So this is her spine/shoulder skeleton. Her arms are PVC with plushie armateur superglued inside. I ducted taped them between the strips of Romex that protrude from the sides of the t-joint at the top of her spine.
I put foam tube over the upper parts of her arm, and then duct taped strips of Romex to two pieces of PVC pipe each for the forearms, bent one out to make the elbow, and then duct taped them to the upper arms. They seem to be working great, I'm glad I had some of that plush armateur laying around.
Then I cut out the fabric and foam for the arms and got them sewn together, but I didn't have time to stuff or attach them before my family got home -_-;; maybe tonight.

The mouth opens and shuts well and can even be posed into different expressions to a degree. The only downside is that wire only has so much give before it snaps, so I left the corners of the mouth on the base fabric unstitched in case I have to replace the wire again. Now I'm just struggling to decide what style of eyes will go well with the oversized cartoony lips haha it reminds me of a brats doll head. I'm going to order a candy8teen head as well so she will have a pretty face option.

Got off early today so I had just enough time to stuff her arms and sew one on before my family started getting home. The first pic is of the fabric and foam shell of the arm before I stuffed them. I wish I had made the forearms just a tiny bit larger around, they seem sort of thin to me. I might try and restuff them before I make the hands to get a smoother, fuller shape.
And thanks again to everyone who has viewed this thread, and especially the folks commenting. I'm glad I could share this process with other people who appreciate it, and I hope it motivates people to build their own companions as well. Seeing a new doll build in progress is always the highlight of my time on the forums!

What is that spinal like stuff you used for the shoulder joints ? it looks like the type of thing I have been trying to find for a neck spine for some of my doll mods.

You can buy it online lots of places, I actually got mine from a horse plush at the goodwill. You will need a special tool to connect/disconnect the pieces, or strong thin rope and a heat gun which is what I used.
