If you want a professional model - you should buy a body-chan figures for about £100. Knee, elbow and ankle joints are fixed; only the shoulder and wrist joints have rotational movement. I`ve been using a 16" manikin for drawing exercises and decided to get a few more so I can arrange them in groups for my own paintings and perhaps use them for a project with my students. Fantastic, feels sturdy and when moving the body parts, doesn't feel like it's going to break.

Good The first mannequin I ordered arrived with the broken leg. It’s good quality. A decent buy at the price and a helpful item to have in the studio.

I`m quite happy with the little guys; they are smoother and easier to move than their big brother and seem to be well-made – though I suspect they all come from the same big factory supplying a multitude of art material companies. BUT customer service was very helpful and very nice, they send me new perfect mannequin.

Exactly what I wanted to practice drawing figures. Full articulation isn`t possible; they are particularly lacking where the legs join the torso – there is very little lateral movement here which is the main drawback with all figures of this type; as with the 16" figure the torso, head and neck bend and swivel well enough and the limbs can be positioned for broadly acceptable results. It’s impossible for this kind of mannequin to move legs in different dirrections. I opted to buy 3 of these Crawford and Black 12"manikins from my local branch of The Works; they are generic, wooden figures, male-pattern with 29 parts internally strung together with wire and with joints, limbs and torso that bend, turn and swivel to varying degrees.
For those, who write about the not moving hips and etc- this is wooden model, you use it as a reference. They won`t take subtle or very dynamic poses, but otherwise they can be used for an acceptable range of positioning – at the price, they make useful subjects and props or can be used as lay-figures for imaginative figure compositions (which is why I have 3 of `em).
