Pushing harder is the plain next step. It remains stubbornly in place. In a flash you believe you've broken her, that she turned up damaged, or that the money was wasted. Don't do anything else just yet. This happens to everyone, and the solution is simpler than you imagine. Break In Before You Pose Dolls arrive with tight joints from the factory, and that tightness is deliberate rather than a manufacturing mistake. Tightness is needed so the doll holds a pose standing, sitting or lying in any position. Worse than a tight joint, on a heavy doll, is a loose one, because then she can't hold any pose at all. The upshot: producers err on the side of tight, and the joints need breaking in before proper use. Weighty Dolls Need Joints That Support Weight First, it helps to know why the joints are tight. Because hefty dolls need joints that support notable weight, looseness out of the box leads to sagging within hours of being posed. Because tight joints can be loosened gradually over time without becoming too loose too quickly, they give the doll a longer practical life. Arrive stiff, and a doll can be worked in over a week or two to reach perfectly balanced joints. 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 A second thing worth understanding is that the tightness isn't uniform across joints. The most weight is borne by the hip, knee and shoulder joints, so they're normally the tightest. Generally looser because they bear less weight are the neck, wrist and ankle joints. Between the two extremes are the elbow and wrist joints. Knowing this helps you set expectations, because you're not going to have the same experience with every joint, and the hip joints in particular might take considerably more effort to break in than the neck. Repeat for Each Joint Straightforward as the approach for loosening joints is, the details matter. Don't use hot: set the hairdryer to warm and hold it about six inches from each joint for thirty to sixty seconds. The warm air softens the TPE around the joint, which makes the joint easier to move without putting stress on the surrounding material. When the joint is warm, move it gently through its full range of motion a number of times, and take care not to force anything. Neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles: repeat the process on each of them in turn. The Reason the Hairdryer Works TPE being a thermoplastic, it softens when heated and firms up when cooled, and this is why the warm-up matters. Warming the joint softens the material for a while, which lets it move more easily; once the doll cools, the material firms back up and the joint holds its new position. It's why a stiff-feeling doll is so much more adaptable after a warm-up, and why cold-room dolls can still be stubborn after weeks. Ten Minutes Here, Five Minutes There One full hour is what the first session needs. It sounds excessive, but it's the difference between a doll you'll in fact pose and a doll that ends up stuck in one position because you gave up. Spend ten minutes on the neck, ten on each shoulder and elbow, ten on each hip and knee, and five on each wrist and ankle. Go slowly through the full range of each joint, taking care not to force anything, and stop when a joint feels like it's resisting more than it should. Warm the joint further and then try again. Hips: The Most Stubborn Joint It's worth giving the hip joints their own mention, as they're the most stubborn. Bearing the most weight, the hips are generally the tightest joints on the doll. Several sessions might pass before a hefty doll's hip joints, which can be honestly challenging to move at first, feel natural. Not getting the hips to move on the first day is nothing to panic about. Warm them, move them as far as they'll go, stop, and have another go tomorrow. Usual behaviour for the hips is taking a week or two to fully break in. Patience and Warmth for Stubborn Shoulders The shoulder joints are the second most stubborn. They bear significant weight too, and are ordinarily locked tight to stop the arms sagging while she stands. Work every shoulder through everything it can do, lifting the arm in front, behind and to the side, and stop if something feels like it's resisting. If a shoulder won't raise thoroughly, patience and warmth can ordinarily coax it into position, and forcing it will damage the joint. Bend, Straighten and Slight Rotation Between the two extremes you'll find the knee joints. They move more easily than the hips but are still tighter than the arms, and you should take them through bending, straightening and slight rotation. Elbows are looser and hips are tighter; the knees, designed to hold the doll upright, sit between them. Extreme positions should wait until the knees have been faulty in properly, and in the meantime work them slowly through their range of motion. What a Free-Moving Neck Tells You The neck, bearing the least weight, is typically the loosest joint. Relatively free movement from the start is what you should expect, although it may still need some warmth to move through its full range. The neck is both the easiest joint to break in and the easiest to damage by forcing, so be mild even though it feels looser. Free movement in the neck signals that the doll is going to be expressive; stiffness suggests she'll be harder to pose naturally. Bending, Rotation and Flexing Between the two extremes you'll find the wrist and ankle joints. They don't bear much weight, so they're ordinarily reasonably loose, but they can still be tight enough to cause difficulties if you're not careful. Move them through their full range (bending, rotation, flexing), and stay away from forcing them into extreme positions before they've been damaged in. A wrist that's too tight will make it hard to pose the hands, and an ankle that's too tight will make it hard to stand the doll. If a Joint Won't Move, Stop Completely never force anything. The skeleton can snap or the material can tear if a joint is forced, and either repair is expensive and avoidable. If it won't move, give it more warmth. Stop and have another go tomorrow if it still won't move. The whole method is patience, and you'll see the difference between correct break-in and forcing in every pose she holds. Work in a Warm Room The process is easier with a few useful tips. Ambient temperature affects the material, so work in a warm room if you can; a doll in a cold room will feel stiffer than a doll in a warm room. Be liberal with the hairdryer, and keep it on hand. Wait before loosening the joints: the doll needs to settle after shipping, and a day of rest will leave the material more pliable when you start. How Long Breaking In Really Takes Expect about a week of daily sessions, each shorter than the one before. Expect an hour or so for the first session, maybe forty minutes for the second, and only five or ten minutes by the fourth or fifth, enough to move each joint through its range and confirm that everything is working. After a week, the joints will feel natural, and you'll be able to pose the doll without effort. The purpose of buying a poseable doll is defeated when you skip this process, since the doll stays stiff and you stay away from poses that require movement. The Difference Is Entirely in How You Handle Week One Correct joint loosening pays off considerably. No sagging for hours in any pose, new positions within seconds: a correctly broken-in doll delivers both. A doll that's been forced will have loose joints within months, and she'll sag into a slouch even when you're attempting to pose her upright. It's entirely down to how you handle the first week, the only week in which the joints can be broken in rather than already being set. Fixing Loose Joints Before They Fail If hefty use over time makes a joint too loose, don't worry; there's typically a way to tighten it. Skeletons with adjustable screws, which are only some, can have their tension renewed by a small adjustment. The costlier alternative is a replacement joint, though it's still a better deal than replacing the whole doll. The earlier you catch it, the easier it is to fix, so ask the producer what kind of adjustment is possible on your precise doll and don't wait until a joint is totally loose. A Feature, Not a Problem The stiffness you encounter on day one is a feature, not a difficulty, which is the bottom line. Because they need to be tight, the joints are tight, and the loosening process is part of owning the doll. Be diligent with each joint, take your time, use heat, and never force anything. You only need a week of effort to be rewarded with a doll that poses naturally for years. More info at this rosslink.
