Save the Planet of the Apes!!! - PIX ADDED!!

Its a BBi Barney figure.

Jess, whatever material you think works best and "hangs" right is fine by me. You have the side by side advantage as to which is more in scale. I've seen pix of burke's shirt that look light dark blue and I've seen it look lighter blue. I trust your judgement.

Great pics IM. I still think that some of the clothes that they wear look like a terry cloth/wash rag type material. Any thoughts on that?

From what I remember those leather boots shown several weeks ago would be perfect! A bit costly though.

Hi Angel! The brown boots then?

Jess/KFog - I just located a picture of that HASBRO gorilla that I just gave to KFog on post 1596.

See how much bigger he is? It's not scaled in the same way as a Sidehow figure.

Yea, I call him my big headed Gorilla. I think that he has personality though. I also like how you matched the colors of the pants and shirt to the TV version gorillas. Great job Angel!

ENAUD- I don't recall the base figure I used for Dodge & Landon. (Actually it's the same figure.) It's actually two Landons. I explained what I did, and what figures I used, earlier in the massive thread.

I didn't do anything to Landon. I just put him in the atronaut suit and ironed on a name tag with his name.

Let me see if I can find some info on that for you...

Hi Angel! Are you able to iron on the nametags that you purchased?

Hi Angel and Jess! Here they are.

Looks like you found your pants and boots KFog. Those look really good. The color seems right and the boots seem right also.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Hi Angel. I think that my pants are a little lighter than yours, but do you think that they would work without having to dye them? Kent.

I think they're just fine. I wouldn't bother dying them.

Coooooool! That will work for me. The boots are from Newline miniatures and can be purchased at Monkey Depot.

I got them off of a GI Joe Japanese officer figure believe it or not.

Hi Angel! The brown boots then?

I think so... I really like those leather boots. I already have some tall "rubber" riding boots that I bought from Toy Anxiety. I'm just going to paint mine the appropriate color. I'm just on a budget.

I take it you found him a black leather vest?

 

[kfog41]

I know about budget! I have a lot of military figures that I plan on selling on ebay so that I can put more funds into the Apes stuff.

 

[kfog41]

I take it you found him a black leather vest?

Yes, the black tunic. He looks fine and reminds me of the Gorilla that shot Brent in the arm in Beneath.

That's how I did Dodge, Landon, Burke and Virdon. I ironed my nametags on the astronaut uniforms. They don't come that way though when you order them. I have a roll of "iron on tape" that I bought from Wal-Mart. (It's in the the section with the fabrics and threads.) I simply put the iron on tape on the backside of the nametags. Presto!

Oh, so you actually don't use an iron then.? Just stick them on?

I take it that figure was already in your collection then?

Yes, he was. I am lucky to have some things that can cross over to the POTA Genre.

Good luck with that! That's a really good way to keep the ape stuff coming your way and getting rid of those less desirable items.

There you go hook him up with a pistol!

I agree. It is a good way to compensate my income and keep the hobby going.

No they MUST be ironed on.
