Know your AHI Frankenstein Variants!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AHI<\/p>\n

In issue 1 of Toy-Ventures Magazine (limited supply available<\/a>), we sought to catalogue the many variants of the Azrak-Hamway World’s Greatest Super Monsters action figures.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a bonus, in speaking with former AHI\/Remco employees, we discovered the origin of these many variants. It seems that AHI did not own its factory in Hong Kong ( not uncommon even today). Each purchase order would be made out to a company called SOMA (still in business today) and not AHI itself.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SOMA would then assign a factory to the production run, and the many differences in materials and styles were a result. After the Universal Monsters license had expired and AHI had stopped offering the World’s Greatest Super Monsters, one factory continued to produce them until the early 1980s, creating a series of bootleg variations as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Left to Right:<\/strong>
\nPainted Hands Frankenstein, Flat Palms Frankenstein, Jointed Wrist Frankenstein and Flesh Body Frankenstein (which is an unlicensed knock-off).<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are just some of the variations of the AHI Frankenstein figure in Issue 1. Copies are still available at our store or Amazon (link in bio) or below:<\/strong>
