For many beginners, the appearance and makeup of a silicone doll are often the focus of their first glance. However, the key to whether a doll is "easy to use" and "suitable for long-term collection and photography" is actually its internal skeleton design .
As a content creator who has been shooting and reviewing silicone dolls for a long time, Xiaoban has handled dozens of humanoid skeletons from different brands and price points. In this article, I'll explain them in the simplest way:
What is the joint limit design of the skeleton?
What is zero torque adjustment?
How to prevent welding failure, abnormal noise, and locking?
How to judge the quality of a doll's skeleton?
This article is explained by the person in charge of the Andy Eva EvasDoll factory. Starting from the core "skeleton", it helps everyone to have a deep understanding of how to make a good doll from the inside out.
Why are there no customer complaints about Evasdoll skeletons?
✅ Industry's first 360-degree universal neck design
The head can nod back and forth and sway left and right, achieving the natural swaying of a real human figure, which is completely different from the "straight tube design" of other brands.
✅ Multi-stage limit and double shoulder design
Built-in double shoulder limiters protect the joints while allowing the shoulders to be raised and angled for fine-tuning, allowing for more realistic human movements.
✅ 0 torque fine-tuning mechanism for all joints
Each joint can be quantitatively adjusted for torque (using a KG torque meter), ranging from slightly stiff to completely resistance-free (Zero Torque), achieving high-precision shooting needs.
Does welding quality affect the lifespan of dolls? How does Evasdoll address this?
Most of the problems that worry many users, such as "soldering", "unusual noises", and "loosening of the frame", actually come from the following points:
Some brands on the market use fake solder joints or thin solder joints, which can easily loosen over time.
Using inferior steel or low-grade metal (not 304 stainless steel)
The lack of a standardized torque adjustment process can lead to locking or over-loosening after long-term use.
Evasdoll has put a lot of effort into these areas:
✅ All welding points are thickened for higher strength
✅ Made of 304 food grade stainless steel, it has both hardness and corrosion resistance
✅ Each torque point has been tested and standardized by a digital torque meter, and its stability far exceeds that of its peers
The precision of the skeleton, which is "the bigger it is, the harder it is to make", can also be challenged by Evasdoll!
From dolls weighing 55kg to even larger dolls weighing 176cm, Evasdoll offers full-body adjustment with zero torque. What does this mean? Despite their large size and weight, joints remain fluid and natural, allowing photographers and users to effortlessly manipulate and realistically recreate every pose.
This sophisticated design also makes Evasdoll's scrap rate far lower than the industry average, truly "durable", "no damage", and "no strange noises".
🔍 Xiaoban's review: The "realism" of the skeleton is the key to purchasing!
Through Andiva's explanation, we can understand one thing more clearly:
When choosing a doll, the degree of realism is not determined by appearance, but by the movable design of the frame .
What does realistic mean? It means whether her joints can move like a real person.
A truly lifelike doll must meet the following conditions:
✅ The head can nod back and forth and sway left and right (simulating human head muscle movements)
✅ Shoulders can move and sway up and down (expressions and postures are natural)
✅ The sternum and spine can rotate 360 degrees and tilt forward and backward (the "keel" design)
✅ The hip joint, thigh and knee have opening and closing twisting functions
✅ The skeleton as a whole has an "elastic feedback feeling" and is not a stiff and stuck joint
What's special about Andiva's skeleton is that they achieve independent control of multiple joints , which is rare in the industry. For example, the sternum can swing slightly left and right, the waist can naturally lean forward, and even a near 180-degree split can be performed - this is almost unseen in most brands.
Xiaoban has also tested this split function himself. Not only does it have a large angle and smooth movement, but the torque adjustment is also very balanced , and it will not loosen or rebound due to excessive movement. It is very suitable for professional photography, dynamic posing, and long-term collection display.
As you'll see from the photos below, this advanced skeleton allows for more than just static standing; it creates a more lifelike, vibrant sense of movement . This is what those seeking a truly realistic experience should pay attention to.


🔍 Small class review②:
Torque adjustment does not mean a completely loose frame. A truly useful frame must be "quantifiable and controllable"
Many beginners assume there are only two types of doll frames: "torsion-resistant" and "fully loose." However, there's actually a key difference: whether or not the frame can "quantify the torque."
Based on small group testing and interviews, Evasdoll is the only brand that truly offers precise percentage-based torque adjustment . Using a specialized digital wrench, they adjust to the precise damping level (e.g., 80% torque) based on the design of each joint, ensuring each joint is perfectly positioned, neither too loose nor too tight.
In contrast, the "fully flexible frames" on the market are easy to move, but if they are not equipped with a perfect limit design , they are prone to causing the following problems:
Excessive expansion of the frame causes metal fatigue or desoldering
Unstable posture, collapse, damage to the doll's internal structure
After long-term use, the joints cannot rebound and the posture fixation is poor
I've actually seen these situations happen with many affordable brands, especially those that lack in-house frame R&D capabilities and can only purchase generic frames. These manufacturers are usually unable to provide long-term optimization for these issues.
🧠 Recommendation for small classes: When purchasing, please ask clearly whether the frame is designed by yourself.
In addition to Andy Eva, other brands currently on the market that have the ability to independently design frames include:
XTDOLL : has an independent metal processing department and continuously optimizes joint density.
Jinshan Doll : We have our own welding and torque adjustment lines, and we have stable production line management.
What these brands have in common is that they develop their own frameworks, so any problems can be quickly corrected, optimized, and upgraded without having to outsource .
This not only affects the quality of the doll's mobility, but also directly affects your future after-sales service experience.
Therefore, we would like to remind everyone that when choosing a silicone doll, you should not only look at the face and skin, but also the adjustability of the skeleton, torsional stability, and limit safety design, which are also very worthy of inclusion in the comparison list.
FAQs about silicone doll skeletons
Analysis of Common Causes of Silicone Doll Frame Fracture and Loosening
Common causes include poor welding quality (weak welds), lack of limit design, improper torque setting, or poor frame material quality.
It is recommended to choose a brand frame with thickened welds, limit protection, 304 stainless steel material and an adjustable torque system, which can effectively reduce the chance of damage and extend its service life.
Is a fully elastic frame easier to operate? Why is it a problem?
Although a fully flexible frame is easy to operate and does not require strenuous adjustment, if it is not protected by a limit structure, it will cause the posture to exceed the natural range of the human body, thereby causing the frame to bend, break, or welds to fall off.
Furthermore, a fully flexible frame can easily collapse if placed at an incorrect angle, causing permanent deformation to the doll. It's recommended to choose a frame with limited position and torque control for optimal practicality and safety.
Why is an adjustable torsion bar better than a fixed torsion bar or a fully loose bar?
The biggest advantage of an adjustable torsion frame is that it can be quantitatively adjusted according to usage needs. Unlike a fixed torsion frame that is prone to being too rigid, and a fully loose frame that is prone to making the posture unstable.
For example, Andy Eva uses specialized tools to precisely adjust the damping force of each joint (e.g., setting it to 80%). This allows for precise positioning and resistance to damage, whether for photography or posing. This level of adjustability is still rare on the market, making it a top choice for advanced players.
