    Wizard of Oz: Winged Monkey

    I've been wanting to do this custom for a long time. This completes all my planned Oz customs. Parts used: Head: Mattel monkey head shrunk down by Austin at Reproheads. I painted it and added the cap; Body: CTVT 5" body; Hands and feet are Doc Mego Ape feet; Body suit hand sewn by me; Jacket and wings are from the Mattel monkey.


    Looking for:

    Hallelujah. Very nice. I started one of these 10 years ago but never finished it. Great job.

    Of all the characters that Mego should have added to existing lines I put the Flying Monkey right up there with Green Lantern or Sulu in terms of "How could they not have done that?" It's so obvious and so cool.

        That is quite well done, and a spitting image of that picture. Very nice. That thing freaked out my Dad when he saw it as a youngster.

                              Hiya Mikeoz

                              Is that the most recent Barbie monkey from the Winkie monkey set? There was one made several years ago, but I have had a hekuva time tracking the older model down.

                              thanks
