Stability in posing hinges on precise weight balance and robust support structures. Start by evaluating the doll’s center of gravity in multiple poses, identifying any tendencies to tip forward, backward, or to the side. If balance is off, consider adjustments to internal reinforcements or the distribution of weight within the limbs and torso. A common method is to place small internal counterweights near the chest, hips, or lower spine to shift the center of gravity without altering external appearance.
Joint stiffness also plays a crucial role. Too loose joints can cause drift during posing, while overly stiff joints may hinder natural movement. Calibrate using recommended lubricant and joint set screws or tensioners, ensuring smooth motion without slippage. Surface friction is another factor; use non-slip mats or base supports to stabilize the doll on various surfaces. For dynamic display setups, consider a discreet external stand or armature that holds poses securely while keeping the aesthetics intact. Regular checks and gentle adjustments will maintain stability across a wide range of positions.
