    Return to the Planet of the Apes Zira and Nova

    Finally got around to taking pics of these two (after dusting them off). Finished them both about 2 years ago and every once once in a while I catch myself thinking I will go back and do some final touch-up on them but after 2 years on a shelf? They are pretty much done. Both are on Doc Mego bodies and Nova has a Doc Mego head re-rooted by me as well as all paints and clothing.

        Her hair was shorter in the animated series. In some shots it almost looked like she had a "shag". That is one of the things I keep thinking I want to go back and tweak. I think I remember Zira having gloves too so I may go back and do something with her hands as well but who knows?

          Pretty slick... I especially like Zira: Elements of the animated version, but not "cartoony"...

              I had to lookup that Doc head... because surely I had missed some other female head that he sold. Nope. It is just another amazing transformation on your part. Great job.

                    neat figures, really like the use of the cartoon show costuming. Love that show.

                      They both look awesome, and I like the background too, Zira looks like she will be
                      holding a seminar at General Hospital Port Charles USA, those doctors could probably
                      learn something from her expertise.

                        Zira is perfect! If you ever want to make another send a pm.
                        If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.
