Mannequin Goodness

[Clutch]

Found out Dillard's was closing (thanks Tambo) and selling off all their fixtures, so I decided to check it out. This is what I found:

Coolness. Didn't see any full sized ones thanks to my friends who had been there the day before :lol but I had been meaning to get some half-size displays anyway.

They had a couple of good Vader-sized ones and a ton of regulars. Each somes with a wooden base and a metal rod, so you can adjust the height.

The smaller one was perfect for my SST Gear:

I'll have to figure out a way to attach a rod to the neck and maybe use some foam heads to hold the helmets.

Every May in Tampa Macy's has a store prop sale where they unload all their old junk from a bunch of stores. I've bought multiple mannequins, busts and torsos. Last time I bought a mannequin swinging a golf club for my Tusken Raider! $75-$100 for full size, male headed mannequins.

these were mostly $75 a peice or were there some cheaper?

Glad all my home boys could get the hook up. Beavis & Butt head beat you to the good stash Clutch, but you lucked out as well with the ones you got.

Mostly 75, but they would give you a discount if you asked. I got mine for 60 each. They have some nice display cases that I'd love to have, but I don't have the room for them.

Very nice indeed...the trooper stuff looks cool on that display.

Hey does anyone know where i can buy a mannequin with wooden poseable arms....that doesnt cost a fortune?

Thanks LDR. Onigiri, the collar came with the armor when I bought it from Reel Clothes.

Very nice find!

On those headless mannequins - I drilled out a hole at the top of the neck and stuck a PVC pipe down there with enough length exposed to build a foam/duct tape head over it. The head bends forward at an angle but I think it worked out perfect for my Fett armor.
