Hey All!

The new comic is heating up and we want feedback!

I will be choosing one contributor to receive a copy of the printed
comic - Beware the Beast (yes, the printed version has bonus pages
not available anywhere else!).

To win this prize, simply read the strip and comment/speculate!

Michael

Yea, Moe. My thoughts exactly. If one has been printed, there must
be others. Are they or will they be available?

It is interesting to note that the english translation of this novel was done by the same person that did Planet: Xan Fielding.

The "Time out of Mind" collection is also SF.

This make's no sense.

Like Jonathan Swift's Gulliver among the Houyhnhnms and Yahoos -- intelligent horses and debased subhumans -- our hero comes to identify with his captors rather than fellow-inmates. Apes in clothes look natural and "right", while humans are animals who go naked. Although the most famous line of the movie is Charlton Heston's "Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape," Merou and the female chimpanzee scientist who befriends him come very close, in the book, to parting with a kiss. At the last instant it's she who pushes him away:

"Oh darling, it's impossible. It's a shame, but I can't, I can't. You are really too unattractive!"

 

Sounds like this was written without the author having seen the movie.  Speaking of The Kiss I saw someone wearing the T-Shirt on that show where people compete to get on Oz-Fest.

It started as a quest to gather the best sources I could find,
reassembling them as best I could.

In the end, I had six sources to choose from. Fortunately, Mike
Rogers had taped the *unedited* cartoons off WPIX. When Sci-Fi
broadcast the 'toons, they edited out about four minutes from each
episode. In the end, Mike's tapes were the best sources I could find
(in about 10 months of searching). WPIX had broadcast all of the
episodes save one without the opening sequence and closing credits.
I restored those to each episode, cleaned up the audio pretty
dramatically, and authored two DVDs to contain all 13 episodes,
complete with menus.

http://www.goatley.com/hunter/dvd/toons/

Terry is spearheading the distribution of these. If you want to buy
blank DVD-Rs, you can send them to Terry along with return postage and
get a copy. If you don't want to buy your own blanks, Terry is
offering them at about cost for blank DVD-Rs and postage. The goal
here is not for Terry to make money off these, but simply to cover his
costs.

To all our recently joined new members - welcome!
Please feel free to jump in and contribute if a subject takes your
fancy, or start one up yourself!

MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE HOMEPAGE AND READ THE NEW PLANET OF THE APES
COMIC BOOK - BEWARE THE BEAST!!!

Go to the homepage, scroll down to around the middle of the page and
click on the link underneath the colourful logo....this will take
you to the internal site where you can go to earlier chapters by
clicking on the menu at top of the images.

We have recently started a new comic strip called WITHIN THE PLANET
OF THE APES which can be found in the files section of the group or
you can just click on the handy link on the Home Page to view the
latest and previous chapters!

Don't forget we also have 3 other groups 'attached' to the main one.

First up there is the DG Archives group:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGrouparchives/
This group was created to store old posts from the group which have
been deleted from the main site. we have to do this periodically to
free up space as Yahoo does not allot much space to the groups
anymore.
As this group is so active we tend to fill up very quickly and
instead of losing old posts forever we like to keep a copy of them
all. They can be found in the Files section listed by month and
year .


There is also the DG Fan Fiction group where members can place, in
the group's Files section, their Fan Fiction stories, poems etc. to
be enjoyed by all:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGroupfanfiction/


Finally there's the Photos group:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDiscussionGroupphotos/
Where photos are very occasionally moved to save space on the main
DG group

All the sites can be easily accessed via the links on each one's
Home Page.

And don't forget to check out the DG group's vast Photos section and
all that great stuff in the Files section. While you're here why not
participate in a Poll or check out all those wonderful links and
generally have a fun filled family experience!

I had already forgotten about doing that! Actually, I was able to
take the audio from the closing credits from one of Greg P.'s Sci-Fi
tapes and use it to replace the music-with-voiceover track.
*Fortunately*, Greg's tapes were recorded before Sci-Fi ran voiceovers
over all of their closing credits. In addition to cleaning up the
audio by removing tape hiss (and there was a quite a bit of it, on
both sources---no surprise given the age of the tapes), I had to
synchronize it to the video. Of course, you can't really tell that
it's synched, because there's no dialogue or sound effects, but it is
synched so it plays out exactly (literally down to the hundredth of a
second) as the original track.

Has anyone else received their first Sideshow figure
yet? The Exclusive Dr. Zaius (in the riding gear) was
waiting for me at my front door today. Nice
packaging...although, Rory, they do have an outline of
Liberty! (Although not the 30th anniversary
graphics....) All the pics on the box are from the
first movie and are all of Mr. Evans. They are in
window boxes much like the Bond figures....with a bit
of velcro keeping it closed. Inside......the figure is
very sharp and well done. He comes with a walking
stick , three scrolls and a scroll holder thingy. And
a stand to hold him up. I want to open it up so bad!
But it obviously just came off the production line and
straight into the packing box....I can almost still
smell the fresh ink! Hopefully these will be available
at stores eventually so I can get a set to open up. I
will try and take some pics and post them......
Can't wait for the rest!

Here is Sideshow exclusive Zaius...

Hi Tim,

Thanks for this!

I have been wondering about the packaging.....this looks fantastic!

Anyway, I'm hanging around the mailbox at the moment waiting for my
xmas present....Chris Hight's original Gideon Action Figure!

I haven't gotten mine yet, but that's because I had it delivered to my Sister's house (I live in an apartment and work, there's always someone home at my Sister's).  I'll be going over there on Sunday.

Anyway, I don't mind if they have the Statue of Liberty on the box.  What I want to know now is when will the other figures arrive?

It only works if very FEW people keep them sealed - therefore making

These aren't going to be worth big bucks someday. Everyone's a
collector
now and there will be plenty in the box. Ebay has cheapened everything.
It's
not like the '70's when toys were for kids and only rarely did something
remain in the package. Open it, enjoy it. Life is short. - - - Jeff

I'll do the same Michael.....Don't know why but that's
what's gonna happen..
.I got a notice from Sideshow the other day saying
Zaius was on his way and that Zira, Cornelius, Taylor
and Gorilla were on back order so I guess they will be
coming in January. Wondering about regular Zaius. I
had to order mine from amoktime cause sideshow had
sold out....maybe I'll get in touch with them...hadn't

I know this was mentioned somewhere but I can't recall where now so I'll
just ask again. Wasn't there a mention of downloadable artwork for the
RETURN DVDs? If so, are there going to be one or two different covers? I
could see some people putting them in single disc cases and others using
two disc cases (which would actually mean three different covers since
one for a two disc set would contain all the episode titles). Someone
clue me in here.

I've always wondered what happened to Lucius years after the events of PotA and Beneath. Could his short time in the ruins with Cornelius and the rest of the gang have inspired him to become a budding young assistant archeologist? Blowing up that cliffside cave didn't necessarily obliterate the evidence of an earlier human settlement. It just made it a bit harder to get to.
So perhaps Dr. Gavron was a little more intellectual than Dr. Zauis and decided he wanted to know the truth. Who better to recruit than Lucius, who (a) knows where the original ruins were located, and (b) was not afraid of authority and would certainly help out.

My 2.5 cents.

.html.html Well, I've got my Dr. Zaius figure and I have to report that I'm very disappointed with it.  In fact, I think it sucks!

The sculpt for the Zaius head is bad.  They have these tuffs of hair on his checks that just shouldn't be there.  Also, on the one I've received the paint job on the head is bad, and in fact one eye is messed up and covered with paint for the flesh.

Also, his jacket is too larger and doesn't look right.  They got the glyph on the back of his gloves right, but they didn't put the glyph on his boots.

With shipping I paid $52.61 for this and I just don't think it's worth it.  I've already started the process of returning it to Sideshow for a refund.  The figure is made in China and they need to see what a bad job they're doing.

Now, I'm not really sure I want the other figures.  I might just cancel all my pre-orders and just go with the Lawgiver figure.

The only hint we have about Lucius after "Planet" is in the "Beneath"
comic book adaptation (Marvel's, I think, though "Beneath" is the only
one
to get 2 comic adaptations; er, 3 if you count the book and record

It has the opening of "Planet" being recounted by Lucius, as though he
became a historian or something. A radical historian. - - - Jeff

__________________________________

Studio protoype pics usually look better anyhow, but I guess that goes
for most products. There may be a chance that the other Zaius could
have some slight differences paint-application wise. I've heard that
the Hellboy Kronenen Sideshow figures varied on sculpt and paint apps
of the heads.

Secondly, I wish I caught that Salma appearance....

I just printed the comic, and wow!

It's like a time-capsule itself.  If it

weren't for the laptops and cell

phones you'd think it fell out of a

wormhole to the 70s.  I'm going

to have to copy page 2 on the

back of page 1 so I can read it

like a real comic book.

If you're lucky. The carded Megos are rare because few people
*didn't* open them back then. So many people collect these things
today and never open that I don't think they'll ever be worth big
bucks. (And forget "worth" big bucks: they *cost* big bucks now,
which is why I'm not buying them. I didn't buy any of the Medicoms
until I could find them for $10 or less.)

I don't care about that. I want to pose the thing and display it and

Yep!!

I actually sold mine in a lot with a bunch of Alien figures. I

> People won't touch it if it don't make money!

The value of the lousy Hasbros dropped dramatically when the Medicoms
came out. That's because the Hasbros sucked major lemons. And the
7-inch (or whatever) Hasbro figures were even worse ("Cat People").

I'm sure I'm not the only one who won't buy something unless it
*looks* good. Just 'cause PotA is slapped on it doesn't mean I'll buy
it. At least not until it hits around $1.

Anyone who cares about their privacy may want to read the following
message supplied by our friend Mez who owns the Friends & Fugitives
TV site (http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/friends_and_fugitives/)


Everyone,

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo
Group users around the net and see what you're doing and where you
are going similar to cookies. Yahoo is recording every website and
every group you visit.

Take a look at their updated privacy statement:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will
see a link that says "web beacons". Click on the phrase "web
beacons". That will bring you to a paragraph entitled "Outside the
Yahoo Network." In this section you'll see a little "click here to
opt out" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new method of
snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted. Notice
the "Success" message on the top of the next page. Be careful
because once you opt out, on that page there will be a "Cancel Opt-
out" button that, if clicked, will *undo* your opt-out.

Feel free to forward this to other groups.

/Mez

Part of me is glad of that - as much as I would have liked these figures I
have avoided them because they're just too damn expensive for something that
would ultimately be most likely to end up sitting in a cupboard gathering
dust anyway. At least if they're not up to much I might be able to pick them
up cheap later!

-- Good thinking Alan! I must admit I have also avoided these
because of the price.

You ought to pat Mr. Goatley on the back. He took my tape soucre and
improved the sound quality and I think (although this might just be a result
of the DVD conversion) improved the color stability.

What you get when you get these DVD's will be like a very good old fashioned
film chain broadcast. It will have the look of a syndicated rerun of older
shows the way they did them on local stations in the 70's and 80's. That's
because the source came from film chain 80's broadcasts but it's nice to see
it preserved and slightly enhanced for the DVD's.

I'm sorry Rory that you are disappointed

Perhaps I'm just to picky, but it should be better for what they charge.

Luckily the pictures of Zira and Cornelius look pretty good, The gorillas have problems (no fur neck collars) and the two Taylor figures aren't exactly dead ringers for Chuck.

For once I think I was too hasty with the "sucks" judgment.  I was just pissed off because one of the eyes was messed up.

While I still think it could have done better -- especially for the cost -- it's not a disaster.  It's a hell of a lot better than the Hasbro one.

What I need to decide is do I really want it.  Perhaps I'll like the one in the other outfit better.

.html.html I wish I had a digital camera so I could show you all the Sideshow Dr. Zaius figure standing beside my Sideshow figure of Gwyllm Griffiths.  Two from John Chambers.

Are there any of you wondering who Gwyllm Griffiths is?

-- Rory<.html<.html

Um...yes.....

That reminds me - I am yet to watch Season 1 of The Outer Limits that I
bought on DVD.

Is it any good Rory?

Excellent.  "The Sixth Finger" is one of the better episodes.  Why don't you watch it tonight and give me your opinion.

I'll be waiting.

bound in as well I think I have at least two issues that still have

The comics are hard enough to find without the posters and cards
even down here in Australia!

OK - you didn't tell me yours had posters and cards Neil!

Get scanning buddy!

only 2 (I think) with the cards still in them.

-- Will do, could be a little while though as I have to get
into 'the vault' and unseal them. ;-)
When I have I will upload them to the files section and let you know.

.html.html Whitty and Foster...

I am glad to see your strip is finally coming into it's own... The first couple chapters (where they were doing the digging) I wasn't too impressed with where I thought the story was going to go... (And I was thinking it was gonna go the way of "cheap jokes" when they found the Monkees LP...) But, once it got to Ape City, that's when it started picking up steam... Neil's art work vastly improved, and Whitty, your story is getting better as it goes along... After a "shaky start", it's getting to be APES...Keep up the good work, and don't go the way of ADVENTURE comics!!!<.html<.html

.html.html To anyone that is waiting to get their DVDs, when you get them, you will be pleased. They're the best we're probably ever going to see until/unless FOX sees fit to do an "official release" on these... And, in my opinion, the improved audio has to be the biggest plus...<.html<.html
