Has anyone created a custom Mego Gorilla Grodd?

I apologize. When you said "back in the day" I thought you really meant "back in the day" not something from the late '90s to '00s.

You Know,.. That looks Pretty Damn Cool Edgaar !
I really like the Head you used. Very Nice, congrats & Kuddos !

Me too..."back in the day" to me means Carmine Infantino art on naked Grodd...that picture posted is waaay too modern.

Nice pics right up my ally. I am working on the Challenge of the super friends line.

How would you make the Hulk body look hairy?

Check with Black Knight or Wrathdemon..they've both done custom furred Beasts.

My bad - the image in my head went back a ways (only because of my age and no the art :-) )

I actually found that one really quick on a google search - it was more recent than I realized

My Uncle who is one of the original mego customizers from "back in the day" (1978-1984)
He came up with the idea to use the Big Jim Gorilla. So when I started to buy back and recreate the collection for me and my daughter I snagged a Big Jim Gorilla off eBay and we repainted him to look like Grodd and he fits well with the mego collection. My uncle is good with a brush. He spent hours making this ape look like he had grey hairs. You should see what he did with my Hawkman head. LOL


You want a Gorilla Grodd? You can probably find these things on eBay.

For me it started out as a nightmare job that turned into something that I managed to get a system down after making almost fifteen of them in the last year or two.
My first attempts I had blue fur glued to my hands and finger tips. I had to literally pick it off my finger tips with tweezers so I could play the guitar. My band mates had some weird thoughts but they figured it out when I showed them what I was doing.

I have only made three this year and I am sure I will get a few more people asking me to do it for them. I might make a tutorial on a website showing the new task I came up with to apply this fur...

really nice!

Is it possible to Flock a body, and what on earth would it look like??? I am guessing it would look like Grod had a summer buzz cut all over his body, and would look very unnatural.

Here's my 9 inch Grodd, head is a 12 inch Hasbro Soldier Ape, body is a heavily modified Sabretooth FC, and lots of craft fur. And yes he has a cape ala New Frontier.

Here is Ed Nagy's version that I found in the user gallery at the old forums



This is a close up on the hands and feet he did in relation to standard size hands and feet

I want that one!

I have a Yeti from the modern era G.I. Search for the Yeti set and was considering dyeing him black. It would probably look stupid though.

Does anyone have contact information for Ed or his website URL?
