Talk about yer' "Gorilla" Warfare...nyuk nyuk. Might do a tiny Charlton Heston. I think full playset with human captives would be cool.

Those look very well done. Is that 54MM? What company is doing these? Humans and more apes with guns and clubs would be quite excellent.

Thank you wds0855. I made these. I don't have a company, just me. {sm2} I loved the movies as a kid, and if I'd had a set of these I would have been in heaven. Better late than never. ^&confuse Yes, they are 54mm, but "my" 54 mm are much more substantial than what I've seen from manufacturers. Once I have some done I'll post my Ebay link on this thread. Thanks for your suggestion about multiple poses also.

Thanks for that link, that kit is awesome! I don't have the patience to make stuff like that. I use Sculpey and usually make my figures in a couple hours. Sometimes that's more obvious than others, but I have too many I want to make before I croak to spend too much time on any one in particular. I'm definitely a "toy soldier" kinda' guy as opposed to "military miniature" sort.

Awesome sculpts. I was a big Planet of the Apes fan as a kid in the 70s. Always thought a plastic figure playset like Marx for the movies would have been fantastic. I like what you're working on here. Keep us posted.
Cheers,

Here is my first casting. I think this will be an ongoing set, I've got some ideas for other figures, so maybe 10 different in total. I'll continue to post pics as it develops.

Reworked the same figure so he can round up those ****ed dirty humans with his pole-noose.

Re: Planet of the Apes (Final Gorilla Soldier Set)

I was going to do some Gorilla Soldiers on horseback, but got kind of burnt out. So here it is...
