I just wanted to know a few things about this mold. Is the shirt under the tie a buttoned up one or not?
Also, was this type of mold released for any other figure besides whippleman even in the rocky line. Im after one with a jacket.
If anyone has any pics and all, that would be appreciated.
Thanks.

It is a button up shirt. The shirt mold is exactly like that of CS18 JR or CS15? Brother Love just obviously much smaller. Its buttoned up all the way to the collar with the collar folded down. The arms and legs Im 99% sure were used on the Rocky series Jimmy Lennon figure. Lennon was an announcer during the movie. Lennons torso is obviously different because they used a cloth shirt on him much like Gorilla Monsoon and Paul Bearer had. The foot mold is the regular RA "dress shoe" mold as well....If you wanna know anything else Kaney just lemme know

Here's Jimmy Lennon, it looks similar. Thanks G and skribbel, karma to both of you. Im assuming though that this Lennon persons fig doesnt have the skinny toros though does it? From memory the legs on whippleman were skinny too but they arent on lennon are they? Also, can anyone get some pics to help. (besides loose database ones please) One bunch of pics id like to see is lennnon loose and preferrably next to whippleman.

Thanks G. I must say though, lennon appears to have much thicker legs and a regular size jacket. I dont think he has the same as whippleman. If anyones got pics of lennon and preferrably side by side whippleman then that would be great. Also, what skin tone does lennon have? More karma coming your way soon G.

The Wippleman body SHOULD have been used on Howard Finkel, but as usual, Jakks decided to do the illogical.

Put it this way, Jimmy Lennon is basically the same as any other suited figures, just he has diva arms. His figure was out like a year before the Whippleman.

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW (I hate how people on here answer questions when they have no idea what the answer is)
Jimmy Lennon has the old suit legs and feet (the massive ones), the torso underneath the cloth shirt is the Mick torso which has a collar but no buttoned up front (it's just smooth down the front) and there is no tie or tie hole, the torso is white. The arms are the skinny Mick arms in black (that were later used on Kaufman and Wippleman) and the hands are the same too. The Lennon jacket piece is a regular black suit jacket which is way too big for that torso and arms. I always thought that Jimmy Lennon figure looked kinds like a T-Rex as it has enormous legs and tiny little arms. It was a very poor attempt at a scaled suited character, especially as the Mick legs look fine in black for a suit. The Wippleman mold is all new apart from the arms, hands and feet and I 'm sure the rest has not been reused (although I'm really hoping they make that mold in black so we can fix all the other suits) The shirt is buttoned up under the tie and the legs are much smaller than the old ones. The arms and hands are the same as Lennon, the jacket piece is smaller and fits the small torso.
So there you go, I think that's everything you wanted to know, it's not Diva arms, it's not an exclusive Lennon mold, they don't have the CS18 JR torso (which is the hugest of all torsos!) It does my head in how everytime a question is asked on WF it becomes a race to answer first regardless of whether the poster knows the answer of whether they just make it up especially just to be first. It causes so much confusion.

So to clarify, is that JR torso the same one that was used on Tazz, Paul Bearer, and Col. Mustafa? Also, here's hoping the singles release of Andy Kaufman uses that suit mold so those of us who wish to can do some scale correcting.

I guess i need to get a whippleman at this point, hopefully someone can help me out.
