It seems like the Momoko body is usually left out of the comparison shots, for whatever reason. I'm kind of surprised, I always thought their articulation was good, but I'm not sure what I based that on, lol. Photos, I guess. There's so much give and take when it comes to articulation. Wish there was just one perfect doll... I’d love to see a comparison post like that. It seems like the Momoko body is usually left out of the comparison shots, for whatever reason.

When it comes to doll /AF hair I really have very little patience and want it to behave--otherwise it (or the figure) goes (or gets stuffed at the back of the shelf).

My biggest (<em>and really only</em>) beef with them (<em>and what makes me reluctant to buy more</em>) is that they have <strong><em>such poorly articulated bodies</em></strong>. It doesn't matter to a lot of doll collectors, but I since I'm more about range of motion & poseability than aesthetics it matters a bunch to me. I probably should do a comparison post one day between the momoko body, the volks beauty body & a fashionista barbie body. Maybe that would be helpful for other folks?

Can't wait to see what you've done with her hair. Make sure you take lots of breaks to stretch-- don't want to get a re-rooting hump! :wink: *sigh* One day, Momoko, one day… Can’t wait to see what you’ve done with her hair.

Will be interesting to see your customized Sarah though. I have this Momoko, too, and LOVE her hair color(s). Will be interesting to see your customized Sarah though.
