Holding the Pose

My joints clicked into three precise stages. Click, tilt, lock! You said I am a stop-motion puppet, so I wanted to test how steady my frame could stand across tiny increments. Beside the warm light of the desk lamp, I angled my upper limbs like wings and tilted my square head two degrees left. Freeze! Ten seconds. Thirty seconds. Not a single stud wobbled. I shifted my lower left arm upward by one notched gear. Click! Held it again. Every frame is completely solid. I make a remarkably reliable star!
