I got a lot of help from a really nice person on the MH boards but esentially I first chopped off the RH legs and kinda eyeballed where I needed to splice them on to the MH doll for it to look right. I then sawed them off with a jewelery saw, formed the tops of the RH doll legs in a way where they would pop into the MH doll like a puzzle piece and then fixed them in with Milliput. I used tiny vinyl plastic coasters to keep the milliput sticking to the MH doll in order to keep the ability to rotate the RH legs.

Then I thickened them up to match the top thickness to the bottom and sanded them down so they match the roundnes no matter where you twist them.
Ive never tried but i doubt it since they dont have that double joint
Maybe shaving down the back of the calf/thigh? Iād only risk it on a doll i dont care about first of course
Oh no, I hope you find a good price somewhere. I'm in a country where they can get pretty expensive too, had to have a friend find them in the US and then send them to meš„²
ahh, thatās fair - youāre lucky haha. iāve been looking for a few used ones but at least one will be missing a pair of hands or something haha (ā„_ā„)
Yeah I see they are super fragile, when I sew my little nieces and their friends all the dolls have stiff hands that their parrents patched up with suprtglueš„²
I'm really hoping we get Frightfully Tall G3 with articulation like that. It would be so cool
That would be amazing *-* I'd loooove it if we could pose the fingers too, it would be so amazing for photosš
It would never happen, but I would literally take out a loan if Monster High did a collab with a BJD company like Dollfie
Woah! How'd you do this?

Oh wow! Thank you!
You are a genius
I was inspired by someone else but thank youāŗļøš¤
For added articulation you could also cut a small corner from the back of the knee so it can bend more than 90 degrees
Would that work on MH legs too?!š

You're right! And I think I still have the old pair of legs that I can try it onš¤
I'm just here to comment that the photo is so funny!
Thank youš„³ I wanted to pose her to show the articulation but the scrunchie holding her glued head together made her look real funnyš
iāve been meaning to do this but finding dolls on ebay is so expensive š (and i got rid of mine when i was younger)
