they've done that for several other items like this, they banned a headcrab hat, and im pretty sure a portal gun gun

Yeah, they'll probably ban it without even saying a word.

Heh, Ap-Sap...

Valve is just plain stupid now

There are two issues. First creative control within Valve, second is reusing materials from the games instead of creating something orriginal.

TF2, HL2 and Portal are made by different teams, and thus they have to pass it through the appropriate other team to allow such an item.

On the headcrab and portal gun, there likely wasn't enough modification, though. If the creator went with the original model imported from Portal or HL2 that definately wouldn't be allowed.

Why did they allow the Ap-Sap?

The Ap-Sap was an original work they didn't just take the Wheatly model from the game files and reskin the sapper, they acually made the model and animations, unlike this were they just took Glados' head from the Portal game files and put it on the Pyros head and called it original.

It really doesnt look like glados head 100%, In portal 2 her eye wasnt centered and didnt have cartoonish touches

Congrats Darktracer, you're a moron!
This is an original model and skin. If you have ever played portal 2 (that I doubt seriously) you'll see that the only similarity to the original glados head is the look of the front. This is under 1000 polys, original sure not, and the texture is absolutely diferent.
At least, please see an photo of glados in google, you'll look a little less moron.

I said in Portal 2 Glados's eye was not centered, it was more in the left area of the metalpiece.

And then, go to the oculist.
You might have a very minor case of serious myopia
