>>11326977Jem sports a body that’s on par with a Barbie Made-To-Move body as far as articulation count and joint placement are concerned. She’s got double jointed knees & elbows, cut shoulder joints & upper thighs, plus an upper torso joint. But Jem’s joints are not as well engineered as the MtM Barbie’s joints. Jem has literal cut joints for shoulder & thigh movement, Barbie has her joints molded into the sculpt for a better range of movement and smoother turning. Jem’s joint movement is stiff and ratchet-like.
Jem’s body sculpt is more robust and natural than the thinner Barbie body. The body walks as fine line doesn’t get morbidly rubenesque like the grotesque Laminly doll body, but is also more meatier than the basic twiggy Barbie bucks. As such, Jem has a much thicker chest & arms. She also has larger hands and feet. Also bigger boobs, but they're in scale with that bigger torso. The only part of Jem that is noticeably smaller than Barbie is her head. On this bigger body, it gives Jem a slightly pinhead look.
And then there’s the hair… I won’t sugarcoat it, the hair is awful. Made of cheap material and very little quantity. A real shame for such a stunner of a doll, but corners had to be cut somewhere in order to squeeze in that VIP lanyard to the package.
