Has anyone seen this type of mannequin?

Anyone own one?
Not cheap at $600.00

Not only is it posable foam w/a wire armeture, but the arms and legs will swivel. The problem w/ most flexible foam mannequins is they can't make sharp bends at the hips, knees, etc.

Thanks
I even posted on Ibellas review, LOL. She had no pics and maybe I didn't click the links?

Wish they made this MQ in the 5' range. By the time I add some heels, she'll be a 6' tall amazon.

The male MQ w/ base, boxed weight is 41 lbs.
No specs on the female. Wonder what she is w/ out box, packaging & base?

After reading through those reviews it appears that the material goes to shit pretty quickly with just a little use.
Doesn't sound like a very good investment to me being so pricey.

Also without knowing what's inside at the crotch area it may not be good for a vagina install.
Looks almost like the MSB design - my guess is that there's some kind of bolt or structure in there for attaching the legs.

Yeah, had to laugh when I saw her MS Barbie design.
Yes, Ibella tore the foam at the wrist area, but she was trying to bend the wrist sideways. She said up & down was no problem.

If I could score a used one for less than $400.00, I'd give her a try. I'd outfit her in a catsuit, boots and gloves so the foam texture or repairs would not be of a concern. Make a new silicone head and neck cover too.
