Planet of the Apes on CUUSOO

CUUSOO link
Planet of the Apes is a classic movie as well as television series and also the name of the reboot film.

Here is the inspiration for making a Lego Planet of the Apes set:
70008 Gorzan’s Gorilla Striker and 70110 Tower Target.
Thse are Lego Chima sets to be released in Summer 2013.
The gorilla minifigures are nice and are the model for the Planet of the Apes characters. I’ve extracted some screenshots out of Youtube set reviews:

Here is a good page to extract paintings for gorilla, chimp and orangutan minifigs: Non-Lego PotA toys

 

In the minifigure series there are two other parts are of importance:

This could be the little Caesar (classic movie 3), and that may be the big gorilla from „Prevolution“ (although big doesn’t really fit).

Detective Conan on CUUSOO

Detective Conan would make for a great Lego playset. You can help achieving this:

Next, I’d like to enhance hair and faces.

A great palette of hairs can be extracted from the Minifigure Collector Series. See the post Minifigure Collector Series to see great alternatives for hair pieces.

Then custom faces were great but on the other hand are not that popular concerning CUUSOO review. I’ll look for better faces anyway.

The image above is a LDD screenshot with title, wall and an ad hoc shadow. A LDD2Pov render image is a lot better and is in production.

I just found out that one can replace decals with custom images. Although not visible Shinichi has a custom PNG as face. The next step is producing manga minifig faces.

I rendered Mori’s Detective Agency with LDD2Pov and made that the central point of the project:
