xposted: Modding Double Jointed BBB bodies to sit.

[landwhale]

For some dolls it is normal. It is just how they're made. My D.I.M. doll does this. Since I don't have a single jointed doll from RS/BBB I don't know what the reason is for the hunch. It could be the stringing is loose. This mod only really applies to the double jointed bodies from RS/BBB like the one in the photos. Before you mod your doll, look closely at the way the joints move and figure out whats preventing it from posing the way you want. Sometimes it's an easy mod and sometimes it isn't. Other times it might not be the sculpt but just how it' strung or if the resin is too smooth for it to hold a pose properly.

My BBB/RS hasn't arrived yet so I can't speak for their slouch, but my DZChen had the worst slouch before I sueded him which is how his torso locked into place. Now he can sit completely straight, although if he's sitting on the edge of a shelf I prefer him to slouch a bit for long term balance. For slouches I was told to always try hot glue suedeing before anything more drastic.

I have both the SJ and DJ bodies for my two girls. My Penny (SJ RS body) doesn't sit straight, but tightening her strings helped her slouching a lot.

Interesting Mods on your RS DJ body.

To my understanding BBB bodies are all double jointed torsos. RS was the only one who has the single jointed torso.
My girl has the classic RS body and she does have to 'slouch' to sit up but it isn't too bad. I have her sueded and that makes it easier to slouch her so I don't have to bend her all the way or straighten out all the way.

Sadly I find the confusion between BBB and RS has led to some disappointed people. They order doll A expecting one body and get a different one. I have seen this happen more than once. If the doll is on RS it is a RS doll. But if the doll is on BBB but NOT on RS it is a BBB doll.

Wow. When I get my sprite I should do this, but damn, I'm kinda scared of the resin dust and then screwing it up.

If the doll is on RS it is a RS doll. But if the doll is on BBB but NOT on RS it is a BBB doll.

This is something that's always confused me a bit. For instance, I ordered the Dai sculpt (which is also on RS) from BBB. Therefore I'm assuming there will be some sort of difference in body and I should call it a BBB...but confused. Is it also a RS then and I should refer to it as a RS/BBB? I apologize, I know this is a bit OT for the thread.

FamedGlory BBB does casting for several doll companies. RS and Garden of Dolls are just a couple. The RS sculpts are separate from BBB sculpts even though BBB does sell them through their website.
These mods were done on a RS Double jointed body Pleasesaveheart The sprite is a BBB sculpt and will have the BBB body and I don't believe that she would need the mods.
