Here's my fig for Marcus, which is an entirely different fig than I was working on last time I spoke in here. That fig, a troll built off the Showdown Jugnuts, was blowing more goats than even Marcus deserves so I ran with some inspiration I'd had earlier and bashed the Papo Mutant Gorilla onto MU Beast. I like it so much I'm gonna get more gorillas and Beasts for myself. Too many monkeys that need figs. It's just an added bonus that I hope/think Marcus will like this fig more than a troll since we all know how much he loves "LASER BLAST" monkeys.

I've got a backstory that I'll be using for my version of this fig once I make my keeper. Marcus is welcome to keep or toss it as he likes.

The Gorilla sapiens species is heir to the same Celestial gene-tinkering we Humans bear, although the expression of superpowers isn't generally to as great a degree. All Gorilla sapiens have a low-level telepathy facilitating communication with non-Gorilla sapiens, enabling the hearers to hear their speech in their language.

The Swahili word for 'gorilla', "N'gagi", is a derivative of their own word for themselves, "Mngagn". The Mngagn isolate themselves in the various mountain ranges of mid- and -Southern Africa, although they only have one last remaining city, Ap Chak Rah, whose precise location is secret. Ap Chak Rah is hidden behind sophisticated invisibility shields. In millenia precious, other cities actually transformed themselves into starships capable of leaving Earth to explore the galaxy and found new Mngagn colonies.

This individual, named Oogra, is an outcast from Ap Chak Ra due to his criminal behavior and has wandering out into human society as a criminal henchman for hire. He is in occassional communication with other outcasts such as Grodd in the hopes of returning to Ap Chak Ra in triumph, but they are usually too combative amongst themselves to be productive.

Thanks, gents. Hopefully Marcus likes it when he gets it. I can see some paint scrapage that I'll need to fix, probably by filing at the yellow paint on the piping that the silver doesn't want to adhere to.

How well does this pic sell it?
