Post Demeking/other examples of ball joints in vinyl?
Decided it best to put this in Whatever... interested in hearing from anyone who owns a Demeking on how the ball joint at the neck base is... any comments you have on fit, ease of movement, etc, would be welcome.

Also interested to know if there are any other modern sofubi toys with ball joints out there... the only one I'm sure about is Demeking; I guess you could also count the eye in Zudon. Is the neck on ReStore's Kingdom Mind ball-jointed?

List/comment away, please, people!
Thanks!

(This is research! :twisted: )

I have had a few Demekings and the neck joints have varied from figure to figure; some loose, some tight, they all had good range of motion. Even the looser one was still tight enough to keep the head up at the right angle.

^What Patrick said- I have found my Demeking to be one of the higher quality toys Zollmen has produced, with a wide range of motion for the head/neck but sufficiently tight to hold any position.

Ditto on the Demeking. The ball joints stayed in place pretty well on mine and also moved smoothly when moving the head.

I have been wondering does anyone know if Demeking was an Exohead sculpt? It sure looks and feels like it.

Thanks, guys! :D

Be cool to hear from someone with a Kingdom Mind, too... I imagine that's a bit smaller joint...
