Winson Ma - Diamond Previews Exclusive Adam Ape Giveaway

Cloaked in black with gold accents, the Diamond Previews Exclusive Adam Ape figure (500 pcs) from HK artist Winson Ma and Play Imaginative is the dark counterpart to the red original colorway.  Best known for his incredible 1:6 scale figures created as part of the legendary Brothersfree and now for his own Winson Classic Creation, Winson Ma created Adam Ape, his first vinyl figure, as a counterpart to his hyper-detailed 1:6 Apexplorers line.

While Adam Ape's encounter suit marks  his identity as an intrepid explorer, his airbrush and mini-ape accessory reveal his creative side.  Winson's design mixes his love of intricate detail with a menacing yet comical ape character with an expressive face.
