Keith Poon goes ape with his new Heavy Bramble customs

It's been a bit since we've heard from Keith Poon, but he's just sent along info about his newest custom creation, the WWRp Heavy Ape Bramble. Limited to 12 pieces, Keith has taken inspiration from Planet of the Apes to create a simian warrior wielding a rocket launcher. The customs use a Tim Tsui ape head keychain with a helmet sculpted over it, then fitted onto a WWRp Heavy Bramble body. The eye is also changed to a red Swarovski crystal, too, just for that last touch. Then the entire thing has been painted to look like it came from the Planet of the Apes film, and as a whole, I think there's a nice resemblance.

If you like the look, you can pick up an Ape Bramble from ToyQube on Wednesday at noon Eastern (9 a.m. Pacific, 4 p.m. GMT, 5 p.m. British Summer Time) for US$329.99 each. It's certainly one of the more interesting customs made from a ThreeA Heavy Bramble I've seen so far; do you feel the same?

Meet Davidkraig at Kidrobot NY's May 18 customizing event

Want to come check out some live customizing and meet artist Davidkraig? If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan).  As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure. But you've seen his work before, and I assume he'll be sculpting out/painting something just as impressive for the event.
