FREE MOVING JUSTIN
I always wanted a boyfriend for Free Moving P.J. as after all, Cara has Curtis and of course, Barbie has Ken. I was envisioning like a Mod era update of vintage era Ken’s best friend Allan, so meet FREE MOVING JUSTIN!!!! I was thrilled to find this rather good unidentified Ken clone with red hair! (I tried researching him but have found no info on him as yet. I think those are his original breeches and black jackboots in the last pic, so possibly, he was some GI Joe-type soldier action figure? He only has a generic Hong Kong marking across his back. If anyone has any info on him, I’d be really grateful.) His head and arm moldings are actually really great for a clone, but he is really bizarrely constructed. He has the usual clone-ish hollow plastic torso (and a twist waist to boot, so even though he doesn’t have that tab in his back like the other Free Movers, he can at least twist his waist with them!) but he has really soft rubbery arms that are clearly pirated from Mod era Ken's molds, a soft vinyl head that is also identical to Ken’s sculpt but - quite oddly- exposed joints at the knees and ankles with little silver screws in the joints! His eyes were weird... bright blue with red rims around them, like he had been up all night on some drug-fuelled binge!- and he had Maddie Mod’s crazy, stare-y eyes, so I repainted them a hazel brown to go with his red hair and with Free Moving P.J.'s eyes, and they look wonderful now! I named him Justin after my best friend in high school who had bright red hair like him!
