No, He has KISS APES? No way.. I need to see if he does a Ace Frehley.

I have the SS PF of Ace Frehley. I still have to pass him onto someone else who will love him...for now he's boxed up in the garage. He needs to go to a loving home...but first I need to photograph Zira and Cornelius admiring his awesomeness.

When your ready for Ace to go to a good home, let me know. Half my house is of Ace. As a guitar player, he was and still is one of my many heroes..

During Frehley's Comets I became close with Ace, and have alot of cool items from him.

I'll post some pics over the weekend on my facebook..
 
My HTs Ursus is on his way to me right now :yess:
Expect a crappy quality pic very soon.

:rock :rock :rock

I love this figure!
The armour limits his articulation a bit and the body was a bit loose on mine.
I also didnt get the "stick" part of the stand:mad:
But this figure is insane! Cant wait for his friend to arrive now so that he has someone to order about:lol

I love KISS. Ace was always my favorite, I guess because he's the closest character to sci-fi. I made a custom 1:6 version a long while ago but its just not Ace.
I recall shortly after he left KISS the first time, I was flipping thru the tv channels and there he was on Uncle Floyd.
I like his Frehley's Comet stuff too!
Sixx, you are so lucky you got to meet him. That must've ROCKED!!!
 
I'm so happy for you Terminator, that General Ursus has finally come home! Even though his body armor limits his mobility a bit, he shouldn't really do that much anyway except saunter and order his underlings about. That's what generals do! Your General Ursus looks so real in your photos. That's what I love about him. There's nothing dollie about him.
 
I think one of you guys might be a KISS fan..

This mask was never worn, and was used as a demo to showcase product for the annual Conventions. Being that it was a demo, more detail went into this mask then the final product at the store.

The store bought version can be had for around $50-$75.00.

Looking for any extras,soilders, ape head sculpts, etc..

Make me an offer, and its yours..

I'll post other stuff later on during the week...

The mask has gone to a better home :clap.. more items during the weekend!

If you dont mind me asking, did you pay under $200? I'm in the market for one, and I cant afford the ebay price of $200 right now. I'm hoping for a used one. I need him and a soilder.

Thanks Jess :)

No, unfortunately.
I paid £170 for him which about $260.
Theres another one on ebay right now going for $250.

The soldier cost me about $160.
 
funny enough i found my receipt for the gorilla captain, and when i preordered he was supposed to be "exclusive," and that's why I chose him instead of a regular gorilla soldier...and I did pay $160 after s/h from Hong Kong.

I bet that's how much I also paid for Ursus. At that point in time, I didn't really care how much they were going for. I just needed some new apes. and i had a job in the slavemines so it didn't phase me.

Ouch. Those prices are getting hotter. I bought my Ursus, Captain and Soldier mint-boxed last July on Ebay, and paid a total of £246 delivered for the three figures. Still a lot of money for me, but well worth it.

Ursus and the Captain can be bought now on UK Ebay for £164.98 each delivered.

My Ursus is in its way coming soon!! US$178 plus US$50 for shipping it to Mexico...expensive!! and I want the soldier and captain too!!

I really love the Hot Toys Ursus. You will not be disappointed. I hope they make more apes--like chimps!!

How is your sculpting going?

Me too!
The last I heard, Hot Toys were not finished with the POTAs line...but that was about a year ago.
Im just hoping they dont forget to come back to it...and we DEFINITELY need some chimps now!
I need them right now actually!
I really wish Hot Toys were like sideshow and NECA etc in the way that they fully flesh out their licences.
For now, im going to get the Sideshow Cornelius and Zira.
 
With a new hairdo and paint job, the SIdeshow Zira is actually really lovely. Cornelius needs a better paint job as well. At least Zira has someone to cuddle with at the moment.

I'm never giving up hope that Hot Toys will make more apes. We are coming up to the 50th anniversary anyway...no matter how long it takes, I will wait. In the meantime, we can make our own apes for fun.
 
Digging through old photos...

Here's me before I put the wig on and before I have blended all the edges, sometime around 7 AM:

And me before I removed the makeup sometime after midnight. God it was a long day and I didn't have anything to eat except for protein shakes. (Didn't want to mess up the makeup on my teeth which were blacked out! It was Kryolan tooth black enamel. Apemania makes a better formula.)

Here's a friend wearing my first sculpt of Zira, before I knew what the heck I was supposed to do:

Agreed on points.
Im going to repaint the sideshow chimps and try my best to add "real hair"
so that they fit in better with my Hot Toys apes.
Still need to "make" a horse too...:gah: soooo many unfinished/not yet started projects!
That make-up looks brilliant by the way!
