Yup

Yeah, I have yet to see a pair of current release MSD shoes that didn't list DDP. The items that don't fit tend to be outfits with pants. Underwear usually doesn't fit either, but there are exceptions.

Every time I want to change the clothes of my Jeanne d'Arc or to pose her for a photo, if I move her legs too much (and too much is often not that much), they fall

After that I have to spend at least 30 minutes to succeed plugging the legs back into place. It makes me wonder if I should try to find a traditional DDIII body to replace it.

Does anyone else have the same issue with their DD-f3 and/or a solution?

At the pelvis or at the knee?

Recently I got a dd F3 for one of my girls and had a similar problem. So, like me, maybe you didn't notice yet that in the waist joint part, there is a kind of "internal guide" (I can't imagine a better term right now) that connects perfectly with the another internal guide present in the thighs as well. Once both are perfectly aligned, press both thighs using your palms until they're totally in. Don't use a lot of force, go slowly.

Its tricky at the beginning but once you get it, you'll have a pair of solid thighs that don't fall anymore. So solid that both will be a little hard to move even for you. In this case youll need a screwdriver to loose them a little bit.(This was my experience).

Hope this helps.

Basically two thigh parts are designed to interlock inside the torso frame.

 

— 

Gently pushing the thighs inward after posing the legs is something I usually do. Even if you don’t do that, the legs shouldn’t be falling off.
 

If the issue is the joint at the hip, you can remove both legs, and then pull the frame out of the lower torso. Then reassemble all three parts outside the body, and see if they fit together firmly. That should help you see how they interlock too. 

The drawback to doing this is then you have to put the legs back on inside the doll. Since you've already been doing that you know what this involves, and seeing how it all interlocks outside the body may help.

I know about the "internal guide", and I can put the legs back in place, but even when placed as firmly as possible, they still tend to fall easily, as if the diameters of the various parts did not fit well enough to keep them in place.

I also have a DDP, with a f3, but I don't have that kind of issue with her.

Since the thighs and internals were being discussed, I thought I would link this post from the Volks Dreamy DD blog that just went up. It's in Japanese of course, but the pictures may be helpful to someone:

That is useful. 

Hello Is it possible to tighten the elbow joint on DDP (f3)? I can't find screws there. They seem to be very loose and the manual said the body is very adjustable in terms of strength in the joints, but I can't find a way to strengthen the elbows. Is it the same for the MDD f3? Because DD f3 definitely has the screws in the elbow that I can't seem to find on my Ribbon! I also tightened her neck joint but she is very wobbly in the head. I'm a bit disappointed by these flaws have to admit!

There's a how-to guide for the DDP body here and it looks like there's no adjustable elbow joint, unfortunately.  The MDD F3 seems to also not have elbow screws, either.

Yes... I got this guide in the manual and I have to admit I'm very disappointed in this. Why would they not put the adjustable screw if they make floppy joints?? I tried disassembling her arms entirely and putting them back together and it's a tiny bit better but still, in the promo pic she was holding Coron on her back 🤣 I was expecting stronger arms!! Not obitsu 50 sturdy arms but still! I'm gonna need to find another way.

With DDP the arms are so thin I suspect they had some limitations on what they could add in terms of adjustment points.
