CINESPARK Professional NOT-Ready-Made 27CM 1:8 Proportional Adult Man Armature DIY Stainless Steel Studio Animation Armature for Stop Motion Character Puppet

The kit comes with enough spare parts that it’s easy to spice up the design. I was able to add extra spine joints to my two puppets and still had enough left over from both kits to make a little stabilization rig. There are enough pieces that I was able to make one pullet shorter than the other too, which was cool.The only problem is that the holes for the brass arm tubes were two low on one puppet, so the arm wouldn’t attach properly. I enjoy the process of modifying it though. I just hope I don’t break it. There is no spare (there are spares for pretty much everything else).Definitely lay out your puppet before you start really building stuff. There are instructions, but if you plan on modifying the puppet at all, you need to be sure you have everything. They have lots of tips in their Amazon description to help you make it work so you don’t end up destroying your puppet to adjust the armature. I tried soldering some of the joints together (instead of using glue) with moderate success, but I don’t really recommend it, since the steel and brass heat at different rates. I’m going to finish up using glue.I contacted them with a shipping question and they got right back to me. Ships from Dubai, so it may take a bit if you live in the US. I appreciated that.I expect I will buy from them again soon.Edit with suggested modifications. Again, I suggest buying two kits at once so you have more parts to customize. I bought some other screws for certain joints that I wanted to really tighten (like the feet). The ones that come with the kit are a bit soft and strip the allen key pretty easily if you crank them too hard. The screws I bought only cost a few cents. I also bought more metal tubing so I can mold multiple hands at once and switch them out right away when they break (we all know the wire in the hands won’t last long).
