Both dolls have jointed wrists with straight arms. I think in the late 1980s and the late 1990s, doll makers creating in the Barbie zone - perception of these dolls was that they were NOT Barbie - maintained the smooth, unbroken look of Barbie limbs. So that could be why the elbows weren't jointed. Joints would have been considered ugly. But I need to check to see how the Barbies of those times were, if there were many jointed Barbies at that time.<BR/><BR/>The G5s and the Sunset Mixis have really nice builds. The breasts on the Limited Edition Mixis seem to have been an afterthought. Dressed though, both sets of Mixis look great.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-34677968501810750302009-02-11T21:46:00.000-05:002009-02-11T21:46:00.000-05:00Thanks for the comparison photos.

I was thinking that the G5s looked like Jems because their jointing is the same, especially the straight arms with jointed wrists [a puzzle is there ever was one]. G5s are nicely built!ModernWizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561108162215536146noreply@blogger.com
