DS Loose Joint Demonstration Video

Sate · Post by **Sate** » Wed Apr 13, 2016 4:50 pm

Afternoon,

Here are two videos of me showing the range of motion on my DS 145 Plus with loose joints. The first video shows mostly above the waist movement, and the second goes into the legs and abdomen.

Some pictures of my two DS dolls, the 145 Plus and the 163cm:

Very nice informative videos .

I can see how the loose joints can be more natural.
Also the gaping of the insert is not good for photography .

She is a very sexy lady.
The one thing I liked was how well she can bend .

One position I did not see was how she manages up right in her knees ( cowgirl ) do the knees support her like the elbows do or do they slide out from underneath her?
Again very well done sir

She can indeed get on her knees to ride you or for doggy style, but you'll need to provide some sort of support for the upper body (if she's on top, you'll likely be holding onto the shoulders while the hips go to work on you). This also applies to any other possible pose where the upper or lower body are not supported against gravity.

Just remember the true difference between loose and tight joints is that loose joints won't hold the pose.

Do you think the loose joints aid or hinder dressing her ?

Is that creaking sound in the second video from the doll itself or from your bed? It sounded like bedframe springs but I'm not sure.

Yes very well made, nice to see you taking the time to show up.
Really answered the question about loose or tight.

Thank you

Wow, her fingers flop around less then my TPE doll with finger wires.

I think id find loose joints annoying. Thanks for the video, You have helped me decide more firmly on tight joints for my dolls.]

And I think no finger wires for my next doll.. Its really so nice not to have to straighten all the fingers after every single time the fingers just happen to touch anything. I don't really do photography as much as I would have liked so.

The loose joints do make dressing her a little easier compared to my other DS with tight joints, mainly due to the arms and legs being easier to manipulate (if the arm gets stuck pulling it through a long-sleeve dress or shirt, you can easily move it and get it through without much effort, while with tight joints you may need to stop and use both your arms to move her arm or bend it at the elbow some more to get it to fit).

The creaking in the video is from my bed. DS dolls with tight joints tend to creak as they loosen up, but her loose joints glide with ease with no sound when repositioning.

Hello Sate,
I wonder how far backward her neck can bend. In your video, you only demonstrated her neck bending forward. It is critical to know the limit when bending backward. Forward bending is not a problem since the bending will come to stop when the chin touches the chest. I did not find this kind of demo. in the DS website. Thanks!

Here you go Elfie and Dollylamma.

The pictures included show her balancing on her knees without support, and the position where the neck can no longer bend backward.

The neck looks like it has the same limitations as bending it to the side, where it won't go beyond a few inches (probably less than a 35 degree angle).

You'll have to let me know if the creaking starts on yours, my 160 creaks and squeaks so bad from the legs I've nicknamed here minnie. I've gone as far as looking into some kind of oil syringe to maybe help out? I think a long needle would be pretty easy to oil the joints just not sure if that would solve the issue for long.

And thanks for the videos, they do show off the loose joints better than DS's 30 second flops.
