    AHI Frankenstein - need some detailed wardrobe info/help

    Heya, Gang - I picked up a nice AHI Frankenstein (thanks Jason), but he's got no clothes! I thought what I saw on-line showed clothing based on Mego's outfit, so I threw a CTVT Frankie outfit on him, but it doesn't look all that close. Brian says the outfits are actually very different.

    So, and anyone offer me some detailed input (or even pictures) about AHI Frankenstin's outfit from their own experience? The original AHI duds seem pretty shoddy, so I was thinking I could cobble together some Mego or repro clothes to dress up his neat green nakked body, but make the outfit an an improvement in quality while keeping the same look. He's a middle edition, with hands flat at his sides, a green body, and no hairy chest. His head is soft rubber. There seems to be a lot of variation in outfits

    Are his boots or shoes knocked off from Mego? What would be an equivillant Mego boot?

    Is his turtle-neck shirt a separate piece from his jacket? (My CTVT/Mego one has the sleeves mixed in with the jacket.) Is there a Mego-equivillant turtle-neck I could substitute?

    Does the AHI Frankenstein's jacket have tattered sleeves? What sort of material is it made from? It's got a snap on the front, right? How close is it to Mego's?

    How about his black pants - What material is it? Is there an equivillant Mego pant?

    Thanks for any info anyone might offer. Anyone got any patterns? (If you've got a spare original outfit piece for him - any condition - please PM me. I could maybe even make a copy from a poor condition piece.)

      The franky outfit is made of real thin black material tathered at the end of the coat arms. He wears a green thick stretchy cotton shirt with long sleeves that extend past the black coat arms. The boots are very unique to the figure and I dont think there are others like it. I will try to post a pic of some loose boots that I have.

        Thanks for the boot pics, Steelcouch! (I'll give those a good home, if they need some green feet to keep 'em company! ) Between your description and AAAAA's of the shirt, there's already some confirmation of the variances in them mentioned at Plaid Stallions. Any number of AHI Frankie figures can have significant variances in their costumes and parts.

        Can anyone post pics of the shirt, pants and jacket? I'd understand if they can't actually come off of the figure without ripping.

        I was looking at CTCT Herman Munster figures on eBay, and rather thought that might be a nice outfit for my Frankie him to upgrade him a little. Herman's costume seems brown, so I may have to dye it. Some shots show a black version, but I think those are file photos of prototypes.
