      I would buy an "Artisan Series" of figures like this if Mego Corp made them. I keep coming back to this thread for another look.

        ^^ Aww, thank you!… and thanks to all for the compliments/interest.

        I realized recently I've been (casually) making customs in a few distinct/inspired styles over the years with varied results, but the Greatest SpaceApes are the eye-candy that really appeals to me in fantasy sci-fi, Japanese toys and mystery of creatures far and wide. There's a day coming where making toys is going to crossover into the work I do as an artist, and that clarity is going to be really exciting when it hits.

          whatever it is you are working on I sure hope its in the same retro vein, love me some 50/60s SF stuff.

                Ahh Retro-ANSA!, that's absolutely a great idea!… "Are you friend or foe First Candidates from the Space Corps?"

                  That would be awesome. Still like my old idea of retro space Gorns in a war with the Space Apes.

                        Lizards vs. Apes for space superiority! Now that's entertainment!

                        <reaching for my extra Mugato> …hmmm, he's angry, orange and clearly needs a raygun!

                          From a planet in the same solar system come the Mugato! Are they friend or foe?
