We have run the 3 different colors of Mandibles/Jaws from the original WMS tool (Red for RS, Ted for RS, and Rudy for Funhouse - yes, each was actually a different color!) - with 2 lip profiles (Rudy and Ted have the Curvy Lip, and Red has the Arc Lip).

As if that could not be any more complicated, we are trying to match as close as possible the Lip color of each of the 3. You would think that was simple, but no ... we acquired the original colors for each of the lips - and of course that does not match too well the originals that we have on a RS and FH that we have. In fact the original blueprints don't really call out 'red lips' they are more of an orangish or a pinkish red in all cases.

So, before we start decorating (painting) the lips we wanted to get the 'best' colors - doing this with pictures and browsers is probably not the best, but if anyone has input that would be great. We've included for each of the Mandibles what we saw on our original game vs what is specified on the blueprint. Note that there are no 'red' reds on any of them and we look at the face upper lip decoration to see that the mandible (lower lip) was not altered or touched up.

Would be interested in any thoughts on this and if anyone has anything different on their game. It is very possible that different Reds were used in production, but still our game shows different than the prints, so it's a little confusing as to what to do.

What is attached are 3 pics for each lip color - the color swatch is the closest match to our real game, and the bottom is the specific color called out by the blueprints.

Thanks!

We have the Mandibles here and just need to decorate and then will be available. We are moving thru all of our WMS tooling and trying to get whatever can be run run.

Ok, so after gathering feedback as well as checking the prints, ordering the original colors, checking some games, etc ... the answer is ... it varies!

Here is what we will offer.
- Mandibles - 3 Plastic Colors - these are matched to the prints (Ted is Most Orange, then Red which is in between, and then Rudy which is peach colored)
- Lips - Ted and Rudy had the Curvy Lips and Red had the Oval Lips - we also ran Rudy in Oval Lips
- Lip Colors - There is alot of variance here - faded colors on game, as well as different colors applied at factory SO ... we have 4 color choices:
> Orangish - we believe used on TED
> Light Red - we believe used on RED
> Orangish Red - shows on blueprint for RUDY
> Red - can be on RUDY or the others if desired
- We will also sell the Mandibles UNDECORATED, so you can color them as you wish.
