A hobby isn't supposed to leave you wistful, regretful and vaguely disappointed. BJD collecting is as customizable as the dolls themselves. Do whatever pleases you the most, because otherwise, why do it at all? All for the 'Gram Bitches love the 'Gram.

Dolls with internal skeletons (Dollfie Dreams and large Obitsus) don't have a springy elastic band holding the joints and such together like resins. From usage those internal "bones" and "sockets" can come apart a little bit each time they are twisted and pulled. It can happen slowly so many owners don't even notice till suddenly, "Why is one leg longer than the other?"
Try pushing all her leg parts together: ankle into shin, shin on to knee joint, knee joint into the upper thigh, etc. to make sure all her parts a seated tightly together.
Here's a picture of what everything inside those legs looks like including the "hidden joint", which moves only a few degrees allowing deep knee bends.

And the nose. Anime characters generally don't have nostrils or a philtrum.

I've seen this photo before, I should have remembered what to do too, because I think someone else had this problem.I've pushed up a bit, it seems to help. And yet, reading about this and then actually doing it.... wow they were waaaaaaay different!

Congrats on Miku and y'know it really does depend on how the head turns out. Miku goes under a lot of different styles in various song stories. You might put chara eyes in the Haruka head and could turn out perfection if not:

"Nope! Chuck Testa." *Shot*
