## Articulation

Articulation refers to whether or not a doll ***can move one or more of its body parts (neck; arms; legs; waist, etc) independently of its body*** and **hold that body part in a pose.** Each **moveable, poseable doll body part** will have an internal articulation mechanism referred to as an articulation joint, and each *articulation joint* is located on a specific part of the body (known as an articulation location). These *articulation locations* can then added up to classify the doll within a specific articulation type. It is important to identify the articulation type on a doll as many dolls will share the same face mold but will have different body types.

**ARTICULATION TYPE: PLEASE ENTER**

1. **NONE: (0 JOINTS MOVE/POSE)**: Doll cannot sit/stand unaided; no body part can independently articulate. Body parts may be sculpted bent (as with baby dolls' legs) vs. articulate. Shoulders and upper thighs are FIXED. Head may be FIXED or rotate only. Ex. Soft-bodied dolls/baby dolls will fit within this category. For information on Non-Articulated Dolls, please click this link.
2. **PARTIAL ARTICULATION (2-3 JOINTS MOVE/POSE)**: **Either shoulders or hips will articulate**= if only hips articulate, doll will sit/stand without help; if only shoulders articulate, doll cannot sit/stand unaided. Head may articulate; be fixed; or rotate only. Ex. Most breastplate dolls will fit within this category.
3. **MULTI-ARTICULATED (4-5 JOINTS MOVE/POSE)**: Doll can sit/stand unaided; **both** shoulders and hips will move/pose; head may articulate or rotate only. Ex. Most AG-style body types will fit within this category.
4. **FULLY ARTICULATED (6+ JOINTS MOVE/POSE)**: Doll can sit/stand unaided; both shoulders and hips articulate; neck articulates. Additional body parts will articulate: waist; both elbows; both wrists; both knees; both ankles will move/pose if articulated. Dolls within this category are mostly vinyl however, a few types of cloth dolls will fully articulate. Ex. Happy Kidz and Nane Roskothen dolls (fully-articulated cloth doll) will fit within this category.
