Some details on the figures, and WIP shots. Here is the Space Chimp in a mostly complete stage (but before the decals he has in the scene itself):
I think I explained somewhere how I started out with this being just a prop - I was going to sculpt a space suit look onto a Schleich ape exclusively for a bit of a space chimp joke about Chief, which Silent Master put me up to. I wasn't happy with the result, and ended up making this figure. He talks, so he's not simply an ape, but more of a mutant. Now is one of my favorite figures.
In the story he identified himself as Captain Jungleboots. To explain the weird name, I will disclose only that my son used to play a lot of "Monkey Quest" and that one of his main characters was named Gogo Jungleboots. Nuff said.
Oh, and here's a WIP shot:
Yup, that's a Bilbo Baggins body with a sculpted over Gollum head.
