Do you have an example? Are the limbs actually off, or do they have the effect of looking like they can move/be adjusted like a Barbie? I assume you mean the latter, in which case it is done by painting and a lot of time and patience.

Let me try and remember the photographer so I can provide an example.  But, Ive seen it done a couple different ways.  i saw one where the limbs were attached but they look like barbies, even the breasts.. look EXACTLY like a barbie doll.  Then I saw another where it was the models body but there was a slight gap between where the limbs attach.  For example, at the shoulders, the neck, the wrists, etc.  Does that make sense?

I did something doll-like a couple of years ago. I basically blurred the skin a lot and painted insome new highlights .
