    Custom Ape shoes WIP

    I've almost finished my Ape shoes and thought i'd post some pic's.
    The feet are enlarged from the Medicom Lucius figure.

        Awesome! I had been thinking about shrinking sideshow shoes and making them Mego. Just never got to it. I'm glad you did this. If you make these available I'm in for some.

          Are those shoes or feet? They're great either way. Nice proportion and detail.

              Me too! Look great and NEED to be done. Footwear is the weakness of the Mego Ape culture.

                      No, those are shoes. If you've ever looked at the feet of the chimpanzees and orangutans in the APES films and TV series, they have shoes that feature the prominent "thumb" on their feet. That's what these are. If they were just feet, then Ian might as well have just used the ST Mugato feet.

                            They are shoes that attach directly to the body, if you get my meaning.

                              Correct!
