1989 JAQUELINE - Soft Standing 19" WEICHSTEHPUPPE 09009

This Gotz Play Doll **JAQUELINE** was produced in **1989**; she measures **48cm/19"** tall and has a Doll ID # or Catalog Code: **09009**. She has "rooted," **medium-length tightly curled red hair with straight bangs**; her hair is styled up in a ponytail. Her "sleepy-eyes" are **GRAY** and have a **PINWHEEL** eye design. *Please Note: JAQUELINE has a decorative knit figure attached to her sweater; different variations of this figure exist and her outfit also slightly varies as well (ex. from white to pink tights; yellow to pink hair ribbon, etc).*

Gotz categorizes this doll as a **SOFT STANDING DOLL** (or "Weichstehpuppe") due to its *SOFT* body type (it is made out of soft, padded cloth) and to its ability to *SIT/STAND with help* (see Articulated Dolls).

**Weichstehpuppe's** are classified as a "Play Doll;" ***they have been specifically designed and created with materials capable of withstanding vigorous child play***. Play Dolls primarily have "rooted" hair, or hair that is inserted directly into the skull, (although some may have a Kanekalon wig); "rooted" hair is very durable and can be repeatedly pulled/tugged. They may have "fixed" (painted, open/shut) eyes or "sleepy-eyes" (eyes open/shut when a doll's position is altered) made from quality plastics. Their outfits, while still high-quality and well-crafted, tend to be made from fabrics and materials that are selected more for durability and care than appearance. Finally, these dolls and their body parts are mass-produced and are not designed by a specific Doll Artist.

* **ARTICULATION LOCATIONS: None**
* **ARTICULATION TYPE: Non-Articulated**

## Articulation Explained

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/or **hold that body part in a pose.** Each **moveable, poseable doll body part** will typically have a ball-jointed socket, 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* are then added up to classify the doll within a specific articulation type. It is important to catalog this information as many dolls share the same face mold but have different body types.

## SOFT STANDING DOLLS

These dolls are classified by Gotz as **SOFT STANDING DOLLS** or **WEICHSTEHPUPPE** due to their SOFT, padded, cloth torso; shoulders and upper thighs and for to their ability **to sit/stand with help**, which means these dolls have:

* **CLOTH TORSOS**: These dolls will have a white or tan, soft, padded, cloth torso.
* **CLOTH UPPER THIGHS**/Non-Articulated: These dolls do not have ball-jointed sockets; therefore, they **cannot stand on their own** (they are frequently shown standing with the aid of a doll stand) and **they cannot sit without help** (they are frequently shown in a sitting position while leaning against something).
* **CLOTH SHOULDERS**/Non-Articulated. These dolls have cloth shoulder joints that do not articulate.
* **VINYL or CLOTH NECK**: Some dolls within this category will either have either a "fixed" vinyl or cloth neck. These necks do not articulate but are capable of being manually rotated *within* the cloth doll torso.
