dickblick.com (http://www.dickblick.com/categories/anatomicalmodels/) has a good selection and decent prices.

The Blick Hardwood Manikin (http://www.dickblick.com/zz216/01/) is pretty much what you're showing in the picture.

dickblick.com has pretty much everything you could need, but just in case, I've also seen them at Michael's arts & crafts. I don't know which is cheaper or anything, but that's another option.

I bought one and it wasn't cheap, yet, I should have gone higher up in quality. The one I bought was so damn limited I could hardly put it in a sitting position.

I solved the problem two ways;
1. I took my dremel tool and carved out around the joints to give it more flexability.
2. I made my own using a wire frame and covered it with clay. It isn't pretty but I can pose it in every position known to mankind. Porn stars would be jealous!

The second options works best! Don't waste your money on wood. Buy some wire and clay.:D

Yeah, two big peices of advice are:

Don't go cheap.
Don't get the ones that look like the one in that photo. (despite how famous and corner-stoney that model is)

Damn... I was too late, another one blew his money and bought the wooden curse.

The ones that look like that one in the picture all suck. If you don't go cheap on one like that, then you are being ripped off. Ever since I got mine I've been looking for a new one that's actually, good. (I was even going to get one of those bad-ass super poseable, super-expensive giant spiderman action figures, but they are too hard to find) I'll be sure to keep that handy link in my back pocket for when I get some money to spend on such a thing (or when I figure out which one I want/need most).
