Double Jointed Elbow Guide

Sasara's here to show you how it's done! Please excuse her crappy sock sweater... >_>

This is the usual range of the DD elbow joint. If you own a DD, you're probably very familiar with its limitations.

What you do is you grasp on either end of the elbow and pull! You'll probably have to pull real hard the first time. It's kinda scary, but don't worry, she'll be fine!

Then, pop! The elbow joint seperates.

You can see there's an extender thing here. It has notches near the ball joint, which is why it was so hard to pull out. You had to get past the notches.

Also, if you see any pinching in the vinyl of the upper arm the first time you do this, slide the extender in and out to get rid of it.

Now, if the arm isn't being bent, the elbow looks weird pulled out like this.

You can push the extender back in! As long as you don't push it in so far that the notches go back in, you will be able to slide the extender in and out with ease.

If you want, you can slide it in so the notches go in too, and the elbow will return to its single-jointed state until you pull it out again. It will be easier to pop the joint after the first time.

And that's all! I hope this was useful to you!
