posable

Can be repositioned

Posable describes something that can be arranged or positioned in different ways and will hold that position.

The term applies most often to dolls, action figures, and artist's mannequins with jointed limbs that can be bent and adjusted: The posable figurine came with interchangeable hands and accessories.

Posable may also describe any flexible material or object that maintains its shape after being manipulated.
