Early this year I got White Frost and now I got it a buddy! With the sale going on, I thought it would be a good time to grab another. It'll probably be fun to do some fighting poses with them. I think I said it in my first review, but I love the range of motion Stickybones have. Great for dynamic poses!
Shelby T.
It will make a great Christmas gift.

It has been a really convenient pose reference for when I am drawing and animating. While the torso bends excellently, the joints around the limbs are a little bit weak, though, and are prone to pop off if you contort them a certain way. While that doesn't bother me to the extreme, I do feel concerned with the fact that my order was missing a few finger pieces, and the remaining fingers are also very prone to being lost with how easily they pop off of the hand. Otherwise, I highly recommend this as an excellent reference for artists if the latter does not bother you too much! I would definitely order again, especially as a present for a fellow artist friend.

Very cool tool! Probably the most effective for the purposes of posing I've seen period.

This sticky bone has caused trouble since day 1 in this house, it has become a bit of a joker! But has brought laughter and joy not only to my son, whom has been inspired by these figure's but also the adults. On a serious note very good quality a little expensive but think more sticky bones will be ordered in the near future
Wendy B.
Amazing product, very satisfied :)
Haley
So much better than any previous models I've had. I've been recommending them to others on more than one occasion. The magnets and steady joints of the figures make all the difference. Especially useful as a pair.
Zachary W.
Will certainly help with drawing poses
Joey M.
Easy to assemble, and fun to pose! This is already helping my figure drawing
Tauri S.
Easy to put together (the video really helped), easy to move, great center of gravity, the magnet plate adds to what our Sticky Bones can do! Primarily being used to create illustrations for my girlfriend's fantasy book series

Delivered as promised

Well, i havent run into any issues yet, but it is everything i imagined it would be. I have just one request, that the magnets for what is supposed to be his toes be strengthened so he can lean far forward while standing on one foot's toes. Is it incredibly niche? Yes. But hey, youre the one wasting your time on an internet review. Overall, 9.9 out of ten, would reccommend.
paul m.
Present for my son, bigger and better than expected, excellent quality and amazing quick delivery to Ireland. Love the personnel touch with the hand written note. Definitely recommend. Thanks again Paul
Angel R.
The figure and posenado were ordered concurrently; however, the latter has not yet been released. Despite this, the figure exceeded expectations. Although larger than other figures in my collection, it is still a valuable addition.
Carter G.
I just got my stickybones figure after it originally got lost in shipping! They were happy to help get it back to me fast. I’ve loved messing around with posing it and taking photos! It’s a quality figure.
Beth M.
My son is 13 , on the autism spectrum and loves Stickybones!!!!
Josh C.
My 9yr old son wanted one since he seen them on YouTube. He has been no stop playing with it and making stop motion videos since it came in. Call fixed my shipping address issue quickly and was shipped super fast. Will definitely be coming back again! Thanks alot!
Luke P.
I Absolutely adore this guy. I named him Philip! He’s sturdy, fun, useful and incredibly well made. This is top-tier quality and thank you to everyone for making this order so exciting and personalized! ❤️
Linda D.
It went together beautifully. It just kind of ended up in this pose( I did tweak his hands). I love this thing!
Gabriel H.
I purchased this for my classroom. the students love it. The application for animation is great. The quality is excellent as well! totally worth the price.
JoeVanni R.
This is so awesome! If you need something to create your own reference for drawing or stop motion this is for the artist!
MARK G.
Only had a couple of days working with Stickybones, absolutely love it . Wish I had him years ago. He is so expressive and im sure it will make a massive improvement to my figure illustrations.
Thanks for developing such an amazing product for all the artists out there .
All the best
Mark
Shelley H.
I bought this item for my 13 year old son and he loves it! So many option with the magnetic hands and feet. Also the fact that the fingers move independently, was a big deal for him. He has so much fun make videos. Great product!
Leo S F.
This is the hardest review I've ever had to do, because this product is simply incredible, from its assembly, which is very easy, to creating poses. This was everything I needed to start making my stopmotion animations. The only problem is that its price is not very affordable for everyone, and it is even more inaccessible because it has to be shipped to Europe, the shipping cost is a bad factor. But the product is of extreme quality, highly recommended.
Spencer T.
This thing is awesome! It's everything I've ever wanted from an art mannequin. My girlfriend bought a second one after using mine so we can get multi-person poses
Steve B.
I like it. I now see I need some more accessories to get better use out of it but for pose-ability it's fantastic. I like the flexibility of the figure.
I got the Solar Flare color because it's closer to skin tone... sortof...... now, if the Super Geniuses at Sticky Bones could make a figure that's a medium grey...... that would be nice. Or a head with a face on it?
It seemed the joints are very robust. I was worried I would push too hard to snap in pieces but, no, they all went in.... eventually with no breaks.
Sonam C.
Few pose i tried after assembling. Worth it
Ollie .
Amazing bright colours. Definitely has crash test dummy vibes, lol. My first two stickybones are the plain black + plain white ones. Initially I didn't like the idea of the bicolor stickybones as I thought the colours would be distracting and make the figure look too much like a robot / mech character and not a person.
HOWEVER, I actually realised that for practice animation, the different colour in the joints is incredibly helpful to keep track of the motion / perspective. In Dragonframe sometimes it can be super difficult to see which joint has moved or whether shoulders have rotated, rolled forward etc. But with bicolor joints, it's much easier to follow and track this more precisely.
So as a practice animation puppet, for technical animations that can be analysed + deconstructed afterwards, I would recommend Bicolor flare strongly. The contrast of the yellow/black looks great on camera and stands out nicely against white backgrounds.
I still prefer the plain ones for sketching as it helps see the way that the light casts on the model. I think Stickybones is missing a trick slightly for a single color neutral tone figure (maybe gray, blue or tan) that emphasises the shadows for drawing.
Andrew H.
Good figures, its been fun posing them and making references.
Tina T.
My nephew has been wanting one for a while so I got him one for his birthday. He absolutely loves it. He has made little videos with it and has been playing with it non stop.
Claire
I'm really impressed with this thing! I've wanted a better artist's model for YEARS and was so thrilled when Stickybones went on sale recently. The joints are tough, the magnets are strong, and assembly was easy (especially if you played with Bionicles as a kid :) ).
I'm interested in getting another one for combat poses! It would be really cool if a shorter or taller variation was available to model variation in body size with interacting figures.
Dick O.
Really love the figure! Ive been looking for something like this for a long time. The articulation is top notch and the magnetic feet and hands are an amazing feature. Glad to see you guys making such a great quality product and as an artist thank you!
Christopher W.
I love it! I am experimenting with stop motion photography and this posable figure is perfect and fun to work with. I will soon be ordering another. I just wish you made animals also
Dariusz W.
Incredibly articulated, keeps poses incredibly well and also super expressive! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a high quality pose figure or stop motion tool! Thank you to the people at Sticky Bones :-)
Teagon B.
Good job keep it up
Tara C.
He’s fabulous, but the fingers are a bit delicate, so I’ve ordered extras.
Zach S.
Arrived on time, very high quality figure. Holds poses well and has been durable so far and very helpful with drawing projects. The metal plate stand scratched up my desk a bit though.
Davin H.
I Bought The Blizzard One But It Only Gave me This One. The Yellow One. Besides That, I Loved It! The Magnets We're Very Strong And Reliable! It Was Super Easy To Animate With! The Joints Are Very Sturdy.
Robert B.
This is my third purchase. I love these guys. I am not an animator, nor an artist. But I admire the detail and quality of this product. I just pose them and put them around my house. Guests love them and think they are quite unique.
fernando C.
Fast delivery! And the figure is amazing. When you have It in your hands you realize the quality of the material and everything, I love It!
Thank you Lauren for your help whit the order You are very nice!
Justin R.
Shipped on time, no issues.
My son’s review: “ Great pose-ability, smaller ball and socket joints can easily become disconnected though. Large magnetic feet make figure very stable. Feels like a quality item - good fit and finish. Would purchase again. It would be great if you could possibly make some different sized figures.
Ronald M.
I love it ! I think i will get one more!
Christopher D.
Fast delivery! Had it in 5 days! I didn't care for the length of the shoulder connection from the chest to the upper arm. I think it's a little too long. The fingers/knuckles are small, but they give you a few extra! The fit was excellent. In my pics, it sits on a 1/8 Venom GPV1 RC bike.
Highly recommended.
Giovanni G.
it is the second one I get and I love the yellow-black pattern
Bud H.
It is going to help me get my new artwork done. Might possibly use it to show off my dice.
tim h.
This guy is helping loads with me getting better at stop motion and figure drawing. Highly recommended!
Gabriel L.
I love this figure it helps me draw and it’s like a mannequin for some fashion design I have in mind thank you sticky bones
Munir S.
Thank you so much all worked so well
Trey M.
I'll never have to worry about pose references again. After going through the hassle of finding a reference for an obscure pose online that was just right, I wanted a better way, one where I wouldn't need to be my own model. Stickybones' flexibility fixes this issue. Thanks stickybones!
Emily G.
My 9yo son earned the money through a garage sale to buy this figue. He couldn’t be happier. The figure is very well made and magnets are crazy strong. He’s taken it out of the house and every time, people ask about it. My middle daughter is an artist and wants to buy one for drawing. I highly recommend Sticky Bones!
Michael P.
I've only had the figure for a day now but I can already tell it is going to help me so much with my art. I am a sculptor and sometimes figuring out poses or looking up reference photos can be tedious. With this I can pose a figure exactly the way I picture it in my head. I can sketch out a concept drawing and (a big thing for me since I work in 3d) I can view the pose from all angles! This is going to be a game changer!
Villis O.
Love it! So funny and easy to pose! But the finger joints are pretty loose, still very worth it!<3
Anthony F.
Quality posable figure and much easier to achieve poses previously not possible with wooden figures. Figure assembly can be intimidating and would have hoped for a more evenly paced assembly video with more closeups, the ankles and thumbs are areas needing greater focus.
Once assembled its up to user to get the correct positioning thru self education. The figure has great capability and its really up to your imagination.
Only other suggestions would be to have the finger joints also be two-tone colors tomhelp with visualization and also to have a figure with a full hand.
As for price vs. value the value is there for the serious artist.
Anette T.
Really nice. Very easy to build.
Inese S.
Best animation puppet
Edward C.
Well articulated and constructed.
Paul L.
Looking forward to finally animating with a Stickybones Figure :))
Edward
Excellent figure model
Sherman
Great for character concepts with drawing out a design.
Grant K.
Joints feel great, and the figure itself can support itself pretty easily on it's hands or on it's feet thanks to the magnets and the base! Very good figure for pose references, study, and animation!
M. L.
My grandson bought it himself and is completely happy with it.
alvin
Gave as a gift to my granddaughter. She loves it.
Louis L.
I want to thank Stickybones for producing such
A beautiful product. I loved their attention to detail on everything from the packaging (with the label positioned perfectly aligned) to the beautiful packaging of the box and all the parts and instructions. I was even impressed with the enclosed receipt that was perfectly folded had a personalized handwritten thank you on it with my name. Like I said, everything was perfectly executed. And the figure itself is absolutely beautiful with all the precision parts nicely fabricated. Your brand is simply AWESOME!
Francisco Javier G.

I am very happy with my Solar Flare Stickybones!
I had been searching for a poseable figure to use as a drawing reference, and Stickybones has gone above and beyond my expectations.
To begin, I feel like I can safely say there is no other articulated figure on the market quite like Stickybones. This figure offers a high range of realistic, expressive motion, is easy to handle, and has firm joints that allow it to hold any variety of interesting, dynamic poses. The magnetized hands and feet (in addition to allowing it to perform various poses) are great for making the figure hold magnetized props.
The figure also has a good weight to it, and the material feels solid and durable. Just from holding it, you can tell that the figure is absolutely worth the money with how high quality it is.
While I cannot personally speak for the other colour options, I love the Solar Flare colour – especially for drawing purposes. The yellow is light enough that it is easy to tell where shadows fall on the figure, but dark enough that you can also see where the highlights are. Beyond that, it's a very vibrant and fun colour that is just incredibly pleasing to look at!
In addition to the quality of the figure itself, I was very impressed by the customer service of the Stickybones team. When I contacted them via email with a question about my order they were very friendly and quick to respond.
All in all, this was a phenomenal purchase and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid, poseable figure!
Amanda M.
Very fun to pose! Love the colors!
However! Feet joints were extremely difficult to put together, but eventually got it together using a tool.
Claes F.
Just got it but I can easily see the potential with this figure. It is a little too stiff so far in some joints so I have to brake these in. But what a figure it is !!!!
JEFF L.
These are my first figures of this kind, and I bought two because I wanted to create grappling / mma positions. It can do striking poses fully, and I was able to create any striking pose I wanted in full detail. I wasn't able to get all the grappling poses I wanted to full detail (humans have soft parts that aren't easily recreated by hard figures), but I was able to get quite far with the poses I tried. I'm impressed by what I was able to achieve with these figures.
The figures make it easy to apply my imagination / creativity when I think of a scene or pose. I can see how they'd be useful for practicing figure drawing.
I appreciate the engineering that went into achieving different levels of stiffness in different joints, the strength of the magnets to hold poses yet don't get sucked into each other too easily, and the pose-ability of the fingers that is huge for expression.
Maybe most importantly, I found they're a joy to pose, with their simplicity, range of motion, and potential for expression. I've had a lot of fun creating different poses / scenes, far outside what I originally bought them for!
Tony C.
The StickyBones animation figure is the best I have ever encountered. There are so many poses and movement stances and coupled with the magnets and stands you can accomplish a great deal.
Holly B.
I love the sticky bones figures dark frost and solar flare. They are so cool and look best when on the stands. I would like to have some magnetic accessories such as hats or things to hold in their hands to spice it up. Thank you StickyBones! Great product!
Carol L.
My grandson loved it. That's the only thing he asked for. Bigger than I thought. A little high priced or I would have bought more than one.
Bonnie H.
This was a gift for my grandson and he loves it. Has had so much fun posing with it and it’s very useful for his drawing.
Deana L.
It was amazing. I'm learning to make my stop motion videos with it but not to be mean its a lot of money but im fine with it I love it and thank you for this amazing masterpiece
Steven K.
The high vis and high contrast of this manikin allows an easy read of the form and flow of the figure. I would recommend a pair of manikins and flying arms tovallow for a near infinitexseries of poses.
Oliver M.
Love it!!! Game changer for drawing reference, I wish I knew about it sooner!!!
Tania S.
Excelent!!! Super fast delivery! Very thankful
shane b.
My son absolutely loves these, hasn’t put them down since getting them
Katherine F.
It’s become very useful for animations or needing reference for specific poses! This was money well spent
Michael
Great quality and lots of fun to use.
Shawn M.
Bought as a gift, exactly what he was looking for. Couldn’t be happier, great quality and fast shipping.
Joshua M.
was very helpful, got it just for a desk buddy. but the fingers keep falling off. so, if you buy one buy extra digits. but anyway it was a good product.
Steven Beltre G.
just amazing! this is the best product for animation and poses references for drawings, i will buy another one for the next year :D
Yvette
Literally one of the best things I’ve bought. I used to do live drawing in college and I missed having a model- so having this gives me a similiar experience while allowing me to explore more I love it ❤️ I bought one as a gift for my brother and I know he’ll love it for his art journey!
Blake L.
SolarFlare Stickybones?.... Oh you mean "Astro"?
Yeah - the dude's great!
Easy to work with, keeps his position.
He totally exceeds expectations.
He'll get a brother soon.
Walter H.
Great service and communication, early delivery, and excellent product. Now has pride of place on my drawing desk!
Mark P.
Stickybones looks like a robot to me, and I love robot action figures. This thing is incredibly poseable, more-so than any other figure I've seen. The joints are tight and hold poses well. The magnets are also really strong. The included metal plate works well for letting the figure hold dynamic poses. I also really like that the figure was sent in a small box. I don't see the point of bulky product packaging. As others have mentioned, the feet are really hard to put together. I ultimately used a heating pad to warm up the pieces and then added a drop of water to the toe joints so that I could put it together one joint at a time. I have problems with my muscles and joints though, so it was extra difficult for me. It took me over an hour to put Stickybones together. In the end though, it looks fantastic. It's such an expressive figure, but in my opinion the face needed more definition. So, I gave it some eyes and extended the goatee using small pieces of electrical tape. I also plan to paint the hands with some yellow accents so that their shape is more visible. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase so much that I'm tempted to get another one in the glacier blue, and that's a rare experience. I usually like my figures to be completely unique from each other. Stickybones is just really great. I also want to say thank you to Lauren, the co-owner of Stickybones. She helped me sort out an issue I had with a coupon code and was so helpful and understanding of my situation. I can really tell that they care about their customers.
Douglas A.
Great product! Love it!
Sabrina
Expensive but i enjoy using it. Although the fingers can break off pretty easily, thankfully you can just pop them back on.
Sage K.
I have been experimenting with art styles since I started using my figure and it's helping SO much!!! :)
Sage K.
My order initially went missing, however the team at Sticky Bones stayed in touch with me the whole time and were able to replace my order with no hassle!!! :)
Clay
Absolutely love this product, it's amazing for figuring out how to draw a pose or do forced perspective, the only thing I wish is that the company offer travel cases for the figuring but this is 100% a must-buy for any artist who struggles with posing
Griffin S.
This figure is AMAZING i love how the plastic feels smooth and I love the magnets. I animate on a metal table and I constantly bump into the figure when I’m animating which causes the figure to fall or loos their position, but not with stickybones the figure is tight enough to keep a pose but loose enough so it’s not like you’re fighting with the figure. I absolutely recommend this to anyone and the poses you can get with this guy are insane
Anais T.
This was a gift for my highly artistic brother - he is absolutely enthralled with the figurine. Super happy with the product!
David V.
What a fun, high quality product! I'm very pleased with it. I'm looking forward to learning how to pose them naturally. Thank you!!!
Daniel
Fantastic! All previous ball and socket figures I’ve previously owned have gotten loosened within a few months, this thing is still good as new! Even with my tendency to fiddle with it by taking it apart and putting it together in crazy ways, it’s still super sturdy! I think the reason for this is because the ball part of the ball and socket is coated in a more rubbery plastic, which increases friction, but decreases wear and tear!
