This type of baby doll is classified by Gotz as a "**Drink and Wet; Anatomically Correct**" or "**Trink- und Naßbaby; Mådchen und Junge**" in German. It has an all-vinyl, hard-bodied baby doll. These baby dolls have elbows and knees (and ankles) that are physically molded to have a "bent" appearance; *which is why dolls can only sit and/or lay flat*; *they cannot stand*. A "Drink and Wet; Anatomically Correct" baby doll is designed to actually drink from a bottle; doll mouths have a hole that allows a specially designed bottle to be inserted. They are also designed to resemble natural human proportions; dolls have physical, external gender-specific (i.e. male or female) reproductive organs for "weeing" (i.e. also known as "wetting"). These dolls are *internally* and *externally* waterproof; baby dolls tend to range in size around 40cm/16".

A "Drink and Wet; Anatomically Correct" baby doll falls within the doll category: "*Play Doll*" as ***these dolls are specifically designed and created with materials capable of withstanding vigorous child play.*** These dolls are mass-produced; they may be bald or have durable "rooted" hair (i.e. hair that has been machine-inserted directly *into* their scalp). Most of these dolls have plastic sleepy-eyes (which open/shut when a doll's position is altered); some have "fixed" (i.e. painted) eyes. *Drink and Wet; Anatomically Correct* baby dolls are are waterproof internally and externally. As dolls intended for play, their outfits are made from fabrics and materials that are selected more for their *durability* and *ease of care* than for their *appearance*. For these reasons, these baby dolls are some of the least expensive baby dolls offered by Gotz.

## "Drink and Wet; Anatomically Correct" Body Type

Gotz classifies this baby doll as a **DRINK AND WET; ANATOMICALLY CORRECT** or TRINK- UND NAßBABY; MåDCHEN UND JUNGE"; these baby dolls have a HARD or VINYL torso and limbs, which means they have articulated joints. Their vinyl limbs may be designed and manufactured ***to appear*** to have slightly articulated limbs (ex. a "bent" knee or elbow); however *these dolls can only stand or lay flat on their own without help; they cannot stand.* Most of these dolls will share the following physical characteristics:

* **ALL-VINYL TORSOS**: These dolls will have a vinyl torso physically sculpted to resemble a baby. Dolls have external gender-specific (i.e. male or female) reproductive organs and can "wee."
* **ALL-VINYL LIMBS**: Limbs may *appear* to be slightly articulated at elbows and knees, but limbs do not have *actual* articulated joints. Both shoulders; hips and neck are articulated. Dolls can sit or lay flat without help; they cannot stand without help.
* **VINYL NECK/HEAD**: Dolls have necks with an internal articulation mechanism that articulates head. Dolls mouths have a hole to allow for a specially designed bottle to be inserted.

## Articulation Classification

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: **MULTI-ARTICULATED (4-5 JOINTS MOVE/POSE)**: Doll can sit 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.

ARTICULATION LOCATIONS: **Both shoulders; both hips; neck**
