need help- display questions

[ave4uevoli]

Hey all.. I need some help. I have 2 spiderman suits, 1 adam west suit, and 1 89 batman suit.

They all need some sort of display option. The 89 batman suit I"m pretty sure I can take care of.

But how does one display a spandex suit?
Store bought mannequins are just too skinny and strangely shaped - the spandex suits show right through. Padding out the mannequins doesn't really work, believe me, I've tried.

Does anyone have a simple idea on how to display these suits? I don't need something that will be "lifesize" or "screen accurate"... even something hanging on a wall would be okay for me at this point.

Are there any racks that I can take a look at? any special off the wall coat hangers? 3/4 torsos? any ideas?

Oh and pictures are very welcome.. that makes things much easier for me to get ideas.

Thanks

What i would do if i were displaying spandex Is get a muscell suit from comic-costumes on ebay as seen here

and buy a manequin to put that over.

Hi Tom... how's R2? How about using duck tape and wrapping around the areas where you need to increase the muscle mass area.

There are tons of tutorials on the web for making a muscle suit yourself. I think even Indymogul did a video on making one. The one is ebay is REALLY overpriced and didn't really look that nice with the suits over it.

I have a simple solution to your problem: simply send the Adam West Batman to me, and you'll never have any trouble displaying it! :lol
