    That's a super card! So you're gonna do them in their various variations, huh? That's cool. But why does this card have so many sponsors? Was it more expensive to produce, or does each sponsor have an investment in the different versions of the Soldier Ape cards?

      On this particular card, there just happened to be several folks who went in together to pay the $80 to sponsor it. They also sponsored, I believe, The Penguin. Most cards are just sponsored by one person, online site, or whatever.

              I was wondering how you would handle the soldier ape. Now I know. Nice stuff, guys.

                This set is my favorite so far. Scott, you really keep raising the bar on the artwork, and they look so damn cool on the gallery pages.

                  The Preview of the Apes look fantastic
                  It's getting exciting,
                  every few days something new to drool over.

                  I have a few questions though:

                  1. How can I sponsored a card (I'd would've LOVED it to be a Apes one)
                  2. Didn't GORN have hairy hands ?
                  3. If so do I win anything ?

                  ***Just saw the General Ursus card it is SOOOO cool

                          Soldiericious! I am betting these are going to look brilliant as a set.

                          Is that Half Dome in the background?

                            Scott, what a cool card: 3 armed apes running with a castle on the background, I love it. And silver soldier apes are the coolest variation there is

                            We started out as a group calling ourselves the International Men of Mystery with Aussiemegoman (Australia), Thunderbolt (US), me (Belgium) and Merlyn (Hillbillyland). We sponsored the Penguin and Cheron.
                            This time Aussie wasn't here anymore (in fact he was already MIA with Cheron, but we included him anyway), so DocDrako (the 5th member of the International Men of Mystery) took his place. And critter badly wanted to sponsor an ape card, but was too late to do so, so we took him in
