www.aintitcool.com has what they say is the official plotline to the
remake on their site.  Read if you like . .

 

Well that storyline pretty much covers what's been said on the internet months ago. And I personaly think that Leo's  importance in the Battle is that he discovers that the genetic ape arrived centuries before him (Half buried ship) and therefore causing the whole problem on the planet.

 

Now whether it's earth or not, that still remains to be seen.

Because if I say it isn't earth as it's been said, then I can easly mean, the earth we know. So it all comes down towards how one looks at it.

 

Just a thought.

Well, I'm pretty much still in a state of shock over it, I just hope this guy isn't still around to place an article about the new remake.

I can see his article now: "Walhberg travels back in time to find planet dominated by humans!" "Oh the horror!"

 

I've just made the final draft to the intro.

I really do like this one a lot, I've always loved those space suits.

Greetings from Washington State!  Glad to have found others interested in POTA .  I am on a quest: For the last year I have been attempting to collect a full set of the Movie trading cards (AB&C Gum aka Topps UK) issued in the UK in 1969.  They are smaller than the U.S. and Canadian cards issued by Topps and have black borders rather than white.  I managed to locate 11 of these cards last year in England, but have not been able to locate more.  I am calling on the assistance of my fellow POTA collectors to help me assemble this rare set.  Also, I have been collecting POTA merchandise since 1974 and have cards and comics for sale or trade, most EX/NM condition. I prefer to trade rather than sell, as that is what the hobby is supposed to be about.   Sincerely, Bob.

Cool Brian,

You've just saved me the trouble of posting it on my site, great job!

And thanks for the info, I'm just getting the Taylor Astronaut, Nova, Ape-O-nauts, Conquest set and Lawgiver. Those are my favorite. I've got Nova and Zira Ape-o-naut being shipped as we speak. Can't ait to get 'em.

Best,

Alex

Yeah, Medicom has really outdone themselves with the line.  We don't usually bother to promote mainstream merchandise on the APEMANIA site, but these are just so incredible we felt it warranted noting and praise.  The packaging is cool too because when they are all laid out card-to-card the package art makes a montage mural.

The ZIRA Ape-O-Naut packaging is disappointing, though.  They put the helmet on her head before they seal the card.  For all we know she has no head at all!  I bet it's a plot to sell more figures because hard-core fans will buy twice as many just to bust open the package and pull the helmet off!

I posted the Lego-style KUBRICK's too <http://apemania.com/MEDICOM.htm> these are very cool as well.

Keep us posted as to any news of the release dates for the next batch.  You seem to be in-the-know, and I for one ape-preciate the efforts!

Brian

  Smith said he loved the original "Apes" and hopes for this to be "funny". He admitted to me trepidation about the remake but was impressed by the now famous teaser poster. When he found out who I was, he requested I not publicize the "Apes" parody. Sucker! No, he was really cool. He could have really nailed me, confiscated the camera, whatever. And I couldn't blame him these days. I got out there by his vehicles so it wasn't like I could drive away. I respect that, so I'm not going to put these pictures out there yet. I'm just as much a glutton for internet scoops as anyone, but I'm not going to throw stolen goods out there. Those "Ape" makeup tests are pretty poor compared to the "official" shots released recently and it's not really fair to the filmakers to grab something and eat away at their work little by little. If it's out there I won't ignore it, but I don't want to do spoil Kevin's surprise. He's a good guy. But there's no crime in giving a heads up to my pals here in the group, eh?

 

                                                                                                                  Best,       Jeff Krueger

 

Well, I fully agree with Jeff.

The only reason I posted these scoops on my site along with the makeups is because I figured that if these images are on the internet. These images would be best displayed on a POTA fan site like mine, Terry's or Brian's than someone elses site just trying to get hits off of their money making advertisement banners.

 

If the cats out of the bag, then the best we can do is promote the film as any POTA fan would. For what other choice do we as fan have? If they don't see them on our sites, there going to see them on someone elses.

 

Best,

 

Alex

Hey Alex,

There are actually 21 of the 6" figures (that I know of).  I forgot that
they did a limited run on a BROWN suit CORNELIUS with the first
editions.  One CORNELIUS in each case (24) was BROWN.
<http://apemania.com/MEDICOM.htm>

I don't know if they have done any other limited runs, but the two fotos
I've seen of the CONQUEST CAESAR show two different heads, one is the
same as the BATTLE CAESAR head, the other is unique to the CONQUEST
figure (holding the greasegun).

Brian

 

 

You mean this one?

It is pretty unique.

 

As for the article, I was't saying that it was the official makeup, but simply the fact that it was Bonham the actress "Behind the Makeup".

Therefore showing that it was the princess. As there were those who did question whether or not it was her.

 

Best,

Yup.  Some dealers also refer to it as the BLACK Cornelius.  You got yerself a keeper there.

Oh, sorry for this misconstruing.  Many make-up tests are done on models and stand-in actors so the bugs can be worked out long before gooping up the hi-dollar talent.  That foto may be of Carter in the make-up, but it also could be a test subject.  I'll have to confront some pal's for the truth...

I read some time ago that when ABC spliced the TV shows together to
make "movies" they added some specially filmed sequences of an
elderly Galen recounting his experiences.

Has anybody actually seen these sequences? and if so can you give me
more details.

Dave B.

I remember them VERY well.  The tv episodes with Roddy recreating his aged Galen as a host ran late-nite for a week on local tv station KTLA (Channel 5 in Los Angeles) in the late 70's/early 80's.  Like a tv horror host, Roddy (in the aged Galen mu) introduced each compiled tv movie every night from what looked like an old attic set, surrounded by all sorts of artifacts and goodies.  I do remember him (Galen) playing with a Mego astronaut doll during one of the clips.  The best thing about the whole week was the last night when host Galen concluded the festival by adding the commentary that his two human friends were eventually able to fix their spaceship and returned to their time.  So we finally had closure!!!

I also remember being very dissapointed in the make-up.  It looked (to me) like the hair was nothing more than crepe wool, so it was kind of cheezy.  As a kid, I remember feeling sorry for Roddy because it seemed to me that he must have needed money to do something so "beneath" his talent.  Show's how much I knew back then.  Roddy loved the apes and enjoyed playing the rolls.

I wouldn't mind seeing that footage again.  Has anyone ever tracked them down?

Brian

The only costumes that I have ever seen that never had the glyphs removed are Maurice Evan's original Zaius jacket (that one was only used in the first two films and then went into a private collection until it came our way last year) and Zaius' riding jacket from BENEATH, also still is intact.

Why don't you contact your ABC buddy anyway?  Can't hurt.

There is a lot of talk about different events for the new apes.  The POTA Interactive game is due to be released in the spring, so the APEMANIA cast may be doing a 3 city limited promotion tour for that, but there is quite a buzz, so who knows how much more is going to happen.

Keeping an eye on it is correct.

Great info there Dave, I'll be shore to keep an eye out on that one. Dark Horse is awesome, they make some pretty excellent graphics. I just hope they don't release the comic book before the film as they did with Phantom Menace. Although in the case of Phantom Menace the comic book was better than the movie.

 

hehehe!!

 

I couldn't imagine anyone waiting days in line to see Episode II. Although I know there will be.

The phone number listed inside the front cover of the guide has been disconnected,  no doubt due to an influx of calls after the release of the guide.  If anyone knows his E-Mail address,  that is good enough for me.   Thank you,  Bob.

I have heard that the ANSA Taylor, The Lawgiver, and Milo & Corn Ape-o-nauts have been released.  Ooooooooooh the joy!

 Hi Mike, our Aussie mate!

Since you are an ape memorabilia afficiando (sp?) , would you like to submit articles to Apemania's "Ye Old Toys and Goodies" pages like Chris has done?

Bob,I've gotta say, I am a very serious collector and I though Chris Sausville's book missed some very interesting items that I either own or have owned or know of.  Chris also paid a bit too much attention to t-shirts (full pages given to crappy, unauthorised designs!).  I was pleased to see such a book but I really thought it could have easily been much, much better without too much effort. The very best source for collectors is eBay.  If you are not aware of eBay, let me know and I'll get you started! Michael

Where did you get your Zira Ape-O-Naut?
I can't find an order page.

 

Personaly I got mine through e-bay.

You can go to justbetoys.com and so on but most of the time their out of stock.

So I just wait till they show up on e-bay under "buy it now". I hate wasting time.

 

Best,

I received a letter from a Mr. Yoshiyuki Tani of the Medicom Toy Corporation today and he stated that the reason we are not seeing a flood of their 6" Planet of the Apes and Kubrick figures here in the USA or the UK is because their licensing restrictions with FOX prohibit them selling/exporting outside of Japan. BUMMER!!! We here at Apemania know his pain and sympathize with him, because we have similar restrictions on our licensing agreements with Fox as well.

So it looks like we're stuck with eBay or the occassional dealer that makes the hop over to Japan for purchases.
 

I've enclosed a list here for MEDICOM dealers that have made extra efforts for me in the past.  They'd all love your business, so drop them a line, and  tell them Brian from APEMANIA.COM sent yah!!

<< The ZIRA Ape-O-Naut packaging is disappointing, though.  They put the
 helmet on her head before they seal the card.  For all we know she has
 no head at all!  I bet it's a plot to sell more figures because
 hard-core fans will buy twice as many just to bust open the package and
 pull the helmet off! >>

Yeah I have a friend who would love one of those lifesized Lawgiver statues
Brian offers, but his kinda Scotish with his dough.  I'll get 'em a Medicom
for his birthday.

Better grab them while you can.  I have a feeling they are going to be one of the hotter items.  After awhile they'll get so pricey, that you buddy might just as well be better off getting the full-size statue! (harhar)

Everyone,

Please remember that it was seven years ago, on January 30, 1994, that Pierre
Boulle died in Paris.

How about a moment of silence?  If it wasn't for him, what would we be
obsessed with?

Best wishes,
Rory Monteith

That sounds like a winner too me.

Cool.

 

Best,
