Anime Doll: Old Skeleton vs New Skeleton

[bigtedybare69]

I just wanted to know if anyone has seen or owns the plush anime dolls made by Beautiful Dolls one with the new Skeleton and one with the old design. I would like to know the pros and cons of both designs. I really want to buy one but just wanted to know if its really worth the extra money to upgrade to the new Skeleton or is the old design just fine. And which design would give a better long term durable life. Just asking cause on Beautiful Dolls website they give you the option of the old skeleton or for 100 dollars more upgrade to the new skeleton. I have received a email from a member of Doll Forum and he thinks they don't even offer the old design skeleton anymore. So im not sure .

The one I owned used the old skeleton, and I did not have any problems with it. I think I recall reading that the new skeleton offers enhanced range of movement, but the old skeleton did everything that I wanted it to.

The old skeleton does not hold poses by itself. The shoulder joints, hip joints and neck don't stay in position very well. Her arms don't stay up at all, she can't stand without a stand and her head doesn't stay straight when she sits, always going far forward or backward.
If you just want her for your bed(cuddling or sex) that's okay, but if you want her for photographs you're very limited with the old skeleton. I'm thinking about an upgrade to the new one somewhere in the future.

I could be mistaken but I thought I read a post from Beautiful Dolls awhile back that the old skeleton wasn't available anymore and all new anime dolls will feature the new skeleton. Might be worth contacting Beautiful Dolls to find out for sure, they are very quick to reply to any questions people have asked.
