It lacks a few important movements in the legs and knees that it should have to have to give you realistic and dynamic looking poses, but other than that its a good, solid manakin. For what it cost, its worth it. But if you are more interested in getting a very functionable manakin over saving money, this one isn't for you.

The size is good and the arm poses are pretty good but the legs seem limited in flexebility.

Well this thing, along with its female counterpart, isn't as useful as it's made out to be. The two different mannequins, while being touted as being for different genders, really aren't different all that much. For the price they're asking they are better than nothing, assuming one cannot afford better. But these things are about as "flexible" as C3PO or any other protocol droid for that matter. And it doesn't help that they're both stuck to stands with metal poles stuck up their butts either. Good for standing poses only, and that's about it. If you're already a college student like me, you might just be better off taking a figure drawing class.

I have one of these fellows setting amongst my paintbrushes & he just makes me smile! Here's a family for 10.00... get your smile on & go draw!

My son wanted this Manniqin for his drawings. He likes to create Robotic creatures similar to the Lego Bioncles. This figure helps with possible movements made by them.
