Excellent "quick sketches", Neil!

The sleeves makes it look cleaner, more POTA, more intelligent, but
the sleeve-less makes him look more savage/ ruthless. I think the
bandoleers on the inside make him look more intelligent, outside/more
ruthless. They're all good, so which ever one fits his personality,
I guess.

Great ape posture.

Needs one more thing - a glyph on his shirt, or his sleeve(s) or his
boots? What about a cigar? I can just hear Cougar groaning, now.
Even though Julius had a cigar (and no sleeves), it might be too
much, but maybe he should be a hard drinker, then.

I wouldn't mind seeing what Neil could do with the poncho (Like
Cougar suggested), since these are quick sketches, they probably
don't take anytime at all. ;)

I agree that it should LOOK POTA. If this idea takes off, I don't
think anyone wants to look back in a couple years and laugh at it, or
regard it as a joke. To error on the conservative side would
probably be best.

Cougar, how about the crossbow?

And how about the face of the regular Mego soldier ape for a
distinctive look?

I'm not saying adultify it.  That would cheapen it.

I'm not saying make an Ape slasher film, or an

Ape porno movie out of it.  There's no need for

gratuitous violence and sex.  Just shoot the

story in a realistic manner and let the chips

fall where they may.  Who knows?  It may

get a PG, or an NC-17.  That's the ratings

board's job.  But I think it'll be, given the

material, a good solid R.  Soften it a

bit for the comic book, but just make

it what it is.  I'd cut out the little jokes

and sight gags too.  It doesn't need

all the tension breakers.   It needs

to be tense!  Not some self parody.

Just make it a great movie.

Then it will be great!

But Ape clothes, well, I think they'd do better to use the hides of
horses who've outlived their prime. Cows, too. Where else did the
Apes get all that LEATHER, d'ya suppose? They made use of the hides
of animals. And they considered Man to be an animal, remember. When
Zira says, "I wonder how [Taylor]'d do on a Hopkins Manual Dexterity
test..." Zaius exclaims incredulously, "An ANIMAL???"

 

I think that leather was a prized commodity.  That's why the 

more important an Orang was the more glyphs he had.  It

was a status symbol, since they weren't raising cattle for

beef.  Like Lucias said, "Whaddya expect?  An Ape's new

suit?"  No doubt they were expensive.  They may have only

had a good one and an everyday one.  You may have noticed

that Zira's old jacket was nowhere to be seen in Escape.  It

was probably left behind in favor of her good one.  More likely

they just made new ones for that movie, but it makes a nice

backstory.

.html.html Helen has sent me the ugliest Sideshow figure, that gremlin thing from the TZ episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."  It was so ugly even Helen didn't want it.  Not sure what I'll do with it either.

By the way, the guy who created the makeup for this guy was not John Chambers, but William Tuttle, who won a Special Oscar for makeup just a few years before Chambers did for APES.

Anyway, thanks Helen!

.html.html I've created a file in the photo section of this group.  It's called "Save the Chimps" and in it are two aerial photos from the company I work for here in Ft. Lauderdale Florida.  About 90 miles north of us, near Ft. Pierce, a group called "Save the Chimps" is building a compound that when finished will be the home for nearly 300 hundred chimpanzees, former lab animals and those used in animal acts. (Who knows?  Maybe Baby Milo will live there.)

The company I work for has been documenting the construction of this site for about a year now and I thought I'd share it with you.

To learn more about "Save the Chimps" here's a link to their website:  http://www.savethechimps.org/about.asp

I also got mine yesterday (Tuesday) and watched the first episode
already. I honestly do not know how I missed these thinsg when they
were first on. I was a huge POTA fan as a kid (which was right when
the animated series was around)but somehow just never saw it!
Well, now that I have seen the first episode my collection is
complete. Yes, the animation is very basic and repetitive but I still
really enjoyed finally seeing "RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES".

One of the things that struck me about the DVDRs is that although
there is some print damage to the image, the colours are incredibly
vibrant. Fantastic!

I'm spacing out watching them, hoping to strech out the enjoyment of
finally seeing this show.

A thousand thanks to Hunter for the great job he has done (again)
and thanks as well to Terry for sending them out.

I'm off to watch episode 2 and can't wait!

I would glady join in a group donation. I have been giving to the
Gorilla Foundation that works with Koko the gorilla that knows sign
language for years. They have been working on the same kind of

maybe a gorilla in a tu-tu with a slingshot.  I'm leaning toward the
coat right now.

I've harnessed my negative traits.

the weight loss.  I can only not eat for

so long.  Then the blood sugar drops

and I get dizzy and then junk food is

flying.  I'd have to be starving to really

nothing but veggies in huge quantities.

Must be my physiology.  Thyroid maybe.

Does anyone know what the Hopkins Manual Dexterity Test that Zira

Is it the same as the test she was given to do by Dr Dixon in ESCAPE?
If so, it is a nice ironic touch by Paul Dehn.

Rory,

It's about time you shared what you've been up to! The pictures are
great.

I think I read about this in my search for Baby Milo. I notice
there is a link on their site to the Chimp Collaboratory. I'm
assuming they are affiliated? There was a woman named Sarah from
the Chimp Collaboratory who was quite helpful in my search for Baby
Milo -- although I still have come up with nothing.

What was your involvement in the project? Have you actually visited
the site? When do they expect to be full capacity? Do you know if
they have plans for more chimps after the Alamagordo chimps are in
place?

Thanks for sharing this. I would love to contribute to a donation
from POTA fans, especially in the name of our own Baby Milo, if
someone pulls this together. I think it would be a nice gesture and
a tangible statement of appreciation for one Great Ape that we all
know in common.

Helen,
Sorry to hear about James. I guess a lot happens when in

then I can spend as long as I want on the net and, of course, with
you guys.

Yeah, it's hard not to be an ape fan. Once bitten, you are one for
life.

I haven't read this extensively but Alamagordo chimps have been

You got that right.  It fell by the wayside in the teen years.

But in my thirties it came back with a vengeance.  It's one

habit I can't break.  I try to keep it at bay, by not surfing

the POTA and Kim Hunter sections on eBay.  If I did that

I'd be broke in a room full of memorabilia, which I am,

practically anyway.  Should I win the lotto, first thing I

do would be to get a warehouse for all the stuff I'd buy.

I was in a toy shop with two of my kids today and noticed all the
different themes you can get Monopoly as these days.
They had Lord of the Rings, Simpsons, Star Wars and even Kiss
Monopoly! You name it they probably have it!

Of course the one they didn't have was a Planet of the Apes version.
This got me wondering whether we could come up with some ideas for
one on this group. What place names could there be? Would there even
be enough to fill up the board? What would the playing pieces be?
Any ideas?

There's no need for APES Monopoly... Monopoly is still just Monopoly, no matter who's on the board... Having APES on it doesn't make it any better or worse, it's still the same old game... I'd hate to see APES on a Monopoly board just because "everything else has a version of it." Having the APES name on some item just for the sake of having it on there is pointless... It makes about as much sense as the APES parachute figures from AHI... There's no connection between the game and APES, so to combine the two is just nuts...

I disagree. First, I love Monolopy. Second, I don't love every
version of Monolopy that's out there. Third, it's a bit of an honor
to have someone think enough of a subject to put it on a Monolopy
Board. Fourth, it's fun to think about what could be on the board.
Fifth, "Whatever.."

I'm game...

What about the firey wall, cavernous pit illusion?

Parker Bros. (or whoever owns them now) has gone way overboard with
their specialized versions of Monopoly. The first one or two ("Star
Wars") were really cool---and unusual. Now they've put out dozens of
special versions, and it's just become an obvious grab for money from
suckers. (Yes, I realize that that's what selling the games has
always been about, but they're completely diluting the novelty. I
bought the "Star Wars" version when it came out, then the "Disney"
version, but I'll never buy another one, even if they were to release
an "Apes" version.

OK, Hunter... (My ape-ologies to Cougar.) (Sheesh!) We live out
here in the middle of nowhere and the only Monolopy games I've ever
seen are the Disney games (for kids-- which are fun to play and use
smaller bills) and specialty games (designed as fund raisers for the
local Chamber of Commerce). I wouldn't buy a Star Wars Monopoly
game if you paid me. But, seriously, what other versions of the
Monopoly games are there?

I really do love Monopoly. (Takes me back to the days when we would
have a game going all summer, everyone would cheat, trade stuff to
keep the game going, etc.)

I would buy an Apes Monopoly and probably also get three or four
from family and friends as Christmas gifts. ;)

Cougar, that thing doesn't look ANY thing like chutes and ladders.
It doesn't look that exciting either, though.

I more or less agree with the people poo-pooing the Monopoly idea,
somewhat because I think it's kind of a >yawn< boring game. Though,
maybe POTA would make it less so. If it was out there though, I
might buy it since I don't own any version of the game.

So, what about an original game? I always thought that a POTA
game "somewhat based on" LIFE would be cool. Choosing what path to
go down, gorilla betting on how many humans they'll kill in the next
hunt(lottery). Might have to get more complicated than that if
players are able to pick a species - can't have a chimp join the army
and such.

So Greg...... where is the matching disc artwork??

"The Amazing Saga of a world that Evolution has Cursed"
I haven't heard that before, did you make that up yourself, Greg?
That's pretty cool.

It's already been said, but it's cool to see these pieced together.
Glad you're doing this, Neil.

Hunter, what are the differences/benefits between a Word doc and
a .pdf file? I noticed that you and Greg use the .pdf format quite a
bit and figure there has to be an advantage.
