Thanks, stickman! Here's a truer picture...the others were kind of bright. The TRU sale ended in February; unfortunately I was about a week late to the start of it, and when I got to my stores everything was gone. (I didn't realize I had to come here before I got new messages, darn it, so I...

Thanks Oxnard! I actually got lucky with a couple of loose figure pickups, and know I was fortunate to get them.

This was lots of fun! I soaked the heads in a little hot water and switched them out, then after painting the face I gave it a clear shiny sealer coat to get that wet-face gorilla look, and sprayed a little matte finish on the silver parts of the helmet to hopefully keep them secure. Thanks for...

That piece is really cool! Love the "grabby" feet. That first NECA soldier had a similar look, like it was an artist's interpretation that minimized accuracy to the makeup for a more direct simian feel. The subsequent ones were truer to the film. It's good to have both, and they look good together.

Amazing photos, stickman! Thanks for the kind words about the pistol...I actually studied planks of wood to see what would happen to grain in a 360-degree pattern! I just picked up a Zira yesterday at a comic store I passed on my travels...now I have them all, with multiple gorillas. I put the...

Just got my second Aldo in the mail, so I'll be boiling some heads off soon! In the meantime, last night I finished a pistol model I'd been wanting to do forever. Between the Dremeling and painting it's been off-and-on for several weeks. Fun though, but I didn't like having to wrap the whole...

Wow, I was lucky to come across that Toy Biz horse and notice its possibilities. I should have looked through this thread first—as I plan to right now to get tips on how to best pull off the Ursus and Aldo heads for my own Urko project! Looking at yours for inspiration, stickman!

This morning I stopped by a toy show and noticed a grim reaper on a horse that looked like he was roughly the NECA POTA scale. The horse also had a similar finish and paint style to the Apes figures as well. The set was $10 so I picked it up on the chance the horse might look good under the...

Many thanks, Stickman. I feel like I got to know several of you very well over the last week!

Well, I just finished reading through this entire thread, having only discovered it a couple of weeks ago. Personal distractions kept me from keeping up with news about the line; I was just someone who picked them up at TRU and got excited whenever new ones showed up. NECA's efforts were...

Re: <> Batman 1966 TV Series - Batman - OMG Photo Review <> Figure looks great! But...on the chance I decide to cancel my preorder, it says "cancellation fees apply." What does that mean? Do they charge you $25 to cancel your order if you haven't paid anything yet?

Hi...Jacksonville, Florida

Hi...looking for a mint POTA Lawgiver statue. Condition/presence of packaging not important. Original style, not bloody. Thanks!

I actually think this is the best Bela likeness so far from SS, and I've pre-ordered it! I've nitpicked a lot in the past about the Bela likenesses, but I have no complaints about this one. (Never having seen the big Drac bust in person, I've had a hard time determining if I like that one or...
