    Custom of the Week - 8/6/2012

    This week the spotlight falls on lilbrosj66's POTA Gorilla Admiral. Everything is tight and clean, looking forward to more members of the gorilla army.







    See the original thread here:

    Just finished this guy the other day. I figured that Urko has to have someone to answer to, right? Custom head (including war wound under his right eye), Glyph boots, and real leather vest/chest plate. The plate on the chest piece is from the Hasbro 12" line dyed red to match. Not sure if he needs an accesory or not. Maybe

    I hadn't seen the Side peices yet. Outstanding! Have you named the Gorilla so we may add him to Cannon? You obviously have mad sewing skills. Will you make outfits available? I know you have sold on ebay, but perhaps economy of scale is the way to go. let's get that sewing machine crankin. Daddy needs some outfits LOL.

              Love the "shoulder pads"! Perfect addition to give it that military look you were aiming for. Awesome job!

                  Thanks for the feedback guys. Since this figure will be following my other POTA figures to Ebay soon, and I will need a name for the backer sheet, I am open to suggestions! Let's hear what's out there!
