AHI Query

[palitoy]

So, I got a Phantom head from the very generous Laurie recently and my plan was to make an AHI Phantom of the Opera. Seeing as they used Aurora sculpts and colour schemes, I'm wondering how it should be painted.

Should I go gory green?



or a purply like the Lincoln Phantom?

I'd like to see the green...how 'bout some glow-in-the-dark on there as well?

I actually do have Glow in the Dark paint but I'm trying to make it exactly like AHI did it, I think bright green with greay hair may rule out.

[HardyGirl]

Yeah, I like the green better as well.

[Mego Milk]

I kinda like the light purple.

aw yeah creepy.

[megocrazy]

bright green with gray hair

Yep, that's my choice

[REMOVED]

green like bile, i think

[dr_cyclops]

Is it a two piece model head, or a casting from?
Do you plan to make this one of a tribute series?
I get the feeling you want to approach this as a "what the AHI Monsters could/should have looked like."
As a purist, I would go with an almost black and white look.
For color, I would choose green to be the color for Frankie, I would be more tempted to use red/purple for the Phantom.

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I'd have to go for green too.

[dr_cyclops]

I am thinking more like a ghoslty pale, almost pastel blue.

Oh yeah, I can totally see that! Very toy like.
IMO just about anything is better than that lime green on the box art. That's too close to the Creature.

[Meule]

I'd go with green as well

Hmmmm....

I did one in a pale skin tone. Purple makes it look like his tie is too tight.

The Creature and Mummy Were blasted with yellow to simulate the glow box artwork.
Maybe a pale yellowish- green?

Oh I never thought about that, really good point.

The theory works until you come to Dracula, they colored the figure like Bamas original artwork. Dracula was side lit with a strong red light, so AHI made the Dracula figure a bizare blood red color.
