I have the CTVT orange tights, I found them to be better than the earlier brown, purple, and black tights.

^^ Ok gentlemen, you've convinced me to explore these new goodies… I'm most intrigued about the boots tho as they did their own riff on them. The photos are pretty bad on their website and the female boots do look bad, however the other three options looking interesting/promising.

^^ My box arrived over the weekend… you're going to like the boots! It's a good thing they are made well and can take some abuse, as you're going to need to (really!) heat them up to get them on.

Yeah, I noticed that with the gorilla boots; they are really tight. But even with heating and struggling to get them on, I never felt like they were going to crack or split, so whatever causes the eventual fragility with the CTVT stuff hasn't affected them yet. THey do look great, though, and I have to say there seems to be a bit more detail to them as far as folds and such than the originals had, in addition to the snug fit. The not-Zaius boots are likewise nicely detailed, and not just the glyphs. They look really great on the figures, too; the varied colors really liven up the display, giving it a real animated show feel. Only ones that aren't too good are the female boots; the toe area is oddly...bulbous...and makes them look like clown shoes.

Noticed the new Zaius style tops at CTVT and ordered a couple for some more apes. Gave the orangutan some bangs and a lighter hair color to differentiate him from Zaius:

I like your damn dirty apes. Fun stuff.Comment

The chimp tunics as shown in post # 38 (the ones on the Gorillas) are those something you made up yourself, or are those from CTVT?
(I know I could just look, but figured I'd ask anyway. )

CTVT made. Grabbed them when they first came out before they had a chance to sit in a hot warehouse and degrade...Comment

I've had this Space Apes head floating in my head box for a long time (so long I have no idea where I got it from). Only found out what the head actually was thanks to the Toy Ventures video. Widened the neck hole on a female body to plug it in, grabbed some Zira arms, realized one was missing a hand, painted a witch hand to replace it, and got another outfit from CTVT. Now I have an ape with a pretty flower in her hair...
