Posable Mannequins for drawing?

Hey, I was looking online for a posable mannequin, and I was seeing if anyone could recommend a certain one.

The wooden ones tend to be really stiff, and not very useful. I recommend using an action figure or a Made-to-Move Barbie instead

I see, thanks. I'll look into more action figures.

If at all you're interested in a digital one, here's a site I'll occasionally use.

Yeah, I tried digital ones. However, I prefer to use my hands to arrange more poses rather than a program. I grew up with legos and gundam models, so it's more of a personal preference. (Not trying to knock down these programs, I think they're awesome.)

Thanks for the suggestion though, glad to know that there are people willing to help out.

Well, if you don't like programs, you always can have toys!! err... posable mannequins.

Let me suggest you the Body Kun and Body Chan.
There are very posable, and come with a lot of extras, depending on the model you buy. Also come with differents skin colors. In AliExpress you can find a lot of knock off models that will -mostly- do what you want. The female version tends to be a bit more fragile, though.

Another options are the TBLeague figures. You have male and female, different heads, sizes, skin color, and builds! There are a lot of options here, and there are people that even make them clothing if you want to go a bit extra <3
Again, AliExpress is a great choice to buy, and the quality of the figures are excelent.

Hope this suggestions help you decide! Cheers!

Ok, thanks! I'll look into those. Honestly gravitating towards the former, so I might consider that.

I found a mobile app for creating a posable mannequin; it's very user-friendly, in my opinion. I've been using it ever since I downloaded it!
It's called Magic Poser. Please give it a try if you're comfortable using your phone, haha.

Hmm, I'll give it a try at least. Thanks.

The TB League figures look good,
I have the Body Kun & Chan and I can´t recommend them, the quality isn´t good

I have the Figma archtype next figures, and I find them pretty useful when I'm stuck on a pose. They're similar to Body-kun/chan, but with different proportions, and no extra props. Still kinda pricey, but I like them anyway (got mine from amiami).

I did a post about this and got lots of feedback a while back. Mayhaps you'll find something useful
