I would guess that the Gloom Beach 5 pack were elastic hips because the Gloom Beach range were in the first wave of dolls.

PS : The new mechanical hips started a Toralei, so all the dolls after Toralei will have the new mechanical hips.

With my dolls, the Werecats, Rochelle, my recently-purchased Cupid (from the batch that's been coming lately), Nefera and Skull Shores Lala have the mechanical leg attachment. (For some reason SS Abbey, Gil and Frankie all come with the elastic.)

Dead tired Draculaura, wave one version re-release, (from Walmart) has the new leg joints. Got her last week.

SS Ghoulia also is on elastic, sorry! Mine is anyway. (The only SS one I don't have is Lagoona so I couldn't tell you about her...)

I was conjoined-twin-ing a set of Cupids for a customer when I found 1 had elastic hips and the other had the new hips. :P Made it a pain to connect them but I did it ^_^ Got pics too!
