Your instinct is to push harder. No movement at all. You're suddenly convinced you've broken her, or that she arrived damaged, or that you've wasted your money. Pause right there. Nothing is wrong; this is completely usual, and the solution is simpler than you think. Why Factory Joints Err on the Side of Tight Factory-fresh dolls have tight joints, and this is intentional rather than a mistake in manufacturing. A pose has to hold when she's standing, sitting or lying in any position, which means tight enough joints. A loose joint on a heavy doll is worse than a tight one, since the doll then can't hold any pose at all. Tight is the side makers err on, so you've got to break the joints in before they can be used properly. First, Understand Why the Joints Are Tight The first point to grasp is the reason the joints are tight. Within hours of being posed, a substantial doll will sag if her joints are too loose out of the box, since they have to support substantial weight. A longer useful life comes from tight joints, since they can be loosened gradually over time without getting too loose too swiftly. Over a week or two, a doll that arrives stiff can be worked in until the joints are perfectly balanced. A doll that arrives loose has no way to tighten back up, and you'll be fighting sagging within months. The Second Thing to Know: Tightness Varies Secondly, not every joint is tight to the same degree. Tightest of all, ordinarily, are the hip, knee and shoulder joints, since they bear the most weight. The neck, wrist and ankle joints bear less weight and so are generally looser. In the middle are the elbow and wrist joints. With this knowledge you can set expectations, since the experience differs between joints and the hips in particular might take notably more effort to break in than the neck. How to Loosen Joints Safely An uncomplicated technique does the job of loosening joints, but you need to get the details right. Heat each joint for thirty to sixty seconds with a hairdryer held about six inches away, on a warm setting and never a hot one. Softened TPE around the joint, courtesy of the warm air, means easier movement without stressing the surrounding material. Don't force anything when you gently move a warmed joint through its full range of motion several times. The process is repeated for each joint in turn: neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles. Temperature and Joint Behaviour TPE is a thermoplastic, meaning it softens when heated and firms up when cooled, and that's why 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. Why does a stiff doll loosen up so much after a warm-up? Same reason a doll kept in a cold room can stay stubborn even after weeks of use. Why an Hour Is Worth It A full hour suits the first session. Excessive-sounding or not, the hour is the difference between posing your doll and watching her end up stuck in one position because you gave up. Neck: ten minutes. Each shoulder and elbow: ten. Each hip and knee: ten. Each wrist and ankle: five. Move each joint slowly through its full range, taking care not to force anything, and stop if a joint feels like it's resisting more than it should. Give it more warmth, then attempt once more. Why Hip Joints Take the Longest Hips are the most stubborn joints and warrant a mention of their own. Hips take the most weight, and generally end up the tightest joints on the doll. Expect a weighty doll's hips to be honestly tricky to move at first and to take several sessions to feel natural. You mustn't panic if the hips won't move on the first day. Warm the hips up, push them as far as they will comfortably go, then stop and come back tomorrow. A week or two for the hips to fully break in is ordinary. Raising the Arms Forward, Backward and Sideways The shoulder joints are the second most stubborn. They also bear notable weight, and they're normally locked tight to avoid the doll's arms from sagging when she's standing. Take the shoulders through their full range of motion, which includes raising the arms forward, backward and to the side, and stop if anything feels like it's resisting. Damage to the joint is what forcing a shoulder gets you, while a shoulder that won't raise thoroughly can generally be coaxed with patience and warmth. Bend, Straighten and Slight Rotation The knee joints land somewhere between the two. Easier to move than the hips yet tighter than the arms, they need working through their full range, including bending, straightening and small rotation. Because they have to hold the doll upright, the knees are usually tighter than the elbows; the hips remain the tighter of the two. Don't force the knees into extreme positions until they've been damaged in properly; work through their range of motion slowly. Gentle Does It, Even When the Neck Feels Loose You'll normally find the neck joint loosest, because it bears the least weight. A little warmth might be needed for the full range, but relatively free movement from the start is typical. Forcing the neck is the easiest way to damage a joint, though it's also the easiest to break in, so be soft despite how loose it feels. When the neck moves freely, expect an expressive doll; when it's stiff, expect one that's harder to pose naturally. Reasonably Loose but Not Risk-Free The wrist and ankle joints fall somewhere in the middle. They don't bear much weight, so they're usually reasonably loose, but they can still be tight enough to cause difficulties if you're not careful. Take them through their full range of bending, rotation and flexing, and don't force them into extreme positions until they've been damaged 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. Damaged In Properly vs Forced Rule one: never force anything. Never. The skeleton can snap or the material can tear if a joint is forced, and either repair is costly and avoidable. A joint that won't move needs more warmth. Stop and have another go tomorrow if it still won't move. It's noticeable in every pose she holds whether a doll was non-working in properly or forced, and the whole method comes down to patience. Why a Day of Rest Helps Some practical tips can make this process easier. A doll feels stiffer in a cold room than in a warm room because the ambient temperature influences the material, so work in a warm room if possible. A hairdryer should be within reach, and used liberally. After shipping the doll needs to settle, so skip loosening the joints on the first day; a day of rest will make the material more soft when you do start. From an Hour to Five Minutes The process runs for about a week, with a session each day that's shorter than the previous one. At about an hour the first session is the longest, the second maybe forty minutes, and by the fourth or fifth you'll need just five or ten minutes to move each joint through its range and confirm everything is working. After about a week, expect natural-feeling joints and simple posing. If you skip this process, you've purchased a poseable doll for nothing: she stays stiff and you end up preventing poses that require movement. Pose Holding vs Slouching Doing joint loosening properly generates substantial results. Break her in correctly and she'll hold any pose for hours without sagging, with new positions taking seconds, not minutes. Loose joints within months and a sag into a slouch even when you try to pose her upright are what a forced doll gets. It's totally down to how you handle the first week, the only week in which the joints can be broken in rather than already being set. What to Do If Joints Loosen Over Time Should a joint ever get too loose, as can happen after weighty use over time, there's typically a way to tighten it. A small adjustment to the adjustable screws that some skeletons have can repair the tension. Some skeletons can't be adjusted and need a replacement joint instead; it costs more, but replacing the whole doll costs more still. Don't wait until a joint is entirely loose to address it; the earlier you catch it, the easier it is to fix, and the maker can tell you what kind of adjustment is possible on your specific doll. A Feature, Not a Problem Don't see the day-one stiffness as a difficulty; it's a feature, and that's the bottom line. They're tight because they need to be tight, and loosening them is part of what owning the doll involves. Never force anything; take your time, use heat and work through each joint prudently. After a week of effort, which is all it takes, you have a doll that poses naturally for years. More info at this rosslink.
