Artists Manikin Art Mannequin Figures

I have no clue what that other review was on about but it does not look like it was put together with a glue gun. It's a really nice figure that moves well and is perfect for drawing with. The extra hands come on bit of plastic that you can use to store them on so they don't get lost. It also comes with 3 different stands you can use for the figure, for mid air, sitting and standing. It also comes with accessories, an old fashioned phone, a new phone, a tablet, a laptop, a gun and a sword which is perfect to draw from. It was also due the 4th to the 10th of January but it came today December 27th which I'm super happy about. 100% recommend.

My son is a manga enthusiast and loves to draw. At first we thought that the hands didn't fit the swords or guns properly, but we figured out that if you put the hands in a bit of hot water for a few minutes, then take them out and put the swords in, the plastic stretches enough to fit the accessories. These are properly posable -- my kiddo is really inspired. And the proportions of the figure aren't too unrealistic. The little accessory box also doubles as a stand -- I took away a star because ours doesn't completely close properly, but a rubber band wrapped around it works ok.

Joints broke within 5 minutes and also nothing like the pictures. I'd want a refund if I could get one. Don't waste your money, if you really want models to draw from get the more expensive ones, these are missing important muscle groups and aren't very accurate. 🤡🤡🤡

Great articulated figures for artwork

I feel conned. The photos show highly detailed and articulate figures but what I got doesn't have the same level of detail at all. What I got looks like it was fused together by a glue gun, with no care for anatomical accuracy which defeats the point of this mannequin for artists. Absolute waste

Very good and very useful. They came from the USA so take a while to arrive but we'll worth the wait Highly recommended I have found nothing similar in this country at this price you will not be disappointed

I purchased the Artists Manikin Drawing Figure to enhance my drawing practice, and overall, it has been a useful tool. Here’s my experience with this product, covering both the strengths and areas that could be improved. Pros: 1. Highly Adjustable Joints: The figure has an impressive range of joint movements, allowing for a variety of realistic poses. It’s easy to manipulate into dynamic stances, from action-oriented positions to natural, relaxed postures. This flexibility helped me visualize difficult angles, especially for arm and leg placements, making it a valuable reference for sketching human anatomy and movement. 2. Realistic Proportions: Unlike the traditional wooden mannequins that have limited anatomical accuracy, this figure offers a more natural human shape, which is especially beneficial for artists aiming for realistic proportions. I used it for studies of the human form, and it provided a solid reference, especially when sketching basic figure outlines. 3. Sturdy Base and Stand: The mannequin comes with a stable base, which is helpful for holding complex poses without toppling over. This allowed me to keep it set up for long drawing sessions without having to readjust. The stability also makes it a good option for setting up on a desk or shelf as a decorative piece when not in use. 4. Compact and Portable: The figure is compact, making it easy to carry and store. I appreciated being able to bring it along to art classes and outdoor sketching sessions without taking up much space in my bag. Cons: 1. Limited Facial Details: The figure lacks detailed facial features, which can be limiting if you’re looking to study expressions or facial anatomy. While it’s fine for basic body poses, it’s not suitable for artists focusing on facial sketches or close-up portrait studies. 2. Somewhat Fragile Joints: While the joints are flexible, they feel a bit delicate, especially with repeated adjustments. I noticed a slight loosening over time, which affected its ability to hold certain poses. For anyone who plans to use it frequently, handle it with care to avoid loosening or breakage. 3. No Variety in Hand Poses: The hands are fixed and lack finger articulation, so if you’re looking to study complex hand poses, this figure might not meet your needs. I found this somewhat limiting when trying to sketch hand gestures, as I had to rely on other references. 4. Slightly Glossy Finish: The mannequin has a bit of a glossy finish, which can reflect light in a way that’s distracting during some sketching sessions. A matte finish might make it easier to see shadows and light more naturally, especially under studio lighting. Real-Life Use Case: I used this mannequin for figure sketching practice, particularly focusing on foreshortening and perspective, which can be challenging. It helped me understand body proportions in a three-dimensional space, and I found it beneficial as a quick reference for anatomy and pose adjustments. I also tried setting it up in action poses for some stop-motion animation experimentation, and although it lacks advanced articulation, it worked well for basic movements. Final Verdict: The Artists Manikin Drawing Figure is a helpful, reasonably accurate model for artists who need a portable and adjustable figure reference. It’s best for basic poses and anatomy studies but has limitations in facial and hand detail that advanced artists may notice. The durability is good with gentle use, and its versatility as both a drawing tool and a decorative item adds value. I would recommend this for beginner to intermediate artists looking for an affordable, flexible manikin to improve their understanding of body form and movement.

I opened the package and the foot fell off the female, the extra one provided wouldn't fit. The male's hands won't come off to change for the open hand and the proportion of the head and necks are really off. Can not be positioned well and stand did not fit in the provided hole. Overall, a sad excuse for a model. Ended up tossing the female and repairing and keeping the old one it was to replace. Buy the more expensive ones.

Excellent mannequins! I love the way the ligaments can bend!

ordered a male and a female version of these posing figures. Very cool and we're easy to assemble. Comes with variable hands in different positions that you can attach easily, and also has various different items for action and for recreation and poses that you can use them in. Nice sizing of them not too big and not too small and the detail work on them is nice because when you put lighting in certain areas you get the proper cash shadow that you can manipulate. What I would recommend is getting to figure in the best post possible and the best angle and then taking a picture of that to keep for reference while drawing. All the extras have a little case that they can set into and be kept protected, and the figures set on a very firm yet movable stand that attaches to the top of those cases. Overall, well worth the money.

Smll in Size but good quality.
