    Custom of the Week - 8/8/2017 - The Universe's Greatest Space Apes!

    This week the spotlight falls on Confessional's spacey take on the Astro Apes, originally beloved knockoffs of their real deal Mego cousins. There is a lot of ingenuity and neat touches on display here blending vintage and custom pieces - enjoy!

          Awww, thanks much for the recognition! I have hundreds and hundreds of Apes, but these will have a special place in the collection. Not only a homage, but also represent what's missing in contemporary toys.

            That is thinking out of the box! Those look great! Congrats on COTW!

            also on a side note - I can't help but think of Astro Smurf for some reason when I look at these - he just pops into my mind.
            He was always 1 of my Fav Smurfs - lol!

            Again great Job!
