This was a gift for our grandson. He is very artistic and he absolutely loves this!!! His art teacher was impressed with it as well. The quality is excellent, delivery was great.
Thank you so much.

Had to see for myself if it really was as good as everyone said it was. And i'm not disappointed! I'm particularly happy with how tough the joints feel as they click into place. No more flimsy plastic materials, Finally..!
My one issue with it is the price. It's just.. quite high. Considering that it's already quite an expensive job/hobby to be an artist. This really is up there. Had to really flinch at the checkout.
That said- if you are looking for a solid reference for your art. Look no further. This is a solid, solid addition to your creative temple.

I love my stickybones! It has been a wonderful tool for drawing dynamic poses and a fun addition to my room decor.

As depicted in photos and it performs as expected.

Eugene is so happy to be alive! Love my new Sticky Bones dude. As an animation director who doesn't draw, this is going to change the way I communicate with our team of animators and illustrators.

I have been looking for an artist mannequin with this much flexibility for some time. This is perfect! I am a professional illustrator and give this two thumbs up!

my son is thrilled

I love it, though things rub off on it easily and don't get out. Such as a buildup of things on my finger build on it, and I need to clean it because of that. And the fingers easily get detached from the hand, and easily could get lost. I also thought the arms were maybe a small amount too short. I had issues making the pose of the "thinking man" statue. But, other than that, it holds a pose amazingly well, and is a great reference. I can imagine myself to keep using this for years in the future with how durable it feels.

Really great quality parts. So much more useful than those wooden art school figures.

Your assembly video is not so good. It’s a pretty shoddy production and wasn’t entirely helpful, especially the parts where your hands were in the way of what you were attempting to demonstrate.

Perfect for studying poses

Possibly the best reference for drawing and animating, everything pops into place fairly easily. Posing the body is no problem but the fingers did tend to fall out easier than I'd like it to

This is an excellent product! Ships and arrives super fast. Easy to put together. Poses smoothly and holds the pose perfectly.
I bought 2 over the past 2 months because they are exactly what I needed for my projects.
Killer product. 5 stars. Get it Stickybones!

As a parkour video game developer, I have found sticky bones to be incredibly inspiring for reference. I’ve become obsessed with posing him on different metal surfaces. Around my office.
The quality is unmatched with infinite expression. I barely made it a day before ordering him a friend.

Just got it and assembled it a few days later. Really like the magnetic aspect of it! It would be perfect for stop motion/claymation if you could cover it in oven bake clay and cook it. But you can't have everything. Either way it is cool and really functional !

I was a little skeptical that Sticky Bones was "the best action figure", until my son opened it up as a birthday present, and we assembled it (which was fun). I can confidently say it is the best! Realistic positions, easily mobile, stays where you want it to... We were laughing every time we bumped it, because literally every position it's in looks realistic! "
Martin R.
It’s was great, it was great it feels sometimes like parts are loose but that seems to be because how pose-able the figure is ! It’s pretty great

Thanks for the prompt delivery, all the way to Melb Aus! Love my lil sticky dude!

I bought one of these for drawing pose reference and it has been a significant help. It is remarkably flexible and expressive and the slightly exaggerated proportions give it a lot of character and use for any art style. The magnets are quite powerful so it stands solidly, even on its hands without tipping over. I can also stick it to my fridge!
Most of the joints strike a good balance between being easy enough to pose while also staying firmly in place. The feet are probably the most difficult to adjust—and especially to assemble—but may loosen up with use. The arms and hands are prone to pop off when contorted into a more difficult position, so I prefer to remove and pose them first before re-attaching. The head however is noticeably loose and can be more easily knocked around with some force, but still seems to hold well enough as long as you don't bump your desk/table.
The fly-rig is also a great addition for mid-air poses, albeit somewhat stiff to manipulate. It may be easier to pose the character first and then position the rig to connect. Regardless, I would consider the bundles including these the must-have versions over just the character(s) alone.
All-in-all, this is a very well-made mannequin with a wide range of expression and applications. Most buyers seem to enjoy using them for stop-motion animation (which is very cool to watch) but their potential for character drawing reference—especially compared to more traditional art mannequins—is criminally underrated. You're going to be getting a lot of value out of these guys for whatever you choose to do.
