Your instinct is to push harder. It still won't move. Suddenly you're sure you've broken her, that she came damaged, or that you've wasted your money. Stop right there. You haven't done anything incorrect. It's entirely typical and simple to fix. Tight by Design, Not by Mistake Nobody made an error: dolls leave the factory with tight joints on purpose. Whether she's standing, sitting or lying down, the joints need enough tightness to hold a pose in any position. Because a loose joint means a substantial doll can't hold any pose at all, it is worse than a tight one. Manufacturers play safe and err on the side of tight, so you'll need to break the joints in before you can use them properly. The Danger of a Doll That Arrives Loose The first thing to comprehend is why the joints are tight. Because substantial dolls need joints that support substantial weight, looseness out of the box leads to sagging within hours of being posed. Tight joints extend the doll's handy life; they can be loosened gradually over time and won't become too loose too swiftly. In a week or two a stiff arrival can be worked in, leaving perfectly balanced joints. A doll that arrives loose has no way to tighten back up, and you'll be fighting sagging within months. Elbows and Wrists: The Middle Ground Secondly, not every joint is tight to the same degree. Hip, knee and shoulder joints are tight, ordinarily the tightest of all, due to bearing the most weight. You'll generally find the neck, wrist and ankle joints looser, as they bear less weight. Elbow and wrist joints are neither the tightest nor the loosest. Expect different experiences with distinct joints; the hips in particular might take considerably more effort to break in than the neck, and knowing it helps. Mild Heat, Full Range of Motion Loosening joints is a straightforward method, though the details matter. Six inches away is the right distance: point a hairdryer on a warm, not hot, setting at each joint for thirty to sixty seconds. Warm air softens the TPE around the joint, making it easier to move without stressing the surrounding material. Warm joint, gentle movement: take it through its full range of motion several times and don't force anything. Repeat this process for each joint, working through the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles in turn. Why a Stiff Doll Becomes Flexible After a Warm-Up Because TPE is a thermoplastic, softening when heated and firming up when cooled, the warm-up matters. Temporary softening from warming lets the material move more easily, and when the doll cools down, the material firms back up and the joint holds its new position. Stiff at first, much more flexible after warming, or stubborn in a cold room even after weeks of use: all down to how TPE reacts to temperature. Don't Give Up on the First Day Set aside a full hour for the first session. You might find it excessive, but it decides whether you end up with a doll you'll really pose or one stuck in one position because you gave up. Permit ten minutes for the neck, ten for each shoulder and elbow, ten for each hip and knee, and five for each wrist and ankle. Don't force anything: move each joint slowly through its full range and stop if you feel more resistance than there should be. Add more warmth and attempt again. What to Expect From a Heavy Doll's Hips Hip joints are the most stubborn, so they deserve a mention all to themselves. Hips: the joints that bear the most weight and are normally the tightest on the doll. On a weighty doll the hip joints can be truly difficult to move at first, and it can take several sessions before they feel natural. Stay relaxed if the hips refuse to move on the first day. Get them warm, move them as far as they'll go, and leave it until tomorrow. A week or two for the hips to fully break in is ordinary. Shoulders: The Second Most Stubborn Shoulder joints come second in stubbornness. They're typically locked tight to keep the arms from sagging when she's standing, and they carry notable weight too. Run the shoulders through their full range of motion, forward, backward and sideways with the arms raised, and stop if you meet resistance. You can typically coax a shoulder that won't raise thoroughly into position employing patience and warmth; forcing it will damage the joint. Full Range for the Knees Between the two extremes you'll find the knee joints. Tighter than the arms but easier than the hips, the knees need their full range worked, including bending, straightening and small rotation. The upright doll depends on her knees, so they tend to be tighter than the elbows, though the hips are tighter still. Go through their range of motion slowly, and don't force the knees into extreme positions until they've been properly damaged in. Be Gentle With the Loosest Joint You'll usually find the neck joint loosest, because it bears the least weight. Free movement, relatively speaking, should be there from the start, though warmth may help it through its full range. Be soft with the neck even though it feels looser, because it's the easiest joint to break in and also the easiest to damage if you force it. Expressive dolls tend to have necks that move freely, while a stiff neck recommends a doll harder to pose naturally. Hands and Feet Need Care Too Mid-range is where the wrist and ankle joints sit. They carry little weight and are normally reasonably loose, but they can still be tight enough to cause complications if you're not careful. Move them through their full range (bending, rotation, flexing), and avoid forcing them into extreme positions before they've been non-working in. Posing the hands gets hard with a wrist that's too tight, and standing the doll gets hard with an ankle that's too tight. Forcing a Joint Can Snap the Skeleton Forcing anything is out of the question; I mean never. You can snap the skeleton or tear the material by forcing a joint, and both are pricey repairs that could have been stayed away from. Joint not moving? Warm it more. If it's still stuck, stop and come back tomorrow. The complete technique is patience, and you can see the difference between a doll that's broken in properly and one that's been forced in every pose she holds. Let Her Settle After Shipping First Make the process easier with a few useful tips. Choose a warm room if you can, because ambient temperature affects the material and a doll in a cold room will feel stiffer. Have a hairdryer on hand, and use it liberally. Wait before loosening the joints: the doll needs to settle after shipping, and a day of rest will leave the material more flexible when you start. Don't Defeat the Purpose of a Poseable Doll The process runs for about a week, with a session each day that's shorter than the previous one. The first session runs longest, about an hour, the second perhaps forty minutes, and from the fourth or fifth on you only need five or ten minutes to move each joint through its range and confirm everything is working. You'll find the joints feel natural after a week, and posing the doll is simple. You'll end up preventing poses that need movement if you skip this process and the doll stays stiff, defeating the purpose of purchasing a poseable doll. Forced Dolls Slouch Doing joint loosening properly generates important results. Break her in correctly and she'll hold any pose for hours without sagging, with new positions taking seconds, not minutes. If a doll has been forced, expect loose joints within months and a sag into a slouch despite your attempts to pose her upright. Totally down to your handling of the first week is the difference between the two, as that's the only week where the joints can be faulty in and aren't already set. When a Joint Becomes Too Loose If weighty use over time makes a joint too loose, don't worry; there's generally a way to tighten it. Some skeletons have adjustable screws, and a small adjustment can renew the tension. When there are no screws to adjust, a replacement joint is the fix, costing more but less than replacing the whole doll. What kind of adjustment is possible on your precise doll is something to ask the maker, and you shouldn't wait for a joint to be entirely loose, because the earlier you catch it, the easier it is to fix. Why Day-One Stiffness Is Good News The bottom line is that the stiffness you encounter on day one is not an issue, it's a feature. Joints are tight because they have to be, and loosening them is part and parcel of owning the doll. Work through each joint cautiously, take your time, use heat and never force anything. Just a week of effort, and you're rewarded with a doll that poses naturally for years. More info at this rosslink. Also check out continue reading for more.
