You forgot barrel full of awesomeness! Really, what a great find, one of, if not the best thing I have seen on SB this year. I love how he is mostly ape with metal suit (i.e. space astronaute instead of mechanized simian). Great barrel-chest, you are right very T-28, and killer clunky feet. And the box art is just as phenomenal. Just wow. I walk and swing my arms in your honour Ape Man.
That ain't "very" T-28...that IS T-28! All the details are there...but what fascinates me is how they went and added the fur texture to the surface! Totally hilarious!
it could be just a trick of the light, but for me the best part is the subtle rib cage sculpting at the edges of his chest. it's really a brilliant repurposing of t-28. was this originally released to ride the coat tails of the planet of the apes?
Not sure sure if this came out at the same time as the planet of the apes, but i can tell you its a bootleg. Pretty sure it was my friend Josh Fraser who pointed out a tin version that was produced first. I might even have a picture some where.
