Making my own AHI Frankenstein Replica

Regarding the original AHI head, copied from Aurora, yes. But does anyone know if the source head was from the original kit with the gravestone or the Frankensteins Fliver Car hot rod model kit? They appear to contain the same two pieces front and back for the head. Without both in hand I wonder if they are starting at the same size. I have a later monogram release of the original kit and the noggin is comically large for 8” bodies.Comment

Yeah hopefully someone releases a Strange head for order sometime, I might want to make a Mego Strangenstein in the future.Comment

Any update on this?
I am also trying to make a custom AHI Frank and I don't want the vintage body, clothes, etc and it seems a shame for me to buy a vintage one to destroy it to claim the head. Surely someone has cast this head before.Comment

They used the same head in both kits, if memory serves correct, they were also the same head in the illuminators kits that were made much later from the Aurora moulds, not sure who made them I think it was monagram or revell did them. You could try timeless-hobbies they attend have older kits in stock and not too expensiveCheck out my Electronic Mag here Psycho Styrene Modeling MagazineComment

Here's an ebay listing selling some leftover glow parts, it appears to be a recast of the Aurora head, so you could put it together, get some stuff from CTTV and you have yourself a Frankenstein'd Frankenstein.
There's also a listing here for an AHI head ontop a Mego body, but who knows how high the price will get when the auction ends
