proto-type soldier ape on Ebay? I don't know.

Looks like someone else (?) may be pulling the same crap.

Another obvious soldier ape with painted face. This guy is also a big POTA collector. This stuff is starting to get out of control. I hope some other poor sucker doesn't fall victim to this scam.

yeah I just this one and was about to post it

[kingcarm]

I just emailed the seller asking him if the neck plug is the same color as the face. Lets see if this guy responds or if he just doesn't reply back like the last guy.

I doubt you'll get an answer Carm and if you do it'll be something like I don't wanna risk the head breaking or I don't know I bought it like that and was told it was original

Well at least this guy responded to me when I sent in a question about it, though his response contains one line that always fires off my Auction Crap Detector - "I'm not an expert on these items...." I find that almost universally to be questionable seller code for "plausable deniability for fraud".


Dear darthshamus,

I did not paint the figure, however, I got it with some other POTA figures a while back. I can not tell if it is painted or originally that color from the factory. I am not an expert on these items. I did not know the face was supposed to be a different color. I would suggest that you do not bid if you do not want to take a chance. I am sorry I do not have a definative answer for you.

Here's what the seller wrote back to me about the face. I asked him if the neck plug was the same color as the face:

Dear skullface13,

I can not tell. I do not collect these figures. I got it in a lot of Megos a while back. I did not remove the head. I do not want to because I do not want to break it.

I bid on alot of ape figures and this Seller DOES collect POTA figures. He probably saw how well the other scammer....I mean seller did on his auction and figured he'd give it a try.
