to photograph her regularly, as a rigid spine, though fine for basic use, limits expressiveness. The Neck Joint: Small Detail, Big Difference The neck joint is the final piece of the puzzle, and it's the one that gets the least attention. Tilting, turning and nodding the head are allowed by a thoroughly articulated neck, adding vastly to expressiveness. In photos a doll with a rigid neck looks stiff, since the head is locked in one position, and the range of natural expressions shrinks. In use the difference is obvious even though it's subtle in specs, which makes it worth asking about before ordering. Shoulders and Hips: Where the Stress Concentrates Here's a detail that practically never crosses a buyer's mind: how the skeleton is anchored inside the body. With cheaper dolls, the mounting points holding the skeleton in place internally can come loose or shift over time, which lets the skeleton move around inside the material. The skeleton stays firmly anchored on better-built dolls, where the mounting points are reinforced. At the shoulders and hips the stress is concentrated, and a loose mounting point there is the beginning of the end for the doll's functionality. What Can and Can't Be Upgraded After Purchase The most significant thing to understand about the skeleton is that it's not just a support structure. The one element that can't be readily upgraded after purchase is also the foundation of everything the doll can do. Upgrade the storage, change the wig, swap the hands or replace the eyes if you like, but the skeleton can only be replaced by taking the doll apart and essentially rebuilding her, which most owners never do. Given all that, the best skeleton you can afford is the reasonable buy, being the one upgrade that pays off every single time you pose her. Years of Function or Months of Failure You can't sensibly skip the yoga skeleton on a heavier doll, since it's mandatory and skipping it is a false economy. Spend the additional few hundred pounds on the yoga skeleton; it determines whether the doll functions for years or fails within months, and nothing else in the purchase gives better value. You can typically get away with the standard skeleton on a lighter doll, but consider the yoga skeleton if you plan to pose regularly or photograph her. Any doll over 35kg, or any you plan to use heavily, calls for the yoga skeleton. The Second Most Important Decision: Joint Type Only the skeleton itself outranks the joint type as a decision. The difference in cost is small, and ratchet joints hold positions better and last far longer than friction joints. Don't let the seller get away with "standard" when you ask which type the doll has; it can mean either one. Not being able to tell you is a warning sign for a vendor, so acquire from someone who can. Reinforcement Is Essential Above 35kg Reinforcement comes up third, and it's the one purchasers tend to forget. Under heavy loads, reinforced joints hold their position better, are stronger and last longer. Reinforced joints are a must for dolls over 35kg and dolls with a big bust. Assume it's not there, and plan accordingly, if the retailer can't confirm reinforcement. Additional Cost or Extra Savings? The fourth and fifth considerations, spine and neck, count for more in photography than in basic use. For routine photography, or a natural look in varied poses, an articulated spine and neck are worth the extra cost. If you're purchasing 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. Natural and Poseable for Years: The Skeleton Payoff Though most purchasers ignore it until something goes incorrect, the skeleton is the part that determines everything about the doll's function. Getting it right means a doll that feels natural and poseable for years. Opt for poorly and what follows is slack joints, drooping limbs, and finally a doll that can't keep any pose at all. Numerous poor purchases come down to one question that never got asked, and the skeleton should be the first you ask. Warm TPE, Full Range of Motion Ultimately, a useful point: when your doll arrives, take time to break in the joints before you try any ambitious posing. The factory leaves the joints tight, so work them in gently, since forcing them will damage them. Work joint by joint: heat the surrounding TPE with a hairdryer on a warm setting until it softens, then move that joint through its full range of motion a number of times. It takes just an hour, yet it's the best single investment in the doll's long-term durability, loosening the joints evenly without stressing individual points. What to Remember About the Skeleton Hidden inside the body, the skeleton is responsible for the doll's movement, her ability to hold a pose, and her stability. Do right by it: acquire the best you can afford, ask about joint type and reinforcement before ordering, and break it in properly on arrival. Everything else can be negotiated, but not the skeleton, which is forever. More info at this rosslink.
