Take a look at Pretty Boy Jr from Carrylite.

Its kind of a hybrid. Not 100% foldable, but not a hard body either. You can fold it in half and stuff in your vest though pretty easy.

Actually not a bad looking decoy for the price from the pictures...  But what were they thinking when they painted that head?  I do not like the color scheme at all...

 Oh yeah the head color is terrible. A 6 pack of beer and some cheap paint from the hobby store can fix that though......

Looks like the original artist had more than a 6-pack when he painted that thing....

By the time you pay for the paint and beer, plus the time, you are not saving that much money on this decoy though...  However, it is fun to paint and dress up these decoys to make them better.
