Checkout the detailing for the sternomastoid muscles. Holy shit that's pretty good. And the clavicles! I'm not gonna mess that up again in my drarings.

Seriously though...I've seen dolls like that. I've seen grown women carry them around in public. Hella creepy.

Joking. Although these particular dolls being labeled "bishounen" which is japanese...makes it a little bit weirder. Guess that's the "custom" part.

Made my day.
+1 for Flip

P.S. How does one stumble across these? And why isn't the tramp-stamp moar prominent?

"Bishounen" that was used to create this doll:

Just carrying them around in public is nothing. The ball-joint doll fandom has creepier things, Naomi and Grimm for starters.

**HunterKiller_** · May 18th, 2008, 06:05 AM

My eyesssssss!!! It burns!

**pencilkiller** · May 18th, 2008, 06:07 AM

Actually those normal ball joint doll is okey....but this creepy thing...

DO NOT WANT

**Dave Kendall** · May 18th, 2008, 11:42 AM

That's pretty horrible. Cold shiver time. I don't think it's very accurate either.

If you want a great, anatomy model. Go here. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

Oh great! Now I'm going to have to clean out my temporary internet files!

**Nibras** · May 18th, 2008, 01:33 PM

wow scaryy and crappy and weird.....

**mazouko** · May 18th, 2008, 02:38 PM

What about these from DickBlick for a poseable model?

Aww, mazouko! I had enough vague ideas about the serious WEIRD of that fandom...I did not need to see & read dolly porno! x_x Stupid ED and their amusing articles.

EDIT: The Art Buck models aren't really that well proportioned either. Definately not a sub for the real thing.

Wow. That looks beautiful. New shipping date is in August, maybe I'll get one.

**Maxine Schacker** · May 18th, 2008, 06:52 PM

The clavicles are actually "s" shaped and are not on one plane- if you draw them as if they go straight across, the figure loses movement and flow and starts to look rigid and dead. We have the model you like, Midgard, and it is good. However, I feel it lacks the elegance of the older models.

The Dickblick manikins are meant to be used for posing purposes, similar to the wooden manikins. The model in Rusty Baby's post is for anatomical reference only, since it is not poseable.

**dose** · May 19th, 2008, 07:28 PM

Creepy. Interesting as works in and of themselves, but I'd rather draw from a well-sculpted $10-$15 action figure with good articulation

**VulgarDragon** · May 19th, 2008, 11:58 PM

Poser anyone?

A bit odd that they decided to change that then. It's great that you have one of those at Max the Mutt, I can't even fathom my old art schools having these kind of props.

What's interesting to me was the mention of magnetic removable parts, but as it turns out it's not nearly as elaborate as I hoped it would be. Only the arms and the genetalia are removable, which doesn't sound as useful compared to, let's say, being able to temporarily remove the lower abdomen and gluteus maximus to look at how the hipbone is constructed and how it 'sits' in the body.

**Magami** · May 20th, 2008, 04:27 PM

I dunno, I kinda like the one in the boxers.
But the nudie is creepy and reeks of Micheal Jackson fare. These are probabaly used more as a fetish item as opposed to a good anatomical source, or at least should be imho. However, if the protruding clavicle and neck muscles helped you out with your own drawing process, more power to you. =3
