Stop-Motion Armatures

Here is a list of sites that provide armature kits for use in stop-motion animation.

Skeletoon - Ball joint. A French company. I am currently seriously considering buying one of their kits.

Model Armatures - Ball Joint. The joints on these armatures seem a little too chunky for what I would want. They do offer strong magnates for sale as well though.

Arma Benders - Ball Joint. They seem decent enough but expensive considering they don't have hands.

Animation Supplies - Ball Joint. I was originally considering these armatures but the price was putting me off despite how brilliant they appear. I know these things don't come cheap. Now I may use this site to buy puppet hands and some rigging for the skeletoon armature.

STOP-MO-TEC - Aluminium Wire. May be more useful for supporting characters who do not take up much screen time.

Animation Toolkit - Aluminium Wire. Another consideration for supporting characters.
