Fritz is handy
Mail today has brought me a 12" Ball-Jointed Doll I'd ordered - a Dragon brand "Fritz" from their WWII range. The articulation isn't as nice as the Obitsu or Volks 1/6th figures, and the body also suffers from the usual testosterone-poisoned musculature - these are dolls for boys, after all (no matter if they all call them 'action figures'). But I am blown away by how totally excellent the hands are. Each has a wire armature covered in moulded rubber, and you can move and pose each finger individually!
Très, très cool.
(and whilst I spent the princely sum of £6 on him, I found pictures of the figure online - at the price of $100! or £69 on eBayUK!) [boggles]
