Now upgraded with CNC-machined joints.
A major evolution of our classic and most-loved armature kit, these CNC joints deliver increased strength, smoother movement, and long-lasting performance. They’re engineered for precision and braze/solder beautifully for makers who want to push their builds even further.

Designed for maximum versatility, the Anibild Creature Kit contains over 100 stainless-steel components, giving you endless possibilities for building characters, creatures, quadrupeds, dinosaurs, hybrids, and anything your imagination conjures. Whether you’re a model maker or animator, this kit gives you the professional foundation you need to develop fully realised puppets in clay, foam, silicone, or mixed media (materials not included).

Each joint is compact, powerful, and built for animation — perfect for both amateur and professional filmmakers. Integrated rigging points ensure full compatibility with the Anibild Rig System, supporting advanced lifts, jumps, and dynamic movement.

Essential Assembly Information

To build a functioning, durable armature, threadlock is mandatory.
You must use a strong threadlock adhesive (not included) to permanently secure:

• Balls onto bone bars

• Bone bars into joints

• Bone bars into T-bones

• Any M3 threaded connection intended as a fixed part of the skeleton

Without threadlock, the armature will come loose under load and will not perform as intended.

The kit includes an easy-to-follow assembly guide. Basic hand tools (not supplied) are required.

Please note that you will need Locite thread-lock glue to make a permanent fixing off balls to threaded rod (not included) available to purchase here.
