Remember that this is the little thread that could.

Huh?

You're the one who said we were all panicked. I looked and I'm still not seeing it. Now you're just giving up, and admitting your internal defeat? You're so silly.

Not giving up, nor admitting any type of defeat. You're just not worth arguing with any longer.

I can't wait to get my paws on these Hot Toys apes. I'm going to take fantastic photographs and take them on wonderful adventures.

Save your energy and focus on the real battle...let's bring some more apes onto this planet. Now that Hot Toys is on the verge of mailing out these apes in a few months, we need to rally the troops and get some more churned out. They have not yet breathed their magic on the chimps and the orangutans. When Hot Toys does, I will kowtow to them a thousand times.

Like Virgil, your wisdom cannot be argued.
I concede.

I give up also.

Jessica - Does you green chimp fabric on your 1:1 costume match the green material of the SS figures? I was wondering about making a Prefect collar as seen in the TV pilot of POTA. I haven't been able to locate anything close as of yet.

Seeing these Hot Toys gorillas does once again fuel the fires of passion within. I can't wait to have them. So come on, Hot Toys, bring on the chimps and orangutans.

Let me photograph it and post. Hang on.

Does Hot Toys typically put real hair on all of it's figures? As I recall, the Alien Marine figures had plastic molded hair.

Jess - Did you ever sell any copies of that Burke head you were making? I just found this photo of mine.

 

[Jessica]

The dark olive green is the fabric that is an interweave lock. That's the green I used for my chimp jacket. It's more an Escape color than the original Planet color. The lighter olive green underneath everything is the new fabric I found. If you are going to re-do the Prefect, I suggest you re-do his entire outfit including pants. Zira's green jacket is totally not the right color (I'm going to re-do that someday), and I've included that in the photo as well for reference.

No. I still need to give him back to Ironman after I clean up the face. I wasn't planning on selling him.

 

[Jessica]

Wow, Angel. Your Burke looks just like him! I better hustle and give back Ironman his Burke so he can finish him off. I also have a lot of painting to finish up, but I'm leaving in a half hour to get fitted into a size 8 dress. I always wear a size 4 but size 8 was the smallest one they could find for me. Somebody (not me!) is going to have to re-sew that outfit...

I was going to make the Prefect collar myself. I know can handle that. I know that I couldn't do the entire outfit. I think what I might do is cut up an extra Cornelius shirt from Sideshow and make the collar using that. That way the color will match. I'm just wondering if there will be enough material.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Wow, Angel. Your Burke looks just like him!

Thanks - I know yours will look much better. After redoing his hair at least 3x, I just gave up and said good enough.

Good luck with the dress- What's the occassion?

 

[Jessica]

Why don't you just use up some papertowels and see how much fabric you will need...plop that on top of the Cornelius outfit and see if there will be enough. I know Denise can do the entire outfit.

Wedding party.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

That's a great idea! I'll give it a whirl!

 

[Jessica]

I am so tempted to give the Burke a nosejob, but I don't want to mess him up.
