About A9RIG

Well hello stranger! Welcome to my shop. That's me up there ☝ name is Paul.
And I launched Armature Nine (or A9RIG) in 2012. To this day my son and I continue to design, manufacture and assembled the pieces in our home in Washington State using a combination of injection molding and 3D printing. Everything is done responsibly and without Al. The only thing I used Al for was to help solve some coding for armaturelab.com, a platform I've been working on for several years already.
When the project first started, figures were sold as inexpensive armatures intended for sculptors to easily sculpt over top of. Over time the figures evolved and have become some of the world's most advanced artist manikins and remain to this day the only manikin capable of achieving every pose humanly possible.
This was me in 2013 fulfilling an epic order that came through my second crowdfunding campaign.
