Where to find broken mannequins?

[rideit]

Unusual request.
And it's not for disturbing porn.
Basically, looking for broken, outdated, unusable or just plain cheap torso mannequins for nude forms for sculpture.
New or eBay, they are ridiculously expensive!

Anyone know of a stash between Syracuse and Jackson, via Cleveland?
Online source?

Yeah, I know, GEAR SWAP, JONG

There's companies that specialize in "store fixture and display moving", if anybody has access to a bunch of broken shit from stores it's probably them. Here's one: http://www.avatar-moving.com/store-fixture-mover.asp

Make sure you countersink the mouth hole when you drill it out.

I prefer acid drenched splinters, myself.

An inert ordinance freak I know down by Milwaukee came up with about a dozen mannquins last fall - all were in really good shape before they got destroyed. I know damn well he can probably come up with a bunch more. I'll let you know.

Inert ordinance...arrows?

Hey - that's what he calls it. Are you looking specifically for torsos? Like no arms, no legs - just torso and head? Would full mannequins with the arms and legs sawed off work?

Hey, just go down to the hipster district, try to buzz in to a few flats and bring a few cases of tall boy PBRs to trade... I'm sure they have a few in their flats to spare... they over decorated with that and the ironic hat on the mannequins head.

Just torso, just the arm and leg stumps, butt, and boobs, thank you very much!
Ideally with the suggestion of motion.
Wow, that sounds....creepy

PM MD9. I have a feeling he or his brother know where to get them, or have a warehouse packed with them.

Cleveland? Ariel Castro might have one lying around.

Ariel Castro kept creepy mannequin, would drive around with doll in car

The sadistic Cleveland dungeon master drove around with a female mannequin with a wig.

Ariel Castro also scared his wife with the doll – startling her so she fell down and hit her head.

“The mannequin was something he kept in his house or the garage or the car and he would move it around,” said his late wife’s sister, Elida Caraballo.

“It was the top half, it wasn't on a stand. It was a dark brown mannequin with beady eyes and sandy hair.”

Castro once scared Figueroa with the dummy by jumping out at her as she carried groceries home. She fell and hit her head, relatives said.

Her husband Frank Caraballo told the Daily Mail that he used to drive around with the mannequin.

“I remember he used to drive it around on the street. He would drive around and put it next to him just to get attention. I remember thinking, ‘Man that Ariel, what is wrong with him?’”

“I'm sure they will find it in that house,” he said. “He would never get rid of it.”

Castro’s nephew said the former school bus driver even threatened him with it.

“He would say, ‘Act up again, you’ll be in that back room with the mannequin,’” he told the Associated Press.

^^^wow.


Ordinance couldn't have been that inert if it destroyed the mannequins.
