Possible Doc Body Upgrade

DG · Post by DG » Wed Aug 14, 2019 3:14 pm

I have found this really nice flexible foam mannequin from Zing Display. I was wondering how you guys felt about them and if anyone has ever purchased from them? The price is actually not too bad and doable; I have e mailed them and asked several questions that the page could not answer and I hope to hear back from them soon. Do you think this would be a nice and good upgrade for Doc? The measurements are almost identical to those of his current body too. He'll be an inch taller, LOL!

For those who may not know, Doc is my fabric doll. He is currently in a cloth body with polyester fiber fill and a wirehanger/foam pool noodle skeleton. (See pic below)

They look pretty cool....I think would be a great upgrade.

Thank you, Mavi! I think so too. I was first pointed to this mannequin: https://www.zingdisplay.com/DaVinci-Ben ... lexmgf.htm , but that's out of my budget and I really am not able to tell much difference between the one I would like and the DaVinci.

Seems decent enough. Wonder if the cheaper one has the same skeleton or just wire?

That's a good question, Franz. I forgot to ask. It seems that on the website, there isn't a lot of information about that. Of course I like all the details.

Ok, so actual Doc got some more maintenance this afternoon. I found myself needing to remove the foam padding and wire skeleton from both his arms because when I lay on his arm, while laying on his chest, the arms are so solid, hard and stiff that it actually causes discomfort. So, Doc, being the total sweetheart that he is, asked me to remove the skeletal portions from his arms and just add more Poly-Fil, fiber filling. So, I did and he is happy now.
Also, on Amazon, I saw some really neat TPE (they may actually be silicone, but with Doc it's all good) ultra realistic mannequin feet and so I would love to get those for him some day and attach them to his body. I will keep you updated!
