    Son of… Original Costume Colors?

    With the Son of Frankenstein here, many will be tweaking and wanting to make the figure more accurate.

    Any know if the original costume was saved, has come through auction, or is documented in a collection for reference?

    Of course the color clips are a great reference, but it would be cool to see photographs. Shirt is easy enough in brown although the collar looks black, and what about the pants and boots?

      I have the Sideshow version and there is color footage of Karloff in the costume. The fur vest is brown. The stuff underneath looks like something Ygor made for him, it is brown leather.

        This is what I am going to base my revamp off of.

          ^^ Yeah, of course, me too… I'm going with brown pants based on that and the SS 1/6th.

          I'm thinking the black collar is an undershirt, and the layering of clothing will give him some good extra bulk.

            great so the pants and shirt are down in brown. Well If I find some I will redo mine but since I post them in B/W it's not going to matter much.

              I Want to add a little height, too. I may use a GI Joe hip ball between the chest and waist, restrung. I have some olive material for the shirt and just put it over the current black one. Redoing the vest too.
