Kong!
« on: September 08, 2020, 07:29:20 PM »
I think we have all done it - the shiny new toy syndrome. I know I have and I have done it again but with a twist. One of my favorite Adventuring Companies/Leagues/whatever game you are playing is Lord Greystoke's: better known as Tarzan of the Apes. When I saw the advertisement for the new Giant Ape from Wizkids, I thought to myself, "Self, that would make an excellent addition as a Mangani (Great Ape) for Tarzan's team!" That'll teach me not to read the entire description including dimensions and size.

I think he looks excellent, the colours are natural looking and work well. At least it’s better than buying a miniature or set, opening it up and wondering where your money went. Good amount of ape to the pound  :)

Not what you intended but it looks great facing off against the Trex.
