Paper Moon dolls[https://www.pmoon.co.jp/TOUSHINDAI/index.html Paper Moon dolls] are five feet tall life-size dolls cast in resin. They have pronounced anime features, and have specially constructed joints that are superficially similar in appearance to ball and socket joints. But due to the inherent difficultiy in stringing such a large doll with elastic, internally the joints are hinged. Unlike many other lifesize dolls, Paper Moon dolls are not sex dolls.
