The last three figures, KRULL, COMMANDER, and the Space Chimp with pod (hell
of a complex name) are at this web site.

Just type "Planet of the Apes" and you'll see them. Two pages worth of
figures.

Welcome to the group, Ryan. I hope the new layout for tthe website is coming
along nicely, and I hope it'll look great!

Again, welcome!

I picked up a set of these off eBay a few weeks ago. I got a pretty decent
deal, only about $10 per figure. Overall, I like these figures in a goofy
sort of way. Like most of Hasbro's products, they could have been better but
for whatever reason they appeal to me. I may post a review with pics one of
these days.

Interesting... which dictionary are you getting that from? Mine
(Webster's) has only the first definition. In any case, I'm sure they're
using the "of or relating to time" definition on the site, as "temporary
research" makes no sense. POTA is a time-travel film, and so the term
"temporal" would most make sense in referring to time. But, obviously,
it's open to interpretation if you want to view it the other way.

Sorry, no sneak peeks on the DVD features. I'm still dealing with this XP and haven't been able to capture video because my Video Capturer is not compliant with XP.

You too?  Not only is my Monster 3D vid card I had in my old machine not XP compatable (no surprise there) My new scanner that I just bought last spring isn't either, and doesn't look like it ever will be.  Think about it.  What better way to make you buy new peripherals?  I'm luck it has a driver for my old Epson printer.  Too bad that's the one thing it does work with.  It hasn't printed Yellow for a long time and I could have used a new one.  Damn you Bill Gates!  Damn you all to Hell!

Can anyone refresh my memory on how to sign BACK-ON to the group?  We signed off during the Halloween rush because of our overload of client e-mails.  Now I can figure out how to get back on.  Any help (Caesar) would be greatly ape-preciated.

Anyhoo,  don't know if anyone has heard yet, but Medicom has plans to release the Ape figures in the USA through Diamond comics next year.  They are repackaging and reworking a few of the characters for this US release.  They should retail for $9.99.

Also, the guys over at SOTA effects group have secured a license with Fox to produce a line of collectible resin busts (finished) of the classic apes.  I've been told there will be a dozen or so characters in 6 inch forms.  I've seen one prototype and they look to be nice.

So get your piggy banks ready, some good stuff is headed our way!!!

I was at my local library the other day and was pleasently surprised to find
a copy of Joe Russo's POTA: Revisted on the Non-Fiction New Arrivals shelf. I
had no need to check it out since I already owned a copy, but hopefully some
other unsuspecting people will stumble across it, check it out and discover
this epic saga.

Dark Horse Comics' PotA comics so far have all been mediocre at best. None
of them are as good as Marvel's, and to be honest they're not even as
enjoyable as Adventure's series.

I'll be honest, I don't think you've got a chance of seeing it published as
an officially-licenced product... but then we have someone else in this

PotA novel published I suspect!

Not all good - the number of people crawling out of the woodwork selling
PotA merchandise at overinflated prices isn't exactly a side effect of the
new film that I find all that beneficial.

It makes sense if you accept the explanation of Thade's revolt to start
with. As soon as he's won his battle, he'd want to make his mark on the
previously-human world by reworking key images in his image. He'd probably
just get someone else to resculpt his face onto Lincoln's head.

I just saw the commercial during "Law and Order: Crimal Intent."  Looks to me as if Fox is trying more to sell the DVD as the most technologically advanced "on the planet," and not so much the movie.  It's kind of embarrassing, I think.  Poor POTA.

320 LightYears from Earth on an unnamed planet in
orbit around a star in the constellation of Orion". Divide 320 by 4.34
and then multiply by 115 and you get 8479.26 "retro-days". Divide
8479.26 by 365.2422 and you get 23.215 "retro-years". Since noon of 25
November 3978 (a 365-day year) is exactly 9/10ths through the year,
subtract 23.215 from 3978.90 and you get 3955.685! In other words, if
the same sort of thing that happens to Virdon's ship (zipping "x"
number of LightYears in "y" number of "retro-temporal days") also
happens to Taylor's ship, then the actual EARTH-TIME date that Taylor
arrives is about the 251st day of 3955.

Not that I don't have the same problem but . . . Dude! You think too much.

Same game, different formats.

I thought it was really enjoyable, however it did strike me as a somewhat
inferior version of the Tomb Raider games. The puzzles were not particularly
challenging but some of the landscapes were reasonably cool. The voices
could have been better - they appeared to hire some "voice" actors instead
of "proper" actors and it just sounded cheap.

As for a sequel, I can't see it happening. The game sneaked onto shelves
without much of a fanfare, it's been years in development and nearly didn't
make it out at all, and the reviews have not been particularly good. I'd
like a sequel but I think it's unlikely - they'd also have to put a bit more
work into the puzzle side of things.

And the winner is....
Harry Potter! 95.5 million weekend.

Not entirely unexpected.  I was glad we lasted this long.
At least Monsters Inc. didn't take Apes down.
If you gotta go, go in a big way.

Hey! The voices were done by a friend of mine. Watch it!

Yes, the games are getting zero fanfare. I have literally never seen it on
a store shelf. And believe me, I've looked. Toys R Us had them advertised on
sale and when I got there they weren't out and someone had to go to the back
room to get one. Even this weekend when the DVD is being prominently
advertised no ads mention the game. Maybe stores got burned by the toys and
aren't bothering (if anyone has seen the 2nd wave of toys in a REAL store
let us know!). - - - Jeff

No, the press said a SERIES of games. But maybe not after the reception
of this one (unless they call it "Harry Potter vs. the POTA").

Lynne, you always seem to be in a state of unpacking that never gets done.  Why don't you get things settled!!   Settle down, Lynne!  Make a nest!!  It's the nonhuman great ape thing to do!

Nice of you to say it, Lynne.  I always enjoy your posts. I only wish there were more of them. I hope you splitters who sign up for this group and then want to bail when get a dozen two line emails stuck around long enough to read this.  Some of us live for this.  I'll sift through a hundred lame emails for just one juicy ape tidbit!

I read the games box at Circuit City, but I didn't buy it because I'm just not into playing computer games -- rather read a good book or watch a good movie.  Anyway, I think the reason this is getting no fanfare is because it was started before the new movie got made, and now that the new POTA is out, Fox wants us to put Classic Apes up on the shelf someplace.

Dude!

Can you check "The Interrogation" for Bill Blake's scene? Galen and Virdon
steal a cart and abandon it to visit Galen's mom. The cart is Bill Blake's
(who plays a chimp) and he's questioned about it. I think it's half-way
through the episode. Are there really 16 chapter stops?
Thanks.
