Heh. It really is a mannakin shop. Dont know why but in my head I thought, "it cant be a mannakin shop"... but there it is.

Are those prices reasonable? I've never been in the market for a mannakin before.

Brilliantly weird business venture btw. :)

"I've never been in the market for a mannakin before."

So you don't count those "Real(TM) Dolls" as mannequins?

I went into a shop the other day. They had a mannequin dressed as Father Christmas. I explained to him (the shop owner not the mannequin) what line of business I was in and he asked me for mannequin arms, as the FC only had scrunched up newspaper for arms. So I asked him - 'He's not very dangerous then?'

Fiver says that review by 'Paul Robinson' was actually by the Doc. Betcha.

Genius idea though - I love your product descriptions, esp. 'Dangerous Dave'. The pose in the shot is priceless.

I don't understand why you would hire a dummy for £40 a week is it not cheaper to buy one outright? I'm not trying to be rude here but some of them have seen better days.

@ Redmaiden - Not everyone wants to buy them because they are using them for one off events. They take up a lot of storage and they are not that cheap to buy. (You can pay upwards of £600 for a good one.) Some of them on the site are going to be restored, so yes, some have seen better days, but with clothes on you don't see if its damaged.

600! eeek! I didn't realise they cost so much!
I mean I know that one of Sul's with the specially positioned holes in was pricey...

Wow I didn't realise they cost so much!

Well Sul's mannequin has got that "real feel" skin technology incorporated and of course sucking mouth.
