costume display stands, aka: mannequins
« on: March 11, 2015, 10:07:33 PM »
Target(tm) is closing down its operations in CAnada. 
this means liquidating everything, in all of their 133 stores, including displays and fixtures.

I went to my local Target outlet and bought some of their mannequins: Thing#1 and Thing#2.
(aka: "Manny the Mannequin", and his good friend "Mannequin Skywalker").

-- costumes and lightsabers were NOT INCLUDED --

:P

Nice! I've been heading there weekly to snag deals... Too bad people are over obsessed with Walmart here... I'd take targets quality over walmarts any day!

thanks everyone,  for the positive feedback :)

I made the costumes myself.  (the soft parts anyways)

- Manny is sporting the latest fashion from the "Obi-Wan Kenobi" label -- boots are modified funtasma; belt is from Claudio (aka custom props).

-  the other one is wearing authentic leather parts from Museum Replicas (belt boots etc)

-  food capsules for both are from Civilized Galactic Gear

-  Yoda is simply confused.  he thinks he's from Krypton. :P
