I.S. Mannequin Ideas / Voting Closed

petedav was kind enough to show me to a collection of Infinite Stratos CGs, with the heroines in a variety of outfits.  

As a set, the heroines of Infinite Stratos are quite suitable for mannequinization.  They have nice figures, it's tasteful, they enjoy many attractive outfits as characters in a fan service driven series, and harem protagonist Ichika would be too dense to notice even if they were on display in a shop window right in front of him.

While I am very busy at the moment, my schedule should get freer at the end of the month, and I may make more manips on and off before then for relaxation.

So what I'm interested to know is: which girls, and in which outfits are you most interested in seeing as window dummies? I'll of course do ones that interest me, but you can think of this as a collective request - I'll make a point of doing whichever ones get the most votes.  For your convenience, I've numbered them (#1-#40) so that you can refer to them in comments below.

Feel free to vote for one or several, though to keep things reasonable, let's say no more than ten votes per person.
In the meantime, enjoy!


Houki

#1 - 9 votes (1st Place Tie)



This is a nice pose, perfect for showing off both Houki's curvy figure and the swimsuit she'll be modeling in a window.



And here's Houki's mannequin (expressionless verson).



Smiling version.



#2


#3 - 3 votes 





Two different casual outfits with the same pose, which seems it could work well for a mannequin.  In the first case, an ankle rod would do, while a butt rod could work with either.

#4 - 1 vote





Houki with a handbag as her accessory.  Her skirt may be blowing a bit, but that could always be attributed to a fan.  Probably on a butt rod.




Cecilia


#5 - 4 votes


Cecilia in a bikini is a natural choice for a mannequin.




Cecilia's mannequin



#6 - 1 vote



Cecila in a dress…certainly one to put in a bridal / prom shop.  This is an example of a mannequin I would prefer to make out of a dark plastic, to contrast the paleness of the dress.  The rod would be under the dress.

#7  - 3 votes




A nice pose for a mannequin.

#8 - 2 vote



Varying up Cecilia's wardrobe with some pink.

#9



Long skirts are natural for Cecilia.



Lingyin

#10


Lingyin demonstrates the sheer versatility a single mannequin can have with a good pose… winter, swimsuit, casual, and Chinese dress.


#11 - 6 votes - 3rd Place Tie






Lingyin's mannequin


#12 - 1 vote


#13 - 6 votes - 3rd Place Tie



Charlotte

You may recall that Charlotte's previously been mannequinized in this pose:

French Mannequin in the Storeroom

What sort of outfits might she wear in it?

#14 - 1 vote


Cute.

#15 - 1 vote


#16 - 1 vote



#17 - 1 vote



In traditional costume (above).  Would have to be supported through the foot.



And for some different poses:


#18 - 2 votes



Nice enough, and the outfit matches her dominant I.S. color.

#19 - 2 votes



A more energetic pose, and the handbag is a nice touch.  Probably would be supported with an ankle rod.

#20 - 1 vote



Or with a dress.

#21 - 3 votes


I really like this pose.  She'd be on an ankle rod.

#22  - 2 votes


Another variant.

#23 - 9 votes - 1st Place Tie


And let's not forget Char in a bikini!



Charlotte's mannequin

Laura

#24 - 1 vote




I'm not such a fan of Laura, but this pose works.

#25


#26 - 3 votes


Obligatory bikini.



Laura's mannequin… with a nice smile.

Kanzashi

#27




Sans the headgear, a pretty nice winter display.

#28


With a beret.

#29



Cute pose with nice accessories.

#30 - 4 votes



A different sort of swimsuit.

#31 - 7 votes - 2nd Place


A standard bikini, but with a nice touch with a flower in the hair.



Kanzashi's mannequin



Tatenashi

The blue-haired tease also shows off the versatility of a pose.


#32



Casual.

#33




Dress with hat.

#34 - 2 votes



Suit over blouse and skirt.

#35 - 1 vote




Swimsuit / tank top.

#36 - 3 votes







This one was behind in votes, but as I said, I do certain ones that I liked anyways, so here's the mannequinized Tatenashi.  However, if this entry wins or gets into the runner-ups I'll do a longer story on how Tatenashi ended up like this / her time as a mannequin.

#37 - 1 vote




A different sort of pose and outfit for Tatenashi.

#38 - 4 votes



And of course, the bikinis.

#39 - 2 votes




While the other version of Tatenashi was favored by the voters, it wasn't one of the top three winners, and this one was just easier to do.



Another idea (#40):  - 2 votes

Instead of mannequins, the I.S. girls as chocolate bunny girls, in the same style as Kallen's recent Easter transformation.
