Artists Manikin Art Mannequin Figures

There are two separate products made by two separate companies on this page. The sets with the 2 figures are extremely poor quality and impossible to pose. Every time you try to move a limb it simply pops off. This coupled with the fact that they look nothing like the pics (think slightly deformed humans), they are useless junk. The figures sold separately are exactly what you are looking for. Well sculpted and extremely poseable. They come with 20 interchangeable hands and an assortment of odd accessories that can all be stored in the sturdy base. Having purchased both kinds, I highly recommend you get the individual figures.

Honestly, just find a higher quality one and go for that. These things barely hold together. Their necks are huge, their limbs fall off when trying to pose them. Sometimes when you pose them, certain body parts will come out a bit, and they won’t go back. The male one is basically just garbage. The legs pop off insanely fast on him specifically. You can barely pose the heads at all because of the neck situation. If the head or neck comes off, sure. You can put it back. But it isn’t the same. It’s so, so wonky. Save yourself the time and money. Buy a different one. After recording the video for my review, when the head came off, I literally cannot get the neck to reattach. Don’t buy these lmao

Like I said in the title, great little drawing figures! They look as pictured, they have a nice range on motion, and are generally very satisfactory. So, you may be thinking... why only 4 stars? Not 5? There's a small reason, and maybe it's even just the ones I got... The figures I got, both of them, the head/neck joints were connected incorrectly... It was fixable. Pop em off, flip them around correctly, and reconnect them. It was just a hassle I shouldn't have to deal with... And, on small figures like these, it feels like doing so could easily snap something. Fortunately, I was successful! Again, other than the potentially questionable joints, and the delicate feel... they're really great! I'm really glad I rolled the dice, and bought them!

This artist’s mannequin set is a classic case of “you get what you pay for.” It serves its basic purpose, but the quality leaves a lot to be desired. The material feels very cheap and lightweight, which makes it feel fragile to the touch. I find myself handling it carefully because I’m worried that too much movement or pressure might cause it to break. While the models do help with basic figure drawing and pose references, they don’t seem very durable. After some use, the joints start to feel loose, and the whole structure seems like it’s on the verge of falling apart. I initially thought I might have just received a defective set, but after looking at other reviews, it seems like this is a common issue. That being said, if you’re a beginner looking for an inexpensive tool to practice basic poses and proportions, this set could still be useful. However, if you plan to use a mannequin frequently, I’d recommend investing in a higher-quality one that will last longer and provide better stability. Overall, it’s an okay product for casual use, but if you need something more durable, you might want to look elsewhere.

The best possible mannequin I’ve found. These are quite small, but every joint is poseable. Great for artists.

I didn’t do my normal Amazon homework where I look at every possibility and compare and only then choose the item I want. I am working on musculature and felt at the moment these manikins had better detail. I did not see there was a flesh color in the choices. These are very posable, however the grey requires more light. These are not what I read in the description, ART manikins. They are action figures. This grey would be a great color if you were going to paint them. The flesh tone would be far better for posing and drawing. One of the packages appeared to have been opened, but not missing anything (there are other feet and hands). There are two sets of “warnings” in 5 languages, none English on the package. Their brand description is “figma action figure series”. The movable joints range from easy to the worst arthritis ever! And in posing this guy without much force his leg popped off. I was rushing when I ordered these, so errors are on me. Still, this product is not what it says it is. My order says the item I ordered was not the same as the page that I am shown I ordered. I am positive there was no “flesh” color offered, I would have ordered them that way. One saving grace is they will fit in my 1” scale dollhouses, so maybe I will paint them up (the grey will work better for painting). I don’t normally put people in my houses, I find that distracting but, I could build them a gym to work out in! I will certainly not do a “rush” order again! Every time I do this is what happens. There is a web site on the package (printed in the same color as the background, found that accidentally. Hopefully that will tell me what lube to use to loosen joints and what product to use to tighten the loose joints! I didn’t say this was a set, I also have the female. Now I will cross my fingers that the head and neck manikin with what appears very detailed musculature I ordered at the same time is what “the picture looked like”! Be safe and rock on!

So nice. Now I can improve my drawing skills

The mannequins were not very realistic seeing I would be using them for details I would as if I looked at a real life model as a reference. The males neck looked like a turkey neck and he must really spend many many hours at that no judgement gym. Because I never seen any real life man have a neck like this. The female mannequin refuses to flex properly and when I attempt to even position her in any poses she just falls apart. I can’t seem to keep her limbs on her head just falls off her legs and every other part just falls apart. My son said how ever he admired the male one cause he seemed dedicated to his gym routine lol. That is the only complement these things will get from me. Very disappointed in the size, the reference to drawing a human would be horrible cause we don’t look like that as a looking and drawing depiction of a human. The model is made of a hard pvc plastic which I can say is strong but doesn’t stay together is to heavy for there stands and falls over and then they don’t stay together either so.
