Andre the Giant!!

[Werewolf]

Yeah, that seems like a lot of work to salvage a pretty mediocre head.

I agree. There are better options. FTC made a pretty nice Andre in the same outfit using a new body sculpt in Mego Scale.

Mattel has also made several Andre figures over the years. Are any of those in scale?

Andre could only wish he really had a thigh gap like that

^ I think they do, I have an extra Hardy body somewhere. One could cut off the feet and glue boots in place, I suppose.

yep they do.

[thunderbolt]

I am surprised they made a Jeff Garlin figure

[Boywonder0]

I don't even know how this figure got into production...

do the exclusive premier bodies have the same neck design as the new Mego and the Playmates bodies? because otherwise if the Andre body size bothers you, seems the Kramden body would work pretty well, only trade off is the crappy forearm/hand design on those bodies

[thunderbolt]

^There is an Exclusive Premiere fat body that was used for Oliver Hardy and likely Kramden. But it has molded shoes and socks.

nothing a dremel can't fix.

[thunderbolt]

wasn't exclusive premier smaller than Mego though?

some were, some were 9 inches. Honeymooners were bigger, so it would work if you can find one.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I don't think so, but Exclusive Premiere did one for Ralph Kramden

Too short, too thin, and headsculpt isn't right (the chin is much too big, for example).

did Playmates make any fat bodies for any of the 9" lines they had? this head sculpt is too big for the 8" body but I bet it would look good on a transplant to a fat playmates body, if there is one.
