Weight and balance influence stability, posing, and realism. Proper distribution ensures natural stances, fluid movement, and a comfortable feel when handling or posing the doll. If the doll uses a hollow interior or an internal frame, verify that the weight is evenly distributed to prevent wobble or tipping. Heavier dolls require sturdy supports and a stable surface to prevent accidents during use or repositioning.
When adjusting balance, start with the base or feet. A broad, flat surface provides the most reliable footing. If you’re customizing the doll with accessories, ensure added components don’t shift weight excessively or affect alignment. Regular checks help catch gently loosening joints or shift in the internal structure before they become problematic.
Storage choices can impact balance over time. Keep the doll in a supported, upright position when possible to prevent deformation. If lying down, place on a flat, cushioned surface to distribute weight evenly. Thoughtful attention to weight and balance enhances safety and overall realism, making interactions more enjoyable and stable.
