Was just wondering if anyone who has Rainbow High dolls have had issues with their joints being really tight, and whether you were able to fix them.

They’re so cute, but I’m disappointed with their posing. The two on the right, especially. The one’s arm won’t bend at the elbow, and the other I can’t bend her hand at all. I’m afraid of snapping it if I put too much force on it.

I was considering painting a tiny bit of cuticle oil into their joints to see if that will help loosen them. Would that make too much of a mess, though? I don’t want to ruin them by accident or get oil all over them.

Try heating some water and soaking the stuck joints for a few minutes. Then hold the most delicate areas to brace it and slowly start working it loose. The heat should help soften the plastic long enough to help it unstick.
