James Bond is really the first of the modern day movie franchises. The Corgi Aston Martin from Goldfinger is the longest running toy movie tie-in in history. The producers of the Bond films were teaching lessons that it took Hollywood another 20 years to learn.

POTA though was the first of the Hollywood franchises, the Bond films being produced in Europe. Arthur Jacobs really was a trailblazer in the respect. George Lucas took what Jacobs and the Bond film makers had done and brought it to a whole new level. And Hollywood hasn't been the same since.

Don't worry Mark, there are no plans to change the format of this group. (Unless the other Moderators have decided on something they haven't told me about ;-)

It is true that there are many questions that have been discussed many times here. However, one of the great things about new members is that they sometimes have a new take or outlook on an old topic that may never had been considered before.

While I know of no specific member who is "getting sick of answering old questions" as you put it. But to anyone that does should refer to the Group Guidelines (http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/pota/files/PostingGuidelines.htm), specifically:

If a topic or thread does not interest you please pass it by or start a new topic. Please do not put-down other members or try to shut down a thread because you are not interested in it.

As far as the UK live shows from the '70s, I'm sorry we have not been more helpful in digging up info on them, but it has not been for lack of trying.

Anyone who will be attending the February Comics Con in NYC, there will be a panel on the Mego re-issues with Dr. Mego (Paul Clarke) himself. If any member is planning to go maybe they can ask the good Doctor about the change in Zira's foot wear.

Wow! I can't believe how quickly Dr. Mego responded to this:

"The original Mego Zira had western female boots from a Dinah-Mite outfit (Mego's 8 inch Barbie) and it was going to cost a few thousand dollars to tool the Zira boots.  Since most of the boots are hidden by the skirt, we decided to use the Uhura boots in a light brown and put the money into tooling Dr.Zaius' boots instead."

I have mixed feelings about a standarized F.A.Q.

While it may be helpful to a list of questions have come up before, it might result in stifling new members (and maybe even some old members).

One of the goals of this group is to be a repository of POTA information in the Files Section, Photos Section, Links Section, Calendar or Database section. And the great thing is everyone is able to access and add to these resources. Plus there are even more resources available on other groups and websites (like Hunter's) that fans can consult.

I personally don't understand why fan would find it bothersome to answer another fan's question, even one that had been answered many times before. How hard is it to say, "Here's the answer and you can find more info on that subject on Hunter's site or an old issue of Simian Scrolls or that Timeline book written by what's his name", and then provide a link. Like Mark said most of the this info can be found by doing a Google search but it lacks the personal touch. And it is that personal touch that makes us a community rather than just an collection of individual fans.

Plus who is to decide on what the questions are and more importantly the answers? The great thing about this and other groups and message forums (like Forum of the Apes) is that everyone's voice can be heard. Would anyone really want a small group dictating the questions and the answers? Again that would just stifle newer members and fans.

Using the question you brought up as an example, the difference between 3978 and 3955. I have my own personal explaination for the difference. But who is to say that is the right interpetation. Others may have their own view. A new member may have a new explaination that none of us has never considered before. Would we really want to mute that because a small cadre of fans have already decided on a standardized answer?

Subject: [pota] MOTION PICTURE HOSPITAL CLOSING!

I just heard on the news that the Motion Picture Hospital, home of
Roddy's Garden and the Caesar Statue, is closing in 60 days... I wonder
what's going to happen to the garden. Sucks, it was a cool place to go.

So if they decided to do Armando using an old Kahn figure redressed, you guys wouldn't buy it?

Hey there are a lot of Star Trek/POTA crossovers. James Daly, Mark Lenard and William Windom all appeared in ST episodes. I think you can find someone who appeared in ST in almost every POTA film and most of the TV episodes.

It looks like it is a stove. But a wood or coal burning stove would need a chimney.

Any thoughts?

Only kidding but they are not available at present, could be quite

Will you be selling painted or unpainted.
If unpainted what paints are required ( i dont mean what colours, i

A lot of molds are some sort of silicon

so you can turn it inside out to release.

I'm sure there are sites for molding.  I

saw it on an episode of How It's Made

on the Discovery Channel.

There isn't much that Apes would need to actually cook since that don't eat meat

I had to LOL when I read this.  Scott, you're clearly not a vegetarian, right?

Like Cornelius and Zira, I don't eat meat either, but I cook ALL THE TIME.


Maybe Zira uses it to make a mean eggplant parmesan.  Or Cornelius uses it for his famous sauteed mushroom and rice burrito.  Or maybe.....well, you get the idea!

"Vegetarian" in no way means "doesn't cook."

If anybody is interested in purchasing a cast, it is available for $25 unpainted.  This includes shipping/handling (even for non-US residents).  The part of the neck which will accept the neckpost will need to be drilled out according to which figure you will use him for.  If you are interested, send me an e-mail.  If you want him painted, add an additional $45 since it takes me forever to paint one head to my satisfaction.  I am slowly going to make casts of the other apes I have sculpted available for purchase and will post as they become available.
