    AHI monsters customs

    It all started with Frankenstein: CTVT's flesh body, flesh monster hands, and boots. Original AHI head, shirt and pants. EMCE brown jacket from build your own zombie set.

    Next came Mummy: CTVT's white body, glow monster hands and white bodysuit. Original AHI head. White strips sewn to bodysuit. At this time I switch out the brown jacket on Frank with a CTVT repro with sleeves removed.

    Just add Wolfman: CTVT's flesh body, flesh wolfman hands and brown suit. Packing twine belt. Original AHI head. Frank's jacket now has a snap to close it.

      These came out sweet, I love what you did with sewing strips on the Mummy outfit, my favorite of the three,
      Frankie looks good with the snap close front.

          Thank you! I worked the hardest on the Mummy outfit. I really wanted an outfit that had the original concept in a way that it would stay. In the end, it was way too much work to be mass produced.
          While CTVT bodies of Frank and Wolfie are restrung, strangely Mummy's body is an original CTVT bands attachment. The body didn't have enough problems to warrent a restringing.
          I too like the snap option on Frankie's jacket.
          Best part is, how well they can do an 'Aurora pose'.

                    Hoping to find the perfect light brown/tan fur to complete Wolfman. I want to rag out his jacket sleeves, pant cuffs and add fur to the forearms, calves and chest (sewn into the suit.).
                    Original AHI Frank pants are too low in the crotch. Considering replacement (suggestions?).

                          This project has been a labor of love for me. I now have my core four. Dracula: original AHI head and pants. CTVTs flesh body with flesh monster hands, black king cape, black socks, white dress shirt and bow-tie. Original Mego Penguin jacket and Wizard shoes.

                            Drac came out great, all you have to do now is pick up some ahi style pink cards or boxes like I did,
                            trust me you'll love how these figures will look inside once you do.

                              I was looking at the 4 figure clamshell offered by CTVT.
