With all due respect to the late Mr. McDowall, I don't trust his recollections on many things.  He said he couldn't remember making BATTLE at all!  Truth or B.S.?

I've closely studied pictures of McDowall in PLANET and the sequels, and I don't think it's the same sculpt, not even in ESCAPE.

I could be wrong, but I don't think so.  I'll study on it some more and report back later.

  I didn't know that only 500 have the gun, makes me laugh, I don't really care about

Just saw a new box set in MVC (Uk).

It is a box set of the original film (DVD) and the book ?

The it doesn’t say whether it is Monkey planet or an adaption of the film script. The cover looks like the anniverary artwork.

Anyone know more about thisrelease or have I missed a few
