Unlike many dolls she comes with instructions which show how far the joints should be bent. Arms above the head are a no,no. The arm and leg joints are held in place with plastic pins. You can secure the head in this was but Psion advised not to as the head can easily be removed for moving and dressing. As for dressing it is easier that a Teddy Babe as the surface is smooth. Stockings just slide right up.  She is a perfect size 4 and takes size 3 shoes. On your other point ... we all know Nicole!!  |
I did look up the Ex-lite and her construction seems similar to the
flexible PU shop mannequins along with the care in moving limbs and their limits.
You are right that like all dolls if you take care when moving their limbs and don't force or put them in unnatural positions you can minimize the risk of tears and joint damage.
What sets the Ex-lite apart for me though is far superior in looks to a flexible shop mannequin but at a similar price. DS could make a fortune selling the Ex-lite to clothes shops as well if they wanted to. They only might need a slight modification so a stand can be fixed to one foot to make it free standing for display use.
