Is Ape Joe is in business? I've tried to locate their site using old links but have gotten nowhere. Do you have some pictures of their work? It's been a LONG time since I saw their work. It would be interesting to compare it to Sideshow's efforts
I don't think they are. I also tried finding them thru old links and searches, but to no avail. I had heard rumors that they were starting to get "Andgor-ish" in not delivering items ordered. I can see about taking some pix, although I wouldn't want to compare them to Sideshow's.
Ape-Joe was built on a Cotswold type body. Not the best articulation [IMHO] by today's standards. He did all his own casting of the gloves and boots and they are imperfect at best. The costumes and headsculpts are decent for "at home" versions but pale in comparison to some other home made ape figures I've seen. If I recall, he was also making some Trek and Starship Trooper stuff, but I never got around to getting any of that. When I think of what his apes cost now I cringe.
