1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Special Shoulder Joints

Jun 23, 2018

    1. Hello, all!

      I'm trying to collect a list of dolls that have special shoulder joints. By this I don't mean the typical single ball and socket style joint of most bjds, but jointing systems that try to imitate the natural movement of a real person's shoulder in order to allow shrugging, increased arm movement, etc. So far I have:

      Pasha Pasha dolls
      Marmite Sue dolls
      Ancient Tales new 1/4 Fashion dolls
      Bimong new Narae body (1/4 and I believe 1/3 as well)

      Some bjds have an extra "cap" on the shoulder which seems meant to aid posing (I can think of many examples, such as Supia's new 65cm female body, the Twigling/Artifex Kindred dolls, etc.), but I'm more interested in joints similar to those of the dolls above.

      Does anyone know of any other examples? I would love to see how different artists have tackled the problem of this complicated joint.

      Thank you!

    2. The only other one I can think of that is similar is Solar Wind Doll's Konstantin.
      He's generally an interesting sculpt, really cool knees too.

    3. Thank you so much! I had never heard of this sculpt before. I love his face, and you're right that his knees look really interesting.

      I'm working on my own shoulder joint design, so any example is really helpful. Thank you!
