Show and Tell: ArtBones Articulated Action Figures
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 лип 2019
- Before heading to Comic-Con, we check out the highly-articulated posable figures from ArtBones and talk about the different kinds of articulation we look for in collectible figures. We're impressed by the dexterity of the ArtBones figures, which are 3D-printed and made to order by artists in Brooklyn.
Check out the ArtBones line of figures here: www.artbones.nyc/

Thanks for watching! - Наука та технологія
It goes without saying, but BANDAI's Perfect Grade and Real Grade action model kits have phenomenal amounts of articulation, down to individual fingers.
Yes, I still have to buy my first perfect grade, but I have many master grades and all the other grades as well. I really hope to get a perfect grade soon.
If you're into complex poses the GM sniper II mg is solid
These are up there with the revoltech,real nice for poses.
yerp
@@pillowmaster420 can you recommend a figure that has great anatomy and pose ability.
without much accessories or costume to get in the way
i am an artist and need it for reference
SH bodykun and sigma archetype are a dissapointment
please help
If you're someone who takes photos of figures or has great experience with action figure lines, then you will probably already know that there are a number of different poseable figure lines (notably from Japan) which are better articulated, less expensive, and are made from plastic that won't disintegrate with handling like these printed resin figures will.
Examples of some?
@@irsistic0438 Figma, TOA Heavy Industries, Body-Kun
Price aside, I think these are great figures and good job to the 2 guys doing it!
For me the best I've seen so far is from Revoltech. Check out the Assemble Borg line in particular. I have one of those and i can say it's the most articulate and one of my personal favorite in my collection.
An artist that works at a company I used to temp at was impressed with the level of articulation of some of my Gungam models. According to her the artist models that she had seen so far had less range if motion that mine and they cost more to. Shoot, a lot of the newer Gundam models will use double hinge joints for the knees and elbows, but I think new model has most of them beat on the abbs and shoulders. Also, this one shows muscle flow which is important for applying deformations.
even older master grades have the double elbows and legs. The part that has been innovated the most is the waist articulation and ab crunch.
$120 for just one figurine that is just plain? No thanks
I know, they're mighty expensive for what they are!
the price is prob because the are in new york, insane taxes on all manufacturing.
@@nickademuss42 Of course, Big Government makes everything pricier!
yeah, i was all in until i went to the site. yikes. that's too much.
PrimyFritzellz its all in house, from renders to assembly. Two dudes with 3d printers.
These are super expensive compared to the body-kun pose figures...
I have one of those. honestly a pretty comparable figure to these. although it does have a pretty anime centric design.
Which are super expensive compared to MoDi-Bot pose figures
They're even expensive compared to the Bandai artist's body model kit.
@@ChozoSR388 yeah but you have to realize this is 2 dudes doing all of this
@@UnvarnishedTarnished Huh. My comment was the one that seemed most threatening in the thread?
Really glad you shared this. Always had in interest in custom figures
I am making an action figure and this video will help me in making articulations.
Thanks Norm for keeping the action figure community cutting edge.
This is a big thing and I hope it goes from success to success. At the very least, the Art world of figure drawing, through stop-frame and o to the full customised sci-fi/fantasy realm of figures. All awesome. Hope they go on from strength to strength - without someone buying them up and restricting it in any way :)
Excellent work.
My daughter uses similar figures to these to set up poses for her illustrations. They help her visualise what she is going to draw/paint. I bought them for her a few years back.
Is there a way I can buy just the joints ? Or does anyone know where I can buy small joints like that? I do custom builds and joints similar to these would be amazing!
This channel is the best...toy love! I’m going to check artbones riiiight now
Very articulate figure! I've always loved the Marvel Legends and WWE Elite figures' articulation. Looking into making some custom figures at some point, and trying to decide whether it'd be better to purchase existing figures or try to 3D print my own.
Are they also for anatomy reference but on a small scale?
The megami device line has single jointed elbows that go to 140 degrees bend creating something that is more natural than two 90 degree bends while only taking away 40 degrees of articulation. The model kits otherwise have double jointed legs and good flow to aticulation rather than focusing on adding as many joints as possible
Is there any way of ordering one size-wise 2.5 inch figures
What an intersesting review
One cool feature to add.. The stand could be green or blue to 'disappear' in photo montage...
Are they going to be building licensed product like the old GI Joe? Or other articulation figures of characters?
That rubber O ring is a super idea and should make each joint have just the right amount of friction. As most collectors of figs know, joints can become very loose over time and with alot of use.
These would be cool models for drawing action poses
What are your thoughts on Sticky Bones? (It's a poseable 8" artist mannequin / stop motion armature).
I love it but I remember having an action figure that has articulation on the fingers. They should implement that as well. Big Win.
They might pricy, but they do have good articulation, and the one with exposed muscles is very well detailed.
Looked at these for an Art reference possibility, because I’m good at transferring things I’m actually seeing into art but not good at drawing from memory. I need a reference and these would be a great reference for drawing human figures, something I greatly struggle with.
Feel free to comment any additional options you guys may have found, I’m open to suggestions as well as options.
Figma, Bandai and others have similar figures that are much less expensive and are made from plastic rather than resin.
I freaking love it
1:18th scale. Tomy Takara Microforce from 2003-2006. These little guys had more articulation than most figures today in larger scales. The main issue with these was the material was pretty cheap but had a great deal of articulation with great range of motion. Hasbro took over the license but haven't dud anything with it.
can you recommend a figure that has great anatomy and pose ability.

SH bodykun and sigma archetype are a dissapointment

I'm sorry, but $120 for a basic figure is a rip-off. Bandai, Max Factory Figma, 1000toys, etc... make the same for way less.
comparing a million dollar company over 2 dudes in an apartment isnt right. but still 120 is outrages
Even at that price their margins are probably still low. Its funny how people are always like ""BUY 'MERICA!!""! But when push comes to shove, like here, everyone is whining about the price, want it cheaper? The manufacturing needs to be moved to be moved abroad.
Where to buy?
I forgot to say it but Happy Birthday to Adam Savage!
Still waiting for a figure of that size to have individual pose able hands and fingers.!
Are this for a sale????
I use resin 3d printers for action figure related stuff daily, and have been a figure customizer for almost 2 decades, so I'd like to chime in that $120 for this thing is reasonable considering what goes into making it.
•Each figure is printed, assembled, and painted on demand. If you've ever used a resin printer you know what a PITA that is, cleaning up the support scars, sanding to get tolerances right, etc., and doing that for every tiny piece.
•There's added complexity because they're using o-rings to prevent the resin from rubbing against itself at the joints, this prevents the resin from destroying itself via friction.
I can appreciate what goes into making it, but yes, I understand how people may not think it's worth $120. After all, it performs a little better than other modern articulated action figures, but for 6 times the price.
Are they going to make drawing models for drawing?
"with all these joints combined, i am captain flexible"
I want one of this figures
Some of my own o-rings are starting to wear out. Really buggers up articulation.
How much for the figure?
My god its superb i wanted get all
For my project
I want this for 3d modeling
I wish I knew where Norm got his sweater from?
Seen figure and immediately went to site, seen price and immediately came back to vid. Tbleague and dam toys are releasing better looking 1/12 bodies for way less, dam toys figure is $22 and tbleague has a seamless version meaning no visible joints for $45.
Pretty much. I'm a miniaturist from 1:6 to 1:12, and the price is kind of disappointing. I certainly wasn't expecting over $100.
GIJOE Had that covered they are the best..
How does it compare to 1000Toys Synthetic Human?
That would be a good apple to apple comparison.
Usually, articulation points get complicated once the character designs come into play.
As a blank figure, its a free canvas but looking at your video, it looks AMAZING!!!
Search youtube for D_Amazing 's video on these figs. I'm 99% certain he compares 'em with the synthetic human figures.
These figs would make great stop-motion fighting scenes hahaha
can you make a tour of your room
Nice
1000toys is my go to for articulation
Where can I get these
Do I have to buy them
You should do a toy photography tutorial for newbies.
Toys are to nice to play with.
i can't wait for a Spiderman ArtBones figure!
reminds me of the movie i, robot!
I would love to see a comparison review with ZIPGUY.
Norm is the best
How much are the guys in this video
120$? Oh yeah they are in New York, insane high taxes, so one would be 45$ if it were, say made in Kentucky, and 3.99 if made in China.
😂
omg so nice !! make one with batman or spider man that would be awesome keep up the good work
I want a 7 inch one
These are cool, but I can't justify $120 for a figure
Alan Glasgow just hope for bigger manufacturers getting onboard and starts making on greater scale
Especially a 6 inch one.
@@TheBunnyOfDeathProductions That's cool, but any go getter could find a cheap 3D printer and tool one themselves. $120 for a 6 inch figure is ridiculous considering some Marvel Legends are on sale for $10-15 and a few of the Spiderman figures have ridiculous amounts and range of articulation.
I guess economy of scale is to blame for the high price... Like already pointed out there are much better alternatives for quarter of the price even. Figma Next for example.
i want a silver surfer one
It looks amazing but it’s so damn expensive
hello friend how are you, teach me how to model action figures in 3D please
I want one. Send it off to me immediatley.
stop motion artists use them a lot
Fuck, the toy story movie based on this figures must be really scary.
Notification squad!
I have a fully articulating fox football robot figure.
Synthetic Human, archetype next he and she, body kun and body chan both regular and designer series, 1/6th scale figure by Side Show, all of these are cheaper and less rare than this. Which is sad really. I would like to get those if they weren't asking for so much for so little.
HOW ???
It couldnt even tippy toe.
So its a loud toy how can i play at night without being heard???
Just checked and the bodies are all OOS
They're very pricey for what they are, but cool though!
$120!!!!!!!!
I think I'm gonna stick to my old stuff
buy two mafex that are already overpriced but the articulatiosn are even better proportions not but at that price you can buy a custom head
These really don't look like they're worth the cash, not to mention if/when they get licenses, the price will sky-rocket.
Mafex... Figma ...sh figurarts and revoltech are leading Brand’s of articulated figures .and yes...all from japan
Revoltech is my personal favorite when it comes to highly articulated figures.
Same here bro...deadpool was awesome
Exactly. This isn't new. I'm surprised at how blown away he is at these.
@@pedrochevez2090 It depends on which Revoltech figure you have though. The Amazing Yamaguchi figures for example are great, but for the most part, aren't meant for vanilla poses. They were made for action.
What a coincidence im making myself a balljointed doll
If only the price would fit the size of these, too bad..
i went to their website, and they are out of stock.... boooohoooo
so sad, they look so good
*ARTICULATED FINGERS.*
That's nice if you are doing stop motion videos I gues. It is cool. But still He-man and GI Joe were more than enough in my opinion. But this are great..
Am I the only one who thinks the figurine in the thumbnail looks like a character from the Gargoyles cartoon?
but elbows don't work that way
Bom dia
Top de mais
CraftMAn and Adam Savage.
Great Combo.
So much enthusiasm and creativity.
Check him out and tell Savage, too.
ua-cam.com/video/0KbAFY5_WrY/v-deo.html
Besties for sure,
he did one on joint articulation also
ua-cam.com/video/GeRjZuusSDI/v-deo.html
Check out stuff from 1000toys; their TOA Heavy Industries Synthetic Human has a similar joint structure and absolutely superb proportions while still being crazy articulated. They're expensive, but they're really impressive in hand. www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?Company=700
It's out of left field, but the Pacific Rim Uprising action figures from the Bandai Spirits line (not to be confused with the Diamond Select Toys figures) are surprisingly good. They have some really interesting engineering in the hips that I've never come across before. I'd recommend Gipsy Avenger, Obsidian Fury, or Saber Athena. The less humanoid designs have features that get in the way of the articulation unfortunately.
They're hard to come by outside of the aftermarket currently (hoping there's a new production batch in the coming months), but Toy Notch x Toy Forge's pair of Astrobots might be of interest because of it's design, and it's background--small-time designer 3D printed their figure in small production batches, and a manufacturer thought it was awesome and brought them in to help produce the figure. These bots are a masterclass in odd proportions with crazy good articulation. Like I said, they're hard to come by, but at the very least check out a review for them: ua-cam.com/video/gc8ZTXQTpBA/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/aVTZN6g_Aww/v-deo.html
And another obscure producer, Armature Nine and their A9 Rig system of armature figures; similar situation as ArtBones. Small producer manufacturing their own mostly 3D printed parts, bit by bit investing in the production of steel injection molds. Their line runs both 1:12 and 1:6 scale, and has libraries of optional parts, so that you could opt to parts out a figure from the ground up. Along with sets to make quadrupeds, avians, and fantasy figures. They can work as art models, or as the skeletons for claymation stop-motion figures. armaturenine.com/
Ooga booga
Well I really just buying the figures from the zip guy and just printed my self for $10 dollars
Body kun looks better and apparently cheaper too.
How to buy it?
120 though :(
that is the price of a figure being made in america. Its funny how everyone is a patriot shouting "BUY 'MERICAN!!!" until they have to shell out for it.
@@atomixfang I am no patriot, i am a Englander :) . But, i guess it will come down in price, ,maybe.
AWESOME!!! But, is out of stock.
Congrats! Great project.
PS: Sorry by my wrong english.
I hope this brand will release female figure with epic articulation and many accessories
Try 1000toys
exposed muscle, so reminds me of Hellraiser film
