Man-shaped dummy

[Spartacus Maximus]

Looking for suggestion of a brand/model for a man-shaped, free-standing striking dummy. Does anyone know of alternative models/designs similar to the BOB dummy made(sold?) by Century Martial Arts out of USA?

What do you think you'll use the bag for? 

My favorite bag ever is the Versys 3 - Versys VS.3 – Century Kickboxing - it's very hard to topple so you can really lay into it with striking techniques. The legs are useful for low kicking or working some entry techniques. But I was looking for a heavy bag that I didn't have to hang from the ceiling and this fit the bill (and more). It is very very pricey... but I was able to get one for 1/2 price on Black Friday a few years ago.

If you are looking for a more general freestanding bag, the Versys 1 is also good, imo- Versys VS.1 From Century Kicboxing – Century Kickboxing - didn't fall over easily, but could still be used for striking and even throws. Sometimes I would stand behind the bag to hold steady while my students hit it, basically like a kicking shield.

They do make a BOB/Versys hybrid... I think it depends on how important "arms" are for you on the dummy. If that's the goal you may have better luck with a muk jong or other wooden dummy.
