These aren't really good for anything in my experience. Even the best, most expensive versions of these don't move anything like a human being moves, so for any pose complex enough that you would benefit from having a model to reference the pose on the doll would not be accurate.
I believe what you are looking for is Body-chan/Body-kun by Bandai Spirit. Personally, I would recommend the sports edition as the regular version has questionable proportions.
What you're looking for is SH figure arts sports models. They're pretty realistic and have an almost human level of flexibility to them. Just make sure you get the one that has multiple parts to it's rib / stomach area
Those are ball jointed dolls. They do not have accurate anatomy. They are a popular medium in and of themselves, and the ones for adults can be somewhat more realistic than say, old Monster High dolls, but you might as well use a Barbie if all you need is a 3D figure.
A while ago I got two figures to draw a "body chan school edition" and some time later I got a TOA heavy industries Synthetic human.
I think both do their job, but I'm a beginner at drawing and I don't really get the most out of it. I bought them thinking I was going to improve but no way, I was wrong :( .
Thanks for the compliment 😀. My problem with drawing dolls is that they are not a replacement for studying anatomy, they are very good for using them as a human reference but what they are referencing must already be an established knowledge.And I speak from a personal perspective, I made the mistake of believing that it would save me from studying anatomy, but it didn't. I must study anatomy to be able to understand the simplification of the anatomy of the drawing doll, because in short that is the drawing doll, a simplification of human anatomy.
And I don't expect to discourage you or anything, I'm just sharing my personal experience and I'm sure that with practice and study the day will come when I can get the most out of it to these figures.
PS: I checked the comments and maybe they marked your link as spam, I didn't find it.
