Creating Custom Apes for Your Mego Planet of the Apes Collection 

Thanks. It really is a fun hobby. Do you do Mego customs?

Thanks for the encouragement, Andrew. =)

Yeah, Dr. Mego has the classic PotA stuff. I do like what is being done with printed resin though. We are getting the variety I have always wanted.

Glad you like them!

It's the 1/9 scale Breyer that you will need. I think I am going to do a video soon on how to make easy saddles.

@@casualcrafter Thank you Sir....Can't wait to see the Saddle video.

@@leftnuff Thank you for watching.

If you haven't purchased one yet, Breyer calls their 1/9 scale horses their "traditional" size.

Thanks for the info Sir. I'll be ordering their Traditional style horses.

Glad you liked it. =)

Thanks! No, I don't sell them, but it really isn't as hard as you may think. The Gorilla head was very easy and would be a good one to start with.

Check out this video by Rachael Baker: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8-ahr7d6GcI.html You may have to crack the neck open a bit and reglue. I use a drill and rotary rasper (www.ebay.com/itm/234564377353?hash=item369d205b09:g:zG0AAOSw4j5ii~NU) to get the neck hole to the right size. Just remember that you can't put back material you grind away. I have made that mistake. It's better to go slow with the neck sizing. You still may have to crack open the neck though and reglue. I use some beefy long nosed pliers and gently push the neck welds apart.

Awesome thanks for the help, I wanted to make sure first before I started to cut anything.

That would be a neat idea. I would think costuming would be the only limiting factor. I have seen weapons and heads available.

@@casualcrafter I wanna see a naughty Jenny Agutter.

The are produced by Monster Fight Club. Do a search for Barren Hills terrain.

I think that's what was intended based on the name of the sculpt.

Thanks. I saw your work on Facebook. Do you create your own sculpts?

@@casualcrafter Some i do others i commission. i work 60 hours a week and dont have a ton of time so i do what i can i work with a sculptor who does really good work now that he understands scale.

@@mindwarp1966 Has he done a Kolp head for you yet?

@@casualcrafter do you know lee taylor?. if so i believe he has a kolp figure hes selling it looksb great

i have not done or had done one yet

I did, however, it was added after I received these two. It does look great so I will pick it up soon. What I think would make a great addition to the PotA collection would be a Kolp and generic BftPotA mutant(s).

@@casualcrafter Given the shape of the gorilla head, I'm wondering if Reliving's going to eventually come out with a removable General Urko style helmet. He looks like he just left Great Clips or something with that hair. 😆

@@Steve-wo7gt That is a great idea. I will ask JSpy if that is something he can do.

@@casualcrafter re: JSpy. I'm not familiar with him. Who is that? If you look at the chimp and orangutan heads, the hair is more flowing and natural looking. The gorilla's hair is flat and tight. I don't think that's an accident. I think the plan is to eventually add a helmet to the line.

@@Steve-wo7gt He created that really cool wagon and does some amazing accessories for Mego.

So true!
