Until recently an exclusive feature of $3000+ high-end models, hand bones with a full skeleton (also known as articulated fingers) are increasingly becoming available on medium-priced TPE dolls. This "skeleton finger" system offers significantly more durability and posing capability compared to traditional "wire fingers," making it a must-have feature for doll photography enthusiasts.

Availability and Brands

As of June 2021, top manufacturers including WM Dolls, YL Doll, and Irontech Doll offer this feature on most dolls 140cm and taller. While articulated fingers are normally an affordable fee-paying option, keep an eye on our promotions as they are occasionally offered as a free upgrade.
