I am still hopeful that either someone picks up the ape license and continues with this line in some fashion or another , or maybe Neca just surprises us all and announces some sort of one off POTA figure , human or ape doesn't matter. Just can't believe Aliens and Predator are in there double...

I agree 100% with you! Look at the Predator line they do, I think there in like there 12th series, that franchise is newer and resonates with a lot younger demographic. I would have loved some human figures too, but the Apes are the most interesting and I for one am very happy to have gotten...

Yeah I would definetley go with white for the stripes, not sure if a brush would give you the results you want without bleeding.? I believe they make acrylic spray paint, I would mask off your stripes and paint with an acrylic aerosol. Just be sure to do a very fine mist and let it dry for a...

I forgot to mention, it is much easier and reduces your risk of twisting or bending the post if you soak the figures in a pan of water on high heat on your stove , it makes removing and reattaching the heads a lot easier. I took mine out just before it was about to boil to remove and reattach...

SOLUTION TO DIFFERENT HEAD TO BODY POST WHEN SWITCHING HEADS: There are two different head post that are attached to the body of the POTA figures, a short one and a long one. If you find that the head you want to attach to a different body sticks up higher than it should in ratio to the...

I sent Jessica an email asking what she thought of my ideas, and if she would consider altering the Caesar head. Based on all the photos and actually watching the Tv shows , I would have to go with a silver/ metal finish on Urko's gauntlets. I too noticed the different length in neck pegs, I...

Great job.. this is definitely my favorite figure out of the line up. even though we had to figure bash to make him. Here is the web site to Plan B: plan-btoys.com I have a 1/10 scale Breyer horse I bought at a flea market that is brown, I will be working on painting him White for the Urko...

Heres another Shot..

Hey Stickman ... Here ya go.. The German figure I got from Plan B toys worked perfect for robbing the pistol and holster from. Now my URKO is complete. I was worried about the scale , but it seems perfect. Let me know what you...

Another custom I want to do is using the new Conquest gorilla head on a standard soldier and paint the Tv series "V" on the front of his vest. This would then allow one to have the exact same Tv Ape we were shown from Neca earlier this year. The face would need dry brushed brown though.

Thanks Stickman, I am thinking if we can find a suitable back pack, using the new Caesar head, on the Cornelius body, The front leather bib on the Cornelius will have to have the embossed ape emblems removed somehow and repainted. I think the face is good from the Caesar to pass as a Galen head...

In regards to the Medicom figures: Too small for integrating the apes, they are kind of in a scale all there own, However I think the Taylor and Nova figures would work.

Great looking Urko, Crue-Leader. Do you remember the company of the figure you bought, 21st Century Toys, Bbi? I will have to try the same. I bought the figure from a company called "Plan B" , very reasonable too. Figure and shipping was only $15.00. Once I get mine in I will be trying to...

Here is my customized General Urko figure, using the Ursus head and popped on to the Aldo body. The heads come off easily in boiled water. You have to use acrylic paint to paint the Urko head, enamel will never dry and just rub off. I found a company that makes WW2 6" figures and one of there...

Hey guys, need your help... I want to swap Ursus head and put it on the Aldo body so I can make an Urko figure. I am all set on removing the heads, but as you can see in my picture below I have painted the face in an oil(dry brushed) and painted the helmet embossed symbols in an enamel. My...
