Appearing like a mannequin.
Usually used to refer to the way people look in photographs. when a photo is suddenly taken, the subject may appear to be frozen mid-action and look like they are trying to hail a bus or have their arms at a rather unnatural angle.
Hence they become dummylistic.
Even more so if their face looks like a startled rabbit.

My mother looked extremely dummylistic in her wedding photograph (fact).
