I was disassembling an Ali figure for a custom, and I discovered that the entire figure has been painted a darker brown. It was originally a caramel color, perhaps the same as Tootie?

I'm calling an Austin Hough - this thread is useless without pictures! I know you never post pics of your customs, but this is like parts man. I'll post it for you if it helps. I bought a bazillion of those Ali figures on clearance for customs, and I didn't think any were painted. I'm afraid to look now.Comment

Ok, Emce just for you I will ask my better half to take pix and I will mail them to you. (All I have is my old crappy phone, I couldn't take decent pix even if I knew what I was doing.)
The whole figure is sprayed a matte milk chocolate brown and underneath it's shiny caramel vinyl. It's a Twix Ali.
EDIT: The head is a darker brown, but has a dusting of the brown paint on it. Overspray? I wonder if the head was molded in a darker brown and then the factory realized the body color didn't match and was corrected with a paint job? The paint seems durable.Last edited by PNGwynne; Oct 2, '19, 8:54 PM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

I made a OMBC figure out of one of the Ali's, as well as disassembled one of the bodies to add Trek legs. I'm sure mine weren't painted. An interesting variant here; wonder how many were made like this?Comment
