I already mentioned to a few people that me and Sarg were thinking of doing a post about Kikipop's posability, as well as taking a comparison photo of her with some other dolls we have. Sarg undressed Popo for trying out some clothes on her, so we figured that it'd be a perfect moment to take the posing and comparison photos as well :)
Popo-chan hopes that you enjoy the photos and find them useful!

Starting off with some basic standing :) Here you can see how the body looks and where her joints are located. She's not an actual BJD, as she's not strung with elastic (to name one thing), even though the jointing can look similar to BJDs from photos. The body is very sturdy and the joints are quite tight, allowing a variety of poses that require good balance.
If you want to raise her arms higher than her shoulders, you need to turn the joints of the upper arm around. There was a little warning note with the doll that you shouldn't try to forcefully lift the arms higher if they're not turned the right way.
Popo clearly wants more clothes and cute things... Hard to resist such cute begging ^^;
This is easy to do as well, though she only seems to be able to stand on her right leg D: Her left foot's big toe is pointing up a little bit and it makes her balancing on that leg pretty much impossible... But standing on the right leg = not a problem.
In this photo you can maybe see that pointing big toe (left foot) better :D
She can't crouch lower than this without loosing her balance
But doing some dance moves seems to come naturally from this girl :'D
In her arrival post, I mentioned that she can't sit, but after we took off her clothes we managed to get her sit in some way. Her thigh joints are veeery tight and it's more difficult to move them if she's wearing pants ^^; Here Popo is sitting on a chair, she leans back quite a bit and the pose looks a little stiff.
Sitting with her legs straight she needs to lean back even more ^^; Since the head is empty inside and the material is lighter than the rest of the doll, she can move her head without loosing her balance all the time. In this pose she doesn't fall on her back even though it looks like that might happen.
Crawling like a baby? Not a problem :'D
Even I find this pose hard to do, but Popo seems to be quite flexible XD
Some stretching~ This pose was a bit challenging to do, but the left big toe that made one pose impossible, helped with this one :D
You can take off her hands, but the other parts seem to be stuck on the doll and can't be changed. We're a bit unsure about the feet and head though, but they're so tight that we don't want to risk the doll breaking ^^; The attaching system on the hands is quite similar to the one that Lil Fairies have :)
She can touch her face with no problem!
Lastly, let me show you a comparison of Kikipop with some other dolls:
From left to right:
Fairyland Littlefee - Kikipop - Pureneemo S - Picconeemo S
As you can see, Kikipop is quite different from any other dolls we have :) Some wider yo-SD shoes can fit Kikipop dolls, we tried on some random shoes from Alice's Collections and at least those seemed to fit. Clothing can be a bit more tricky, as you can see there's some difference in the torsos and Kikipop also has a bit shorter legs, yet the lower legs and ankles are thicker compared to Littlefee. I'll be sure to post some more info and pics if/when we find some clothing that fits Popo :)
If you have any questions regarding the posing, size or anything else you're wondering about Kikipop dolls, don't be afraid to ask~
