Mannequin Mall features a wide selection of display mannequins for retailers, photographers, and seamstresses alike. Most of these models are posed in a fixed position. Some retailers and photographers have a need for models that can strike various poses. For those professionals, we offer our flexible and posable mannequins. If you need to change up the positioning of your display model to create various different display scenes, consider our selection of movable mannequins. As with all of our models, our flexible and posable mannequins come in a great variety. Male and female, of different shapes, colors, and sizes, they cover the whole spectrum.
Our posable models tend to be made of fiberglass or plastic. Depending on the mannequin, different body parts can be moved due to the bendable joints. A simple version might only allow for mobility at the shoulders and thighs. Other variations enable you to move even elbows, knees, and necks. This ability to move body parts at the joints lets you place your mannequin into many different poses. One day you might dress it in running shoes, athletic shorts, and an exercise top and bend its body into a running position. For another display, you may opt to move your model into a casual stance with both feet on the floor and hands at the hips. There are many options with posable mannequins, yet they have their restrictions. It would be difficult to bend them into intricate positions.
The second type is the flexible mannequin. Made out of dense foam covered in high quality cloth, this model can be bent countless ways. You could bend it at the waist and place it in a sitting position. Yoga poses are definitely best left to the flexible models. Their bodies are extremely flexible, yet built to last. They are even utilized as crash test dummies by automobile testers.
If your display needs call for mannequins with intricate poses or you need a model that can change up its position whenever necessary, then consider our assortment of high quality flexible and posable mannequins.
