For their small size, they have great articulation and you can get a lot of nice poses out of them. They are pretty small to work from directly but great for setting up your pose, taking a photo of it, and then working from there. They both come with four sets of hands in different positions for eight total hands. It’s available as the male figure Body Kun featured above (5.9 inches tall) and the female figure Body Chan (5.3 inches tall). With these limiters, the dolls are constrained to a more normal range of motion allowing for more natural-looking poses.

On older model dolls, you could twist their arms and legs into all sorts of positions that are generally impossible for most people. This new edition also has added joint limiters which help to stop the limbs from moving past normal ranges of motion. It’s a huge improvement over older models or Body Kun. This new design includes references for where those lines should go as well as the full 3D figure to add on top of that base scaffold. Most artists are trained to draw figures by starting with a skeleton stick figure then blocking out the basic shapes of the body. It seems simple, but these wireframe lines are great guides to help artists map out the three dimensional shapes of the body and get proper proportions. Launched June 2021, Bandai and Tamashii Nation’s new Wireframe Body Kun Figure is the latest edition of this famous line of drawing models and has a truly innovative addition that will make a huge difference when drawing.
