What is inside a Mannequin?
+17
Has anyone ever cut open a mannequin? I got this mannequin and the project I have in mind requires me to cut it open and use the inside for storage. But I have no idea what is inside them and if the surface inside is foam or hollow. Can anyone advise please?

They are hollow inside.
I agree...hollow. Interesting project....post when you are done;)
Usually nothing in them, it makes them easier to carry and dress.
Hello,
To find out for certain you could drill a hole in the foot or the Arm socket to see! Enjoy the journey...
Looks like they are hollow:
