I normally prefer ball joint dolls (bjd) to mechanical joint dolls (mjd) but I do like this doll. The joints move easily so she can be posed in multiple ways. The clothes were easy to put on but I do wish the dress fit a little more snuggly. My favorite thing about the doll is it came with an extra face plate and head cap so I can make a custom face and wig. The doll also comes with extra hands, feet, and some joint pegs. The doll did stand on her own with some effort. Personally I use poster putty on the bottom of the shoes to help my dolls stand on the shelf. I will probably end up ordering at least two more just because I like the style of this doll. Read more
