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

That gorilla re-work is fabulous!!!! That's really awesome!!!

Does anybody know if Hasblow hands can be removed? I don't have any figures here and someone wanted to dress up their Hasbro figure with a green jumpsuit. My first response would be, "don't bother it won't work...the shoulders would be too broad as well..."

Does anybody have any suggestions? They were thinking of popping off the hands and repopping it back after they dressed their figure....is this even possible?

Which hands?

Thank you.

The Gorilla on the right is this one:
Safari Ltd Wildlife Wonders Silverback Gorilla

I don't have any of the late 90's Hasbro 1/6 apes.

Oh, I almost forgot something.
I combined two of my interests (apes and zombies) and I made some 1/6 scale zombie chimps. Because they look so horrific , I didn’t think they would be appropriate in this area, so I posted photos here:

If its apes, its appropriate!

The helmet hair works great. Thanks for sharing the photos and please keep'em coming.

I have a few plans for my 1/6 scale Apollo astronauts one of these days.

That looks way cool!

such crisp pictures! what camera did you use? I really love it!!

Cornelius hasbro hands? Are they removeable?

The zombie apes look really great!!

I thought several years back of a POTA reimagining. It basicly was set around what if the virus that killed off all the dogs and cats had "long term" effects on other living things. Maybe just in isolated areas. Maybe enhanced effects after the simian/human war. Eitherway, it led to an area where Burke & Virdon went exploring to find a city of apes......ZOMBIE apes!!
I couldn't figure out how to properly zombie an ape, and was too chicken to destroy one from my collection to see what could be accomplished.
You, sir, have shown just how great it can look when done.
Kudos!

Jess, I removed all the gorilla gauntlet hands and Attar hands from my Hasbros. I reattached the Attar ones to a body with a spare HT Ursus head and it came out great. I would hazard that Cornelius would be the same. I would have to dig out my Hasbros to be sure though so I could see the wrist joint again.

Look at this cool photo of Dr. Zaius! I wish I could save the image somehow. I don't feel like buying it for $20...

OK. No more surfing. I should really take this opportunity to bang out those damned costumes. So tired of thinking of them.

Cool pic of Dr. Zaius.

Ok, thanks for the encourage. I will post the horrific images here also.

I am in contact with a talented sculptor that plans to sculpt a 1/6 Koba from Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

I told him I would share the information with a possibly interested group.

I think some of you are friends with him on Facebook.

Here is an example of his work:

Hey! That's Jason!!

Yep, I just bought some of his stuff.

I love the shot with Virdon and Burke....

 

[monkeybat]

Thats a cool scene, I love Virdon and Burke customs anyway, can I see some pics of them ?

 

[Ironman1188]

I need to get back to doing some POTA stuff.
I've digressed in too many different areas again.
Doing some Trek, Expendables [Sly version & my own "old school" team], some varying super and space heroes.
DP, you are most inspiring.

I love this thread. When I am down or need a break, there's always something wonderful to see. When I am uninspired I check out what everyone's doing.
