Monkey Man ROTLA 1/6

[hemble]

Hi All

Adding to my already growing Raider of the lost Ark figures I have added Monkey Man and his little sidekick to the collection. I have always been surprised that no-one has ever made a 1/6 version of him that I know of.

I decided to mix this figure with both the movie version and Hasbro 3-3/4 figure to get the desired look you see now.

RECIPE

1: Monkey Man - The head is from Dragon's Timeline figures I think it was Auret, I added a little extra hair and goatee to the head. The robes inner and outer are from D-Art Studios https://www.d-artstudios.com/index.htm.

The body and hands are both from a TLL v3. The eye patch is made from left over leather and you can't see it that well but he also has the scaring as well.

The turbin and scarf are pieces of material from the material bin cut and dyed to the desired colours, The pants are from my 1/6 bin and again dyed to the desired colour. The sandels are made from the inner soles that come with the Dragon shoes and the starp is some left over leather.

The Monkey is from Ebay and was painted to try and get the look of the little guy and the vest is tissue paper glued inplace and then painted.

I wouldn't think he would. He has like 100 Indys alone!

 

[Wor-Gar]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!



This is one of those guys -- like the German Mechanic -- that I simply must-have!

BRILLIANT job, sir! Brilliant!!!

If I can cobble all the parts you have listed, I'm right behind you.

But how did you get the robes so perfect? Is that custom made from D-art?

Hey Ron have you ever made a custom fedora man from the beginning of the last crusade?

Hi All

Guys great to hear your thoughts on him and there all very much appreciated.

chalkyYT, Mad Old Jim & The Rogster at this stage I only have seven figures left as I sold alot gave some as gifts. But when I get my Raiders collection bigger I'll take pics.

Wor-Gar it is from D-art I have got alot of outfits from him lately including a Belloq ceremonial robes.

The Rogster if I could find a HS that looked like him I would make hom in a heart beat.

Does anybody know what kind of monkey was the one that the monkey man had?

this one looks decent right?




I don't know about the size though: Size: 3" L x 3" H (7.5 x 7.5 cm).
thanks!

Hi All

It was a Capuchan Monkey and I think that might be a little to big by the measurements.

[FLOSI]

Love it Ron! Another absolutely fantastic job~! Monkey Man seems to get overshadowed by Toht, The German Mechanic and Cairo Swordsman but to me he's ever bit as cool and iconic.

Hi All

FLOSI - Cheers mate glad you like him and I'm half way thru doing Barranca and will put him up as soon as his done.

Ron

 

[CAZAFANTASMA]

Who's Barranca?

 

[hemble]

Hi All

CAZAFANTASMA - He was the other guy at the begining of Raiders that ended up getting all the poison darts in his back.

[CAZAFANTASMA]

hahahha OK! Yeah I remember that guy!!!!! WOW that's a hard to know name! I thought I was a hard core fan cause I knew Satipo's name, but "Barranca" which means cliff in spanish
