    help needed: lizard apes question

    Hiya folks.

    I recently saw a pic in marketplace with two different colors on the lizard tunics. Roy mentioned the 'silver speckled' lizard tunic.
    Never realized there were more than one version of the lizard tunic.

    Can any of the apes heads tell me if there are other lizard variations? Relative toughness to find? I know the lizards are much more difficult to nab than the blue or brown tunics.

    thanks

    I have heard of the silver speckled one before, although never seen one. For some reason i'm thinking there might be a dull and glossy version of the vinyl, though i'm not sure where I read it.
    I'm sure Mike J will provide more answers sometime soon.

      I have a speckled version, seemed to be more common.
      I did have a high gloss one, less common. No speckles and it was blue. Very cool outfit.
      I've seen pics of a high gloss black version. Never had one.
      There are some pics in the apes gallery of the variations.

        I have seen the gallery pics, but they don't really address multiple colors on the lizard/snakeskin variants.

        I have a blue glossy one with the reptile pattern, and a duller greyish one. Just trying to find out if I will ever find gloves for the grey one.

        thanks for the info so far.

          Heres some pics of the lizard/snakeskin tunic apes i have.The two middle ones are glossy,the far right has a duller appearance and the far left is(i think)the silver speckled tunic.Its hard to get a good pic to show the difference.The first was taken with a flash and they look pretty much the same.The second pic was taken with no flash and the third is a closeup of the far left ape.The speckled one seemed to be the toughest one for me to find.The grey/silver soldier ape is the rarest and finding gloves is very tough,i got two of them and they are both gloveless,but someone here,i cant remember who recently found a pair somewhere,so that proves its not impossible.

            I've seen and might have two versions of the speckled. one like the one shown which looks like air bubbles in the gloss and another with actual silver specs imbeded in the gloss.

              The Silver Speckled Lizard suit , I wouls say is much harder to come by than the regular Lizard skin . Even more so with gloves ... I even have a Lizard skin soldier with no pattern on it on the front part of the tunic so it looks like a blue patent leather type look ............... Roy

                The dulish grey one , If you look in the light you should be able to see that speckled silver look which is what gives it that dulish grey look . and as far as finding gloves for that one ..... Good Luck , your best bet would be to get yourself anoth tunic and send it to T so she can work her magic and make you a pair ........ Roy
