I have too many TH-cam subs so I don’t always see your new episodes but I just wanted to take a sec and say, “I really dig your channel and your presentation skills. Keep making shows because you’re a valuable resource for us new guys to making custom Mego figs.” Keep showing us cool techniques and maybe demo some new products too. ✌🏼✊🏼
Really turned out great! Hope those Classic TV Toys vests hold up. Heard lots of horror stories about them falling apart. I have a bunch of the Dr Mego ape vests. Still holding up over 10 years later. I knew Dave too. He was a good friend. I worked with Dave on his 1/6 Starsky and Hutch project. Miss him too.
Yeah, that orange one for the custom I put together for Jspy fell apart in my hands. Dave was a very interesting soul and he is missed in the customizing community. =)
@@casualcrafter I had a blue General tunic that fell apart when I took it out of the baggie. Quite disappointing. But now that you've played guinea pig, I'll order one or two of the black tunics.
Going to finally make my first order from them now that they seem to have fixed the issue with Ape clothing. I am sure that I will be getting quite a bit from them. I would like to make an animated series version of the Ape’s and Astronaut’s and possibly the Underdwellers. Not sure what color to make their hooded robes. Maybe silver or blue?
This may sound random, but I'm about 7ish minutes in watching you show the heads. I've seen some doll customizers add hair to their customs. Have you ever thought about doing that with some of these apes so they have a furry look & feel to them? They look great at the end. Love that general's head.
I’m doing a custom BELE Star Trek figure playmates from let this be your last battlefield. I’m using acrylic paint. I’m a little worried. It’s Apple barrel. It’s never let me down before just once, but I don’t know the subject was right so any suggestions?
@@casualcrafter maybe I said this one wrong I bought a vintage playmates Star Trek figure and I’m going to paint that Star Trek figure nothing altered from the original figure
I just noticed the Beneath the Planet of the Ape's atomic bomb in the background. Very nice.
Thanks. =)
General Ursus or Urko that sideways glance is awesome.
Right?

Thank you, Ted. :)

These are great. and yeah the fabric looks way better.
Right? It drapes so well, and the textures are really neat.
Nice comparison of all the jackets, and customizing... That black jacket looks nice!
You should see it in person. It looks so good I'm ordering a couple of the plain black tunics.
@@casualcrafter 😞

Which underdwellers?

I have thought about doing something with flocking. That may be something I explore.
@@casualcrafter That sounds cool. Good luck if you choose to do it.
I bought CTVT apes suits in the last, and the gloves wore away straight out of the packaging. The same with the leather jackets they used to sell.
That stinks. I hope these last. =)
A lot better than the old 1974 Megos.
I don't know about better, but certainly different. I guess I have a nostalgic affection for the originals. =)

Is the head vinyl, a resin print, or a casting?
@ all original figure
@@Captaintoymantis So a resin print?

@@Captaintoymantis So, the head is made out of vinyl?
