Hi Everyone,

I apologise for all my newbie post....

but.. coming in from BJD collecting,.... Iam quite curious to hear your opinions
and experiences with Himstedt's "fully" jointed vs head & upper arms joints....

I know they are two different types of dolls.. Iam not comparing them...


Because I have not seen a Himsted in person and have not seen a Himstedt nude...
I have no idea what their bodies look like...

and Iam thinking of bringing home Ajescha or Sini for their fully jointedness..
(plus they are cute!)....but will not make final decision until I see Anna Lu..

Iam expecting Anna Lu sometime this week... I know from the promo photos I've seen
her arms were made bent ..... would it be difficult to put in long sleeve dresses/tops?

..have you had some difficulties with the fully jointeds? body parts falling off?etc..
is it "safer" to get a non fully jointed vinyl?

I did have some Vinyl dolls before--Tonner and MA Cissy (21")......
oh! I even had one big Vinyl doll from Jan McLean-Desire.... wonder if they are about
similar in quality..(was tempted to get Maura and Maggie from 2003 collection)

Thank you for your time and thoughts,
~Mia

I have Anna Lu and love her arms, I haven't had any problems dressing her. I also had a fully jointed one, with the hip joint and loved the poseability xxxxxxxxx

Oh!*!* Maryjo!*!**! Thank you for your input !**! *hugs*
Iam trying to decide between Ajescha /Sini .........

May I ask you if you do redress your Anna Lu....
what (child/infant) size can she wear? Iam thinking maybe
18mos or 24mos..but maybe Iam completely wrong..

and a size 6? shoe? (from what I gather most Himstedts wear?)

Please can you tell me? I think Iam going out of my mind until Friday when she arrives...

The blue outfit is 3-6 months( British size) and their shoes are size 5 but a wide 4 woud fit. xxx

Thank you Maryjo ~**~*~*~
