silver or blue soldier ape?

[Audiorij]

Reason I ask is I have a grey/silver tunic. And I am sure it was that color when it was new, I remember buying them. I have a brown tunic and a grey/silver one.

How rare is the silver tunic ape? Whats it worth?

How about the brown tunic?

Depending on the camera settings,flash on,flash off Ape tunics that are blue can look black.Not an expert,but i'll take a wild guess.The two on the left are blue.The top right might be a silver and the bottom right appears black but is probably blue also.Really hard to tell from the pic and i'm sure thats your point.

Okay, for the experts in Ape tunic colors...

What colors do these four tunics look like?

Not an expert, but not color blind either, they all look to be blue to me. Really need a better picture to be 100% sure!

Man, I had NO idea the wealth of information that was out here! I have learned more about my favorite toylines in the past 24 hours than I could have imagined, SO much great stuff here!

Anyhow, I have several of those Ape shirts. I always did wonder if they were made in different colors or just faded in varying degrees. I'll try and gather all of them together and get a decent shot.

Great stuff.

You have more posts in 9 days than I do in 10 months....

Fletch: Well, there we're in kind of a grey area.
Frank Walker: How grey?
Fletch: Charcoal.

I turned both sleeves inside out to examine the stitching, and it all looks original and consitent with other tunics I have on hand.

That and the black glove that showed up in a lot from ebay make me think it's authentic. Great find.

[scifiguy94]

I too questioned if it has some alteration because of the sleeve length, but I turned both sleeves inside out to examine the stitching, and it all looks original and consitent with other tunics I have on hand. The two in question are definitely both blue, albeit different shades, with both much more common than the black.

Also, I had NEVER seen a black tunic that was the gloved version until recently. I had only seen black cuffed tunics. Here is the first black gloved version tunic that I had seen via scifiguy94's thread a few weeks ago. Although, I did think that those sleeves look a bit short and this could possibly have been a cuffed tunic at one time and just customized this way. However, another member claimed to have a black glove, so that would seem to support this being authentic. Compare this photo to the second one from Lonnie and I think you will agree that this is black and the other is dark blue, albeit a VERY dark blue.

My own personal opinion, based on the photos, is that it is a darker shade of blue. Black tunics are usually BLACK, with no blue shade or underlying tint to them. The second photo, while a much darker shade, still has an underlying tint of blue to it, noticeable especially in the flash glare areas. Here, in my army photo, you can see the black tunic on the far right. The flash glare areas are white and not a tint of blue. Of course, it depends on the monitor you are viewing it on, different displays can be calibrated to show different shades. Also, I agree that the blue has been much more common during my collecting experience. I have seen VERY few black tunics

Blue is much more common then black...

[apes3978]

Go back to page one and you will see I said it was a "blue one"... Why the F would I disagree with myself?!

It's like rche said, blue is the "regular" (i.e. "most common")...

Do you think blue is the "regular one"? Or did you think the picture and everybody that said it was blue was mistaken? There was never any question about it being "regular"!

[LonnieFisher]

Looks like two different shades of blue to me.

Sure looks black to me, and I have it in hand.
