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! "

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

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.
