I've been toying around with the idea of making some new custom AJs...toying around...get it?!....
Sorry...anyway, my kids and I have been conducting a forensic examination of my modest collection of 4 used Ebay AJs and realized the heads must have been hand painted. They're all a little different. The lips are definitely all painted differently. Usually, all the hair behind AJ's ear isn't even fully painted...
We're speculating that some poor group of little ladies in Hong Kong must have sat in a sweatshop all day tediously hand-painting AJ's eyes, hair, etc.
Does this constitute a Mego Fact????
So, if I were to round up some really cheap distressed AJ heads on ebay, I could conceivably hand-paint, touch-up, repaint, etc. and they could be pretty close to looking 1972 new, right? One could even change hair color, huh?? Nobody seems to do a lot of custom AJs but I'm considering it. Thanks for any info!
