Thread: Lifesize dummy

Tweet

Has any body purchase 1 of these dummies yet? I saw it on walmarts site and was wondering if it was worth the money.

I don't think I'd pay $35 for anything I could make by stuffing old clothes with rags, or newspapers, or straw etc. But then again, I'm really cheap

I've been thinking about buying one myself. It would be easy to just make one but i like the idea of being able to store it away and not have to redo it every year. I'm just wondering if its weatherproof? For 35 I'd hope so.

i would just save your money and sew two sheets togther then stuff it.

I have seen inflateable dummies(not the sex dolls lol) for sale really cheap but i cant remember which halloween site i saw them on :/

Why can't we get life size AND life like dummies? I get tired of the same old stuffed clothes and flannel shirt victims that I see in every haunt.

Same here.

And they do make life sized & lifelike dummies, they're called REEALLLY EXPENSIVE PROPS I can't afford!

The only thing I have been able to find have been mannequins, and they are too hard to pose unless I want to do some fiberglass work.

if you do buy it i would spray it w/ gortex fabric spray to keep it from getting soaked.

I like chicken wire bodies. Cheap, about $2.50 for a full body, don't have to worry about rain, easy to fix if they get a little mashed during storage and not hard to make and you can fit them to what ever size you need.

While I don't have a total body solution for you yet, soon I will be able to help you out in the posable pvc armature department.

Stay tuned !!!!
