Yes, the positives are overwhelming. The doll was delivered before the promised date during the mad shipping season. The doll was delivered exactly as promised with correct body, hair and custom green eyes. Except for the wrists, the joints are uniformly tight and help create a doll that will hold a position very well. The doll will do a full split and does not seem to be any worse for the exercise but I would not leave the doll in any extreme pose for an extended period of time as damage could result.
