So I just pulled out Hestia to check, and sure enough, it was her! She's fine now, but maybe there was an ongoing issue with the Hestia line's wrists?<br /><BP78666https://www.blogger.com/profile/06870141883063614690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726715699839627686.post-60419467528763016322012-11-20T07:03:39.016-05:002012-11-20T07:03:39.016-05:00Wow Emily I can't believe I'm posting on y...Wow Emily I can't believe I'm posting on your blog!

She's beautiful, but she set me back quite a lot and I agree that you should get more bang for your buck. The wrists having no pivot is the biggest disappointment, and I wish she could touch her face.

I've heard from people that the newer Momokos are prone to having their necks break, while wrist and ankle breaking comes with the territory. I was given my Momoko as a gift, and I've rebodied her, fearing it would break.

I like Momoko dolls in general because their clothes are quite well made and it just makes them look really fashion. <br />Face wise they seem a bit expressionless, although the ones with bolder lips have a little bit more of life.

I think they are too expensive for the value provided and at that price point there are many other dolls to choose from.
