Great For Stormtrooper Armor
The Stormtrooper on the right is using this mannequin. Boba Fett on the left is using a different $250 plastic mannequin.I'm very impressed with this mannequin for Stormtrooper armor. It also looks more natural in pose than my Boba Fett mannequin.I don't trust the hands to hold a blaster on the TK Products mannequin even with the wiring in the fingers. This product is compatible with RS Propmasters Stormtrooper armor.I was worried the bar wouldn't let me close the torso of the armor. Luckily, the mannequin is so skinny it closes fairly easily even with the bar underneath the armor.There is a lot of thigh gap between the thigh armor and the mannequin though since its proportions are a little odd compared to my body. The mannequin has very skinny thighs and I have very big thighs. However, I think this is a great solution and from the front looks amazing!The bar in the back doesn't let me close the butt plate to the crotch plate underneath with the elastic and button snap I have there, however, it's not important for the overall look of the mannequin.TLDR: This is a fantastic mannequin for Stormtrooper armor!

Best thing I can say is that I'm buying another one!
Way better than the all-plastic mannequin I also purchased through Amazon. I really liked that the legs are already molded into the torso. With this product, I didn't have to glue the legs, arms, and head onto the body to ensure it all stayed together. After putting a pirate-theme costume on it, the final product is solid and looks like it is an actual person rather than a mannequin. We'll let the trick-or-treaters this Halloween decide for themselves! (EDIT) Halloween 2016 has come and gone. I made two pirates using this mannequin. There were also commercially-made pirate characters within the large display, as well. The two made with this product were voted the best-looking characters. Understanding how easy it is to create characters with this mannequin, I opted to build some new aliens using this product. When it comes down to it, if you can dress yourself, you can dress these things as well. The two new aliens are nearly 7' tall (I tweaked the height by manipulating the boot placement). I added the pic with the third alien as a size reference. He is but 4' tall. Maybe a bit pricey when you add in shipping costs, but whatever you create will last indefinitely with prudent care and display. I don't use the included stand because it is kind of a giveaway. Thin steel posts anchored in the ground keeps them vertical without telling the world its just a 'dummy'.

Pleased with this purchase
Pleased with this purchase. Wanted a suit form close to my dimensions for costuming that could double as a costume display, and this definitely delivers. It's a tad taller than advertised; I measure mine at 74" tall which is pushing it considering I stand 67" tall. But it's a trade off I was willing to work around since my chest/waist/hip ratios are hard to find in more common suit forms. The material seems nice out of the box, and allows for pinning. Joints are easy to manipulate, considering you don't push them past their limits. Took me a total of 30 minutes from taking it out of the box to having it fully dressed as shown in my customer photos. The stand is adequate to keep the mannequin standing, but the whole unit can still be easily knocked over if bumped accidentally. Overall, it meets my needs and I consider it a good buy.

Great for Theater Companies and Costume Designers!
We donated this to one of our favorite Theater Companies. This was their review and they asked me to post it.We have found many uses for the foam dress form / mannequin we’re using at Chautauqua Playhouse. The chief attributes are the light weight and flexibility of the body. It combines the elements of a dress form with a body dummy, but is much more flexible. We have found that we can add to the form by pinning additional foam or material to the various body parts to better fit the actor’s body. Once the basic fitting for the costume is done, additional adjustments can be done without keeping the actors. Because of the flexibility it’s easy to dress. The ability to move the arms and legs into various dramatic positions is very helpful for our purposes. Gloves and shoes really help bring the foam “character” to life. Because it is so light weight we can also take the dummy off the stand and hang it. We are currently using it for costume display in the lobby. As we open new shows, the costume with an added mask and a wig or hat, helps capture the period and mood of that particular play. We’re very happy with this new member of the “cast”.SALINA DIANECostume designerChautauqua Playhouse

Perfect DISPLAY mannequin
It’s very petite and the foam structure is green for certain clothing that don’t go well on retail mannequins or dress forms. I work with samba,belly dance outfits so many pieces can’t lay on plastic mannequins for display without some sort of adhesive so the foam base is perfect and yes it’s possible just a little hard to do but honestly it’s a great cheap alternative to Royal form, though remember this isn’t meant for making patterns.

Not for use with armor.
This is a fantastic mannequin for cloths. This is not a good mannequin to display authentic medieval armor. The arms fall off to easy with minimal weight. The base is not heavy or large enough. The waist is almost none existent which makes hanging items to include armored pants impossible. The single largest short falls is the very light weight aluminum bar that attaches the mannequin to the stand. The mechanisium used to adjust the height is not strong enough and fails under weight All of these things I have figured out how to deal with except the head. Once I put the helm on the entire piece leans back the head actually bends backward.
