Just nabbed a couple of Frankie's cheapish, woohoo! NRFB Frank1 for $30 and a loose BOF Frank for $18...pleased with these scores.
Both figs have pro's and cons--not keen on the solid wrists on the BOF, might articulate them later. The usual early wrists on the Frank1 look great and will take any pose. Might make some extra hands (strangling?)
The boots on both figs give no movement at all--BOF has solid plastic boot/legs with a swivel at the top below the knee. Frank1 has rubber boots up to the knee...they come off so I hear, presumably with a lot of heat. Both these guys are not going to fall over when stood up straight, bit limiting though. Might fix that also, maybe with a body swap.
The BOF jacket is a good size (unlike the Frank1)--I had a quick go at fixing the armpits, way too much cloth there. Probably will replace with a black jacket (supposed to be black, these jackets aren't they?).
Frank1's jacket is useless and embarrassing...like the width of his trousers though: BOF's are wider, presumably to get over the fixed boots.
Prefer the paint on BOF...he looks dead. Frank1's paint is a bit too bright for me, got to redo at some point. BOF's head shape is spot on, I reckon...Frank1's seems off. Good sculpts on both--Frank1 will be a satisfying match when he's been repainted.
Neither head will look down--need some work. Funny neck arrangement on the Frank1, would be better with a bit of artic on the headjoint, instead of being just a swivel.
Had a chance (just after I got these) for a loose SOF...passed because it was a bit pricey and had the same fixed wrists as BOF.
More pics later, when I've made some improvements to these monsters!
