Did you ever consider making your own mannequins? The History Museum in Buffalo, NY does that and they look very good

Subject: Museum-Quality Mannequin Suggestions
Good morning, all,
I am wondering if anyone can provide me with some recommendations as to museum-quality mannequins. Our programming necessitates that we purchase one now for an exhibit being installed at the end of April. Specifically, we have WWI uniforms that we need to display during our upcoming Dakota Conference on the Great War and the Northern Plains. That's our current need, but we want to purchase a mannequin that can be used repeatedly and in various contexts
So here are the specs we're looking for:
- Male (we have a few female forms already available)
- Abstract
- Removable head
- Neutral color, preferably black (as it will be used at times for Native American textiles)
- Fits in a 6'3" case
Any suggestions are welcome. I've been searching on-line with varying levels of success. Thank you!
