      JJ- it's a modified version of Craig's head (well not his actual head...I mean he's not a bad looking dude, but he's no Action Jackson )
      Yeah, I saw the first version. I kind of figured that you two had the nose tweaked a bit, as the other head had a somewhat more Roman nose. This one is more Norman in appearance.

                Love the new look for AJ!

                Can you clarify for me, though... is this the head for the "throwback" Kickstarter figure, the "rebooted" AJ line, or both?

                  That is sooooooo much better than the hungover Warren Stevens sculpt that Mego used originally!!!

                  Uhhhh....is that the sculpt that Craig was going to use for his male figure? It looks awfully familiar.
                  Yes, it is the same head. I asked the sculptor to take that head and basically bring down the level of detail to better match an original MEGO head. So far I'm very happy with how it's turning out!

                  This is the head for the new "rebooted" AJ line, and there will also be a bearded version. The "throwback" version of the character will also use this head and have the same style outfit that the figure came dressed in back in the early 70's. The new "rebooted" version will have an all new outfit that I think people are really going to like.

                          I would buy a dozen of these and distribute them to some local children in my area that are under privilege. I've worked with these kids before in terms of Mego like figures, and they really get excited when playing with fully poseable/interchangeable clothes Action figures. I will support this line to the fullest.....All i ask is...Please don't make the eyes beedy (really small) like the "Billy the Kid" action figure released a few years back.

                              Man he looks awesome with the beard!! While I don't collect AJ, I respect and appreciate who and what he is. That being said I will definitely be getting both the bearded and non- bearded AJ! Great job super excited!

                                That. Beard. Freaking. WORKS!!!! I LOVE IT!!!

                                Uh....what kind of material will you be using for his iconic flight suit? Please not that gar-bage ripstop nylon material. It frays like heck like you wouldn't believe.

                                And when it comes to boots, silicone rubber please. None of the flimsy kind of plastic that Mego was famous for.
