ball-jointed
Sphere-and-socket hinged
Ball-jointed describes something connected by a ball joint—a mechanism where a spherical end fits into a rounded socket, allowing movement in multiple directions.
The term most often describes dolls with articulated limbs that can be posed in lifelike positions: She collects ball-jointed dolls from Japan.
The same principle appears in anatomy (the hip is a ball-jointed structure) and machinery.
