    ahi Franken-questions

    Hiya folks,

    I picked this guy up a bit back, but haven't really had too many AHI items go by. I was thinking his boots were odd. But now that I look into some pics, the boots look OK. I am not sure about the jacket and the pants.
    Can any Azrakhead give me some info on this fellow.

    I was also wondering which headsculpt this fellow has. It certainly is not the hard head AHI. Wondering which squishy head it is tho.

    thanks in advance.

    It looks like he's wearing a Wizard of Oz jacket instead of an AHI jacket. The AHI Frankenstein jacket has frayed sleeves and is usually made of tissue-thin material. I've owned a loose Frank with those boots years ago. They resemble the boots that Remco used for the nine inch Frankenstein, but they're a bit too small to be those. The head looks like a wide-head version and would feel rather thin and squishy to the touch.

      Thanks Ramsey,

      I was looking at a giant group shot of these fellows from a PS posting and there are a bazillion differences. I like the droopy eye look to this sculpt. Some of them look like his eyes are closed. This one seems more squinty. I am not sure about the pants on this fellow either, they look a little tight for what AHI appears to have used.

      Thanks for the info

        Yep, that's not Frankie's jacket, it's the Wizard's

          Looks like a pretty good substitute. Allot of Frankie coats are now in shreads and very delicate to the touch.

            I wish they had used the Wizards pants as well before they resealed him on the card.

            anybody got a good pic link to different head sculpts for AHI?

            thanks

                Thanks Meule,

                I've seen this pic. I think it was on an auction once upon a time. I was hoping to find closeer pics of the figures and their heads. My eyes ain't what they used to be for squinting at details.
