    Ape soldier Zako from the POTA TV series

    Hey all,

    Here's the finished Zako;



    The outfit is by Dave Lepage and the beautiful card is by Anthony at the Toyroom. Both of you guys are awesome! I appreciate all the help from those guys and from Castaway Toys.



    Comes with figure on card, ape rifle, sidearm, whistle and real wood club! This figure is limited to 25 only and will be 125 dollars, free shipping. Each one will be signed and numbered. PM if you want one. If they go as fast as the sleestak did, don't fall asleep at your keyboard! LOL

        Great stuff, love the detail work on the weapons and belt. The eye paint is really cool, gives the figure some character.

                    Thanks for the feedback. For me, it's always about trying to find that perfect sweet spot between an old school mego figure and something a bit more realistic. If it goes too far in either direction, I feel like I didn't get it quite right. There's a lot of trial and error involved not only in the sculpts, but the entire look and presentation of the figure. Huge thanks again to Dave, Anthony and Jason for their talent, insight and advice. Onward and upward.

                              Really nice work Mr. Carruthers. You certainly have a flair with the monkeys sir! Have you ever taken any "crowd shots" showing all your apes work?
