So I just noticed that on the FFG Descent main page, there is a Master Blood Ape shown on what apears to be a 2x2 round base. Weird.

Yeah, it sure is. Must be an original concept design.

One which I wish they had kept, even if it would have made Leap insanely strong. The **** things barely stand up.

Neat. Good find.
I love the blood apes. I don't think I'm a very good OL but I can work the blood apes very well

but then they wouldnt be the tan surfers anymore, noooo
