Well I just put my costume on my mannequin just to check it out to see what else needs weathered, and so far it looks fantastic in person. When I look at it I cannot believe I created this monster. I bulked it up some in the shoulders and biceps area, but it is a little unproportional for now because this costume was not made for the mannequin, and the mannequin is about 6' 4" I am about 5' 11" in shoes, and the mannequin is very skinny. But later on I will be putting a muscle suit on it possibly for a more proportioned look, but the clothes are slightly smaller/shorter the more bulk you add, because like I said it was made for me.But as is, still looks unbelievable in person, and very spooky in the dark corner I have it in. After I am done touching it up for my costume I will take it down and put it back up again with better proportions. But even with the bulk added now the life-sized looks HUGE in person. About 6'4" and 230-250 lbs or so would be about right. Will post more pics later without mask and Vengeance on. Still need to add some paints, cuts on sleeves to see through, some blood, and we'll see what else. So far it is great, even with some of the shirt out of place a little due to size limitations. Also the mannequin's arms are pretty close to its body, so bulking up the biceps makes them look kinda bent inward in the pics straight on. However without the bulk the arms look more normal, and this is not noticeable from the side views. The forearms latex are made to fit, so can't add bulk to them.<img src=\"http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7734/oct04336eu2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/7610/oct04338gy1.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img361.imageshack.us/img361/6758/oct04343bw2.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/7877/oct04345ru8.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/9400/oct04346tm6.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" /><img src=\"http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/7421/oct04347wv8.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

I may have to add some straps of shirt to connect the top and bottom of the arm rips, as they tend to sag down on me and sometimes shows the sleeve connection. But should be no big deal. It is absolutely amazing even as is, in person. It is like my lifelong dream come true of having Jason himself in my house lol. Will put up part 6 next, then part 8, followed by Myers perhaps. I hope I can sleep tonight, I am still not used to life-sized figures in my house, especially this scary. It is very freaky in the morning hours when I get up and forget I have it.I would like to cut the hands off for added mobility in the wrist to prevent cracking, and hopefully the gloves cover that well, but would sacrifice looks. I may have to get another pair and make more for display uncut.

No, that is what I said about the mannequin arms, they are not flexible outward. But this is not noticeable as much in low lighting and from side views. Someday I might get a mannequin that can adjust to the side if there is any. But like I also said the extra "bulk" is what makes it look like that because the original forearms are made to match the smaller muscles, and I can' make the latex gloves bigger obviously. You can't see the arm bends as much without all the bulk, but it is skinnier then. The display view it about 3/4, which is perfect.You are pretty limited adjusting a fiberglass mannequin, which is why I bought the one with the best pose possible. I had my old displays on this as well, and the Freddy. Check out the difference being Freddy is skinnier, which means you can't see the arms are inward as much. But like I said, this is primary a costume that will be coming down anyway, I just use it to make my costumes and see them after Halloween. Nothing permanent, although I would make one if I had the extra room. Also the tight latex gloves cause more contrast to the bulk. Without the bulk and tight fitting gloves, you can't see the curve at all. But this pose works, espcially for a dead at the bottom of the lake look, which I did in the past.<img src=\"http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/750/aug06290vw9.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Same Mannequin, no bulk and a sleeve.
