Local Wrestling Legend Frankie the Chi-Town Hitman
Frankie is a personal friend of mine and business associate. He used to wrestle professionally full-time and was most remembered for his Frankie the Tyrant character back in the 1990s. Here is a couple of pictures:
Today wrestling is a part-time gig for Frankie who wrestles under the name Frankie the Chi-Town Hitman and mostly wrestles for charity events like the one last night called Rumble For the Kids. The goal of the event was to raise money to buy new playground equipment for schools in Princeton, Illinois.
There's Frankie decked out in his "guido" suit in the upper right of the promotional poster. He was the main event.
To help the cause Frankie asked me to contribute a Frankie the Chi-Town Hitman custom action figure they could raffle, or auction, off. All of the proceeds would go to the charity. I excitedly said, "Yes!"
May I present to you Frankie the Chi-Town Hitman...
Head so magnificently sculpted by Next2LastMohican; body by Castaway Toys via Noelani; card by Mego73; clothing from CTVT; paints and overall concept by yours truly.
Back of card (I included our wrestling friend Hubert "The Beast" Stenson as one of the wrestling All-Stars)
Here's Frankie taking on Mego Superman...
Not to leave out our Marvel fan base, here is Frankie taking on Mego Hulk...
And, last but never least, here is Frankie knocking out Rowdy Roddy Piper...
I was flattered to be asked to be involved and honored to be able to put this together for the cause. Thank you to all who helped. Know you are all greatly appreciated. And, a big thanks to Frankie. The wrestler with a heart of gold.
I hope you enjoy my customs as much as I do, and, as always, thanks for looking.
Peace, Love, and Megos,
Austin
PS Here is Frankie and me two years ago at my office. Tag Team Champs!!!
