.htmlSpeaking of slightly off topic SF conventions. It looks like I'll be
going to another WC soon. It appears that my former hometown of Montreal
(which I end up visiting every month or so any how), has just won the
bid to host the 2009 World Science Fiction convention. Looks like I'll
be doing do my POTA T-shirt routine once again.
Now I've got to figure out how to get to Denver in 2008 to fill the void
in the mean time...

That’s a good point Neil.
Usually the artwork comes from photos etc provided by FOX.
Maybe these guys just picked up a comic at
the local news-stand?
Or maybe marvel had something to do with

Of course, Rory knows! The ape jumpsuits in CONQUEST were cheap Western Costume Company knockoffs of the jumpsuits worn by the crew of the Seaview starting with the second season of "Voyage To The Bottom Of
The Sea" (1964-68). On the TV show the jumpsuits had a belt at the waist and this isn't present on the CONQUEST ape jumpsuits, hence you can tell they used the same basic pattern in making them but
skipped the belt.

Luciano Pavarotti, the superstar tenor, has
died of cancer. Though not a benchmark in either of their careers, Franklin
Schaffner directed Pavarotti in the ill conceived 1982 flick "Yes, Giorgio", an
attempt to turn Pavarotti into a movie star. It was a notorious flop that ended
Schaffner's career on a sour note (though his last movie, "Welcome Home",
starred POTA2001's Kris Kristofferson). Jeff

Another "WC"? By "WC" you mean "World Con" right? Cuz those initials

It should be good.
Diamond select being a sister company to Diamond comic distributors means that most comic shops should be able to order with ease.
The retro star Trek line they do based on Mego is pretty good.

Should be interesting to see what they release.

I doubt it will happen but I'm hoping for figures never made by mego.
Taylor would be great, a good quality made Caesar, the list can really go on
& on, but i would think its going to depend on the sales of series
one.

*** These figures, just like the Star Trek figures they're reissuing are going to pretty much be the same as the MEGO figures. There will probably NOT be any new characters made until they're done
reissuing the first one, and that may take awhile, as they are depending on sales...
Should sales of these go thru the roof, then we "might" get a few new figures made, but do NOT count on it! ***

If they are anything like the original Megos
I couldn't care less. I never bought the
originals because they looked so bad
and I'm in no hurry to add them to

The Kirk and the Klingon are just the first two.
Next up is Spock and an Andorian released end of November, followed by McCoy and a Romulan at the end of Jan' 2008.
So they're not rushing the launch, which I don't think is a bad thing, I assume they'll take the cautious approach with POTA as well.

In the picture it looks more like a table placemat since the edges
have a see through margin.

.htmlit looks that all of the releases feature a marquee character (Kirk,
Spock, McCoy) and then a lesser, generic character. So I would expect
the same for POTA.
Zaius - soldier
Zira - ???
Cornelius - ???
Taylor - ???
Ursus - ???
Just my 2 cents. Looks like they's gonna be $20 a pop.
For some reason the Mego always escaped me as a kid. I knew about
them, but never had one myself nor do I recall any of my friends ever
having any.
They are not the greatest looking, but I confess that I've always
considered getting a few so I'm more likely than not to get some of
these when they come out.

They certainly have a nostalgic appeal.
I did have most as a kid.
I'm not a Startrek fan at all but I'll probably pick up the ST retro figures because ... well, I had a Kirk as a kid. (He got his hair painted yellow and was converted into a
Virdon before the real TV series figures were available in the UK, oh and a Mego Starsky stood in for Burke
 )
I own some Megos now but I'm not really a collector of them and as nice ones usually sell well on E-bay (and for more than I'm willing to pay ) It'll be interesting to see how
the line does.
I mentioned before I just want ...

found these interesting bits......
BATTLE PRESSKIT NOTES
Noah KeenÂ’s car was broadsided by a Cadillac as he
was leaving the set. He suffered bruises and a few
broken teeth.
Sam Jaffe was originally cast as Lawgiver but didnÂ’t
want to shave his beard. Huston had no problem doing
that.
Roddy : “The first of the series was shot in the
summer and the heat made us perspire, which in turned
worked on the spirit gum, which in turn forced the
reapplication of the adhesive—which in ITS turn worked
on the skin. The rest of the films were produced in
the winter, but in “Battle” I caught cold which was a
charming experience.”
There were remnants of Roddy’s “How Green Was My
Valley” set on the ranch when they filmed.
Natalie: “I suppose that it isn’t popular in this day
of womenÂ’s lib but I assumed a deferential posture
when in company with the males. When I played a scene
with Roddy McDowall, my husband in the film, I walked
a little behind him with shorter steps. When important
decisions were being made I sometimes dropped my eyes
or turned my head away.”
When J. Lee Thompson heard of a survey that his Ape
City set at the 20th Century Fox ranch was being
considered as a possible site for a proposed
television series, he observed wryly, “I wonder if
they’ll want it when I get through with it.” He then
proceeded to blow the whole thing up.
When the gorillas are chanting “Ape shall never kill
ape”, one of the gorillas had an incongruously squeaky
voice. Thompson was convulsed, but he quickly
recovered, ordered the particular gorilla to remain
silent and got on with the shot.
From Heather “Doctor” Lowe’s bio: “Heather’s costume
looks like it was made from potato sacks and it
successfully conceals her 36-23-34 figure artfully
disposed along her five-foot-five figure carrying 111
pounds. Her hair and makeup donÂ’t destroy her face,
but they don’t do anything to enhance it either.”
The casting director, Ross Brown saw Paul Williams on
the Tonight show and thought of him for Virgil. They
called him in to audition and he was signed
immediately.
Austin Stoker was cast after the first choice backed
out. He auditioned over New YearÂ’s 1973 and on January
2nd was filming.
Paul Williams described the film this way: “It’s a
morality tale – with bananas.”
Claude Akins figures that his death as Aldo was par
for the course. He estimates he has come to a
deservedly violent end in about two-thirds of his 42
feature films and about half of his 142 television
shows.
During filming, a group of the filmÂ’s extras, attired
in masks and costumes, adjourned to a nearby saloon on
their lunch hour. Sitting at the bar sipping a
martini, one of the pseudosimians noticed the
bartender staring at him.
“What’s the matter,” demanded the patron, “haven’t
you ever seen a gorilla drinking a martini before?”
“Oh, no, it’s not that,” apologized the embarrassed
bartender. “It’s just that most of the ones we get in
here prefer a twist to olives.”

Battle Presskit Notes
I
recently acquired the Presskit for " Battle "
and
found these interesting bits......
BATTLE PRESSKIT
NOTES
Noah Keen’s car was broadsided by a Cadillac as he
was leaving the set. He suffered bruises and a few
broken teeth.
Sam Jaffe was originally cast as Lawgiver but didn’t
want to shave his beard. Huston had no problem doing
that.
Roddy : “The first of the series was shot in the
summer and the heat made us perspire, which in turned
worked on the spirit gum, which in turn forced the
reapplication of the adhesive—which in ITS turn worked
on the skin. The rest of the films were produced in
the winter, but in “ Battle ”
I caught cold which was a
charming experience.”
There were remnants of Roddy’s “How Green Was My
Valley” set on the ranch when they filmed.
Natalie: “I suppose that it isn’t popular in this day
of women’s lib but I assumed a deferential posture
when in company with the males. When I played a scene
with Roddy McDowall, my husband in the film, I walked
a little behind him with shorter steps. When important

Their only real hope is with geneticists.
This is how my version of POTA comes
about. The geneticists – driven by the guilt of extinction –
farm batches of apes. Some turn out, others (the chimps in the city at
the start of BEGINS) are not so lucky, others yet again turn out better than
hoped and walk more upright/learn to speak.
The typical way they deal with this is to
terminate the ”unlucky” ones until one very intelligent ape debates
the philosophical soundness of this. The ape wins and without any blood
shed humans and (human-like) apes live together happily (humans do continue to
kill each other). Anyway that’s it in a nutshell and it explains a
few things about BEGINS…not everything though! J

they didn't have their colors, etc. established... I'm guessing that's what you're trying to get across?
That or Neil just took a look at some of those lots of MEGO figures on eBay and seen how the seller had all of the apes clothes totally mismatched and seen it as inspiration... ***

How
Much Milk Can You Get from an Ape?
The producers of a TV show are on the verge of finding out
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By
Rowland Barber
In 1967 they were shooting a movie called “Doctor Dolittle”
here on the Century Ranch, 20th Century-Fox's craggy redoubt in the Santa
Monica Mountains. Rex Harrison, in the title role, made such a thing about
“talking to the animals” that one of the animals, a monkey,
apparently had it up to here with enforced integration and escaped from the
set, scampering off into the chapparal above Malibu Creek. The runaway
monkey has never been seen since. Today, seven years later, they are
shooting a television series called Planet
of the Apes here on the Century Ranch. This time they are taking
no chances, and all the simians in the show are humans dressed up in monkey
suits. So far, not one of them has escaped. The prime deterrent has not
been a watchful keeper, but a minimum day's pay of $148 plus over-time plus
15¢ a mile for travel.
The reason everybody is here, gravely doing a lot of things that would
otherwise be ludicrous, except on Halloween, is that 20th Century-Fox has
found the 40th Century Ape to be big box office. The anthropomorphic
primate has been that studio's biggest source of continuing revenue since
Shirley Temple. The original “Planet of the Apes” film, plus
its four sequels—“Escape from,” “Beneath,”
“Conquest of” and “Battle for”—have sold over
$160 million worth of tickets. Now, in its TV version, the property could
net Fox—and CBS—yet-to-be-counted millions more.
And that, for all you husbandry majors up at State
College , is how you milk an ape.
The assistant director calls for quiet on the set, which is the barnyard.
Behind the garish array of camera, cables, mike booms, arc lights and
shiny-boards, director Don Weis surveys the scene to be shot and says,
“Release the chickens—stand by to cue the
gorillas—and—action!”
The Chicken Wrangler opens his cage and shoos half a dozen dazed hens into
camera range. Also in range are a chimp farmer, the farmer's chimp wife,
and their chimp children; Our Heroes, astronauts Alan and Pete (played by
Ron Harper and James Naughton), and Our Heroes’ guide on the far side
of the time warp, a friendly chimpanzee named Galen (played by Roddy
McDowall).
Here's the story. The farmer has been persuaded by Galen to give refuge to
the astronauts, who are being hunted down by henchmen of Urko, the gorilla
who is Chief Enforcer in the apes' police state. The boys from the 20th
century are red-hot subversives to Urko and his ilk, since they hold the
secret of man's past glory on the planet, a secret that the apes have
suppressed in order to keep their slave labor force of humans in check.
Alan and Pete want to hang around the chimp farm for a while, in the guise
of “ordinary” humans, so they can perform their Good Deed of
the Week, which this week is helping a cow give birth.
On cue, three mounted gorillas, rifles at the ready, gallop into the
barnyard, raising a cloud of dust. They are mean incarnate: prognathous,
sunken-eyed and hairy; hulking studies in black-on-black. For some reason
they are dressed in leather jerkins, gauntlets and boots straight out of
the Sheriff of Nottingham's posse in a Robin Hood movie. (For some other
reason, the humans of the planet are gotten up like Biblical rabble out of
a Cecil B. DeMille movie. There are all kinds of time-warps in operation
here.)

Director Weis
is unhappy with the movements of the chimp Galen. “Cut!” he
calls, and the Chicken Wrangler rounds up his flock and drops them,
fussin' and cluckin', back into the cage, and the three gorillas wheel
their mounts and ride back to the shade, where the Horse Wrangler takes
over the reins.
His arm on “Galen's” shoulder, Weis says, “Roddy, I
wonder if—when you first see the gorillas riding up—”
He is interrupted by the voice from deep inside the chimp mask:
“Excuse me, but I'm not Roddy McDowall. I'm Roddy's
double.”
“Oh. Right,” said Weis, recovering quickly. “Now, in
this shot, you're fairly close on camera, so I wonder if you
could—you know—twitch your nose more, like Roddy
does?”

Ron Harper fished
a tobacco pouch from out of the folds of his Barabbas-like sackcloth,
filled his pipe, lit it, and said: “Telling the apes apart here is a
problem for somebody new on the set. But after a while you learn to
recognize them by body shapes and their quirks of movement. See that
gorilla getting a makeup touch? Tom! Hey, Tom—!”
The gorilla, unheeding, walked away. “Sorry,” said Harper.
“So it's not Tom. Well, I know it's not Ronnie, so it must be
Eldon.”
Curious as to how this unintentional but cruel alienation had damaged the
psyches of the TV apes, I wandered about the set between takes to see what
might be preoccupying them when they weren't on camera. Four gorillas were
lounging under a thatched lean-to. One gorilla was reading Daily Variety.
The second gorilla was doing needlepoint. Gorillas Three and Four were
engaged in an intense conversation. A-ha!
G-3: “I just made a pretty good buck doubling for Steve
McQueen.” G-4: “Yah? Nice goin'. I just did a Volkswagen
commercial.” G-3: “Neat.” G-4: “And I still got a
Pabst Blue Ribbon running.” Gorilla 2, putting down his needlepoint,
picking up on a long-lapsed conversation: “I still say, what's the
point of living out here if you don't have a swimming pool?”
|
|
My in-depth
ape analysis was interrupted by the break for lunch.
Humans—crewmen, astronauts and slave laborers—headed for
the chow wagon, some 300 yards away in a grove of live oaks, in a
stampede. Chimps and gorillas trudged in their dusty wake, shedding costumery
as they went, stripping down to T-shirts, tank tops, bare chests and,
in one memorable case, to a bikini bra. They were all grateful for the
break, but in no hurry to endure the ordeal of lunch.

More than the
intensive heat, the melting makeup, the flies, or the interminable stage
waits, hunger is the bane of the thespian ape's existence. The
mask—or “appliance,” as they call it, out of respect for
the hinged jaws—is built on, section by section, during the
three-hour makeup session, after which the hair is laid on strand by
strand. Once on, the appliance is on for the day. While the mandible can
waggle enough to simulate talking, it does not open wide enough to
accommodate a normal mouthful of food. A further gnathic hazard is the
three-inch gap between the protruding ape teeth and the actor's own teeth.
So most of them settle for milkshakes, soups and eggnogs, taken through a
straw. A few of the more enterprising apes manage to maneuver flat
spoonfuls of food into their mouths with the aid of a makeup mirror. But
this is very tedious. It is also dangerous. As a gorilla who had gone back
to milkshakes explained: “You drop a glob of macaroni salad down
inside your appliance, and the flies find it, it's sheer torture for the
rest of the day.”
The company is moving right along, on schedule (six days per episode) and
budget ($200-300,000 per), and producer Stan Hough is pleased. Hough is a
big, sunny, non-artsy movie hand, up from the ranks of 20th Century
assistant directors, who still wears the badge of his old calling—a
red duckbilled cap. He also squints a lot, which gives him an appropriate
into-the-future look.
“It's not only that actors have a ball playing something totally
different, in their masks and costumes,” Hough said, “but we
have so much latitude in what we can say, dressed up in monkey suits. We
are enjoying the freedom, the fun, of creating a whole culture and society
from the ground up. We can reveal truths and show things we could never
otherwise get away with. Make social statements. About the violent side of
human nature. About the horrors of the police state. About the blindness of
prejudice. Let's face it. What we're doing is playing God.”
Unfortunately, it's hard to play God on a six-day-bike-race of a production
schedule, and the criterion of Creation's progress is “How many pages
did we shoot today?” As a result, there is a surfeit of Jungle Jim
“action” shots, skulkings around corners and dartings from bush
to bush to the adrenalin music of tom-toms and muted horns, and a modicum
of Truth Revealed.
On a later visit to the small planet in the
Santa Monica Mountains ,
the set-side fun and games were noticeably subdued. The Nielsen ratings for
the second week of the new season had been posted, and Friday night had
been cornered by NBC. Chico and the Man
was the No. 1 show for the week, Sanford
and Son No. 3. Apes,
directly opposite, was No. 43.
Galen was leading astronauts Alan and Pete across the dry, stony bed of
Malibu Creek, tracked by the camera as they scuttled away from the pursuing
gorillas. A few yards downstream a deer emerged from the woods, surveyed
the goings-on, gave the cervine equivalent of a shrug, then bounded across
the creek and vanished among the cottonwoods and sycamores on the opposite
bank. A visitor, watching it, said, “Beautiful!” A gorilla
slumping next to him said, dispiritedly: “Why? Is a deer supposed to
be good luck or something?”
Things picked up considerably at lunch time. It was Roddy McDowall's 46th
birthday. Eldon and Ronnie, the stunt gorillas, lugged McDowall out of his
trailer, in a two-man fireman's carry, to officiate over his birthday cake
and open his present from the crew. Roddy was wearing a turquoise
terrycloth jacket over his green chimp-tights, and violet shades over his
sunken chimp-eyes. An ivory cigarette-holder protruded from his
chimp-mouth. He had trouble extinguishing the birthday candles. “Blow
harder,” somebody said and Roddy said, “Look, I don't want to
blow my face off!”
He was genuinely touched by his present: an inscribed silver wine bucket
and a pair of matching wine cups. All that was missing, he noted, was a
silver straw. The setting was eminently apropos. It was here, on the
Century Ranch, 33 years ago, that Roddy McDowall became a movie star. The
ranch was dressed up like a Welsh mining town then. The movie was
“How Green Was My Valley.”
|
|
Then it was
back to the usual routine on your usual ape-show location. Apes lined
up with humans to draw their day's travel pay. Apes, along with humans,
hitched a ride back to the set on a prop truck. Other apes, stretching
the lunch break to the fullest, stretched out to sunbathe, from the
appliance down. Roddy McDowall was still hopping delightedly from
crewperson to crewperson, thanking each one for the marvelous gift on
his most marvelous birthday.
I had the feeling that someone was missing who could put the scene in
its rightful perspective. I chose to think that he was there, Doctor
Dolittle's fugitive monkey, bug-eyed, hanging from a live-oak limb on
top of the hill, looking down at the happy-birthday boy and crying,
“Uncle!”

Spot on Mike – not only is this set years
before PLANET but it’s in AUSTRALIA so anything can (and does!) happen really.
The violence you are witnessing is also unusual
for this ape society but there’s a Hitler figure who is using humans as a
scapegoat (AGAIN MONKEYING THE HISTORY OF HUMANS – HAVING HUMANS PERSECUTED AS
THE JEWS WERE IN THE PAST).
