Most of the good ones are expensive plastic garbage. So no I will never buy any of them (again).

Those are useless. You're better off buying a lifesize mannequin that they use in clothing stores and put clothing on them. That's more useful.

Have you considered buying a mirror?

Only good "figure" is a dildo you can suction to your desk for help with perspective and I'm not kidding
It's functional

Guess I'll be the first person to give real feedback here. Yea, they are quite helpful. I used the S.H Figuarts one for a long time. Very helpful and much faster for getting the idea of a pose out. Helps you to visualize something in your head or understand a perspective relatively quickly with much less effort than having to finagle with a 3D program (which is also useful).


However, if you are a noobie I will add a big asterisk to the recommendation here. Because they are hard plastic with joints, they do not move the same way a human does and so the joints especially can create some funky inconsistencies. It's important to not try to copy the model 1:1 because then you'll be copying the inaccuracies as well (more accurate if you get those silicon TB League/Phicen type figures). That is where using a 3d model is more useful, if you want/need to understand how muscles move/look when they bend to create a highly polished piece. Even people like Adi Granov and Paolo Rivera use those tbleague/phicen dolls because they mimic human flesh more realistically.

So long story short, yes definitely recommend, just be mindful that it has its limitations.
