Exactly what I've been looking for
Absolutely incredible! This is exactly what I've been looking for for years, and I love it so much that I've named it Oscar.

A9 Rig will help you get there
I want to Thank A9 for the awesome Ranger I received last week! I got back to my Art about 12-13 months ago after many years thinking I could never Draw good enough! Well I will say I have truly worked harder than ever this past year. From starting back going to a 3-day Private Workshop with a Prominent Classical Figurative Painter and Draftsman, to traveling to Paris, Rome, and Florence to see Classical Renaissance Masterpieces! The A9 Rig is a Great Piece to add to your Training! If there are no live models available this piece helps you see in 3
, allows you to “figure out” proper placement by direct observation. BUT it is not a savior, it will not make you put in the immensely hard work of becoming a Master Draftsman! YOU have to get up every day and put in the Time and Effort and truly take art into your Blood! This A9 Rig will help you get there if you use it properly!

Just the best
The products and services this group offers are unmatched. I wish I had found them prior to ordering my first set of armatures. Just the best and I will repeat with them! Full marks.

Regularly returning customer
I have bought three different pieces and many accessories as well as made use of my 12 month warranty and even able to upgrade for a discount (or free) for upgraded parts. Every time I have contacted for assistance, to offer suggestions, or simply anything I've been responded to promptly. Sometimes it feels like Paul (the creator of the Armature line) made tutorials just because I asked enough. I am very grateful for the beautiful product they create that helps creatives all over. They are attentive to detail and continuously work to make their products even better. I am happy to be a regularly returning customer and 11/10 would recommend time and time again.

Awesome tool!
Simply awesome tool! I cannot begin to say how effective this thing is in making anything artistic with the human figure.

Really good artist figure
A9 is my go-to rig for art modeling/posing. I actually own two now, and the quality and customer service is great as well - figs hold up to regular constant posing and use. As much as I love the brown one I have I wanted a white, so very happy to get that in finally! Good 3D printing with injection moulding pieces. Thing I like best? The pose HOLDS. If the joints loosen, a little bit of dried crazy glue fixes the problem as a coating, too.

Brilliantly Designed Armature for Illustrators and Animators
I am thrilled with this amazing armature! Looking forward to buying more from this company.I have been following the development of the A9 Ranger for years and know this armature is the absolute best out there. I have marveled at the range of motion and limitless poses since receiving my shipment and look forward to purchasing the teenager and younger versions for use in children's illustration. Thank you Digital Double for creating the single most important "art supply" for illustrators and animators everywhere.

Hands down the best artist maniquin I have ever owned
This is hands down the best artist maniquin I have ever owned. It's extremely well made and is able to move into more natural poses than anything else I've ever found. The A9 customer service is equally amazing and they will answer any question you have and are super helpful

These armatures are amazing
These armatures are amazing I already own 2 riders , a ranger , and a quadroped!! The craftsmanship is top notch !! One person makes all of these armatures with a 3d printer and put together by hand !! If you're an artist and struggling with the anatomy and posing in your drawings, these will definitely help you !!
If you're an artist these are a must to own one !!

I love him
The most flexible, realistic drawing model on the market. I've been staring longingly at these figures for a very long time and I'm so happy to have one finally.

Ready to go
The armature was ready to go straight out of the box.The magnets are surprisingly strong, enabling lots of fun positions only yoga experts or comic book characters can accomplish. I plan to stand the armature on the piano holding friendly reminders for my music students. Fun and very useful!

Very happy
The item arrived when expected, very happy with my purchase.

This doll is so cute! And perfect as a base for for small stop motion animation characters! |

The little dude was mostly pre built so he was easy to put together. The limbs seem sturdy enough to make highly expressive poses. But his tiny fingers are the only thing that worries me. |

Interesting stylization in some of the extremities, but effective proportionally. The head is very well done. Worth the few weeks wait time on production backlog. |
