Tools: Robocar

Haven't have much time to update my blog lately. Having several projects at the same time is really eating up my time, even my sleeping hours have been reduced, not that I had much time to sleep before.


More cool toys! Check out these Toy Biz Marvel Legends action figures.
They seems to be taking a similar approach to the 18" Spider-Man 2 Figure, similiar type of joints. I couldn't find the size of these figures on the website. Although I prefer generic figures for references, but these are very beautifully sculpted. I wouldn't mind getting some of these guys.

The version in Preview and other news sites are a bit rushed. I reworked it a little bit to hopefully improved on it for the print.

The best alternative to the wooden manequin is of course the 18" Super Poseable Spider-man 2 action figure. Eventhough slightly exaggerated in anatomy, with 67 articulation points, it allows you to make just about any pose imaginable.
Since I work at both home and a studio, sometimes I even go to a local book stores or coffee shops to draw, carrying the huge and heavy Spider-man figure would be inconvenient and attracts unwanted attention. I found these Microman Material Force Series.


Here's a photo of the size comparison with my PITT pen and eraser. The female figure is roughly 3-3/4" and the male figures are slightly taller. With 30 points of articulation, they are as poseable as the Spider-man figure except the fingers, but the interchangeable hands are more than made up for lack of finger movements.Male figures comes with 6 set of different hands while female figures comes with 7. Female figures are usually sold with a set of 3 pack, small, medium and large breasts size.

Here's a photo of hands that came with the figures, and a view from their behind
Highly recommended if you are looking for good manequin.
