Thanks Neil!

These two pages have elements similar to the begining of Ploog's Terror.
Was it an intentional homage to that series?

Excellent work! The first panel of Ape City is incredible. The artists from Revolution POTA should hang their heads in shame and break their art supplies.

Burton's POTA made the list of "Top 22 most awful moments in sci-fi history"

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/most-awful/most-awful-scifi.php

It clocked in a #6.

(Pretty interesting list to read for all SF fans).

    Hey Neil,

 

I've been in nostalgia mode in my televisual watching

lately.  And longed to watch the old Bonanza episodes.

Strange that Hoss is supposed to be Ben Cartwright's

youngest son when Dan Blocker is only 13 years older

than Lorne Green.  But anyway, the opening and closing

has these ink and watercolors.  Ever do any ape paintings

in ink and watercolor?  Just curious if you use the medium.

I understand the 'Terror' reference - the scope of that panel with
the rope-bridge over the creek is wonderful, but more natural and
organic-looking than the wild drawings in Terror. The ape city looks
great also - have you moved it from the sea (as in the earlier
sketches)?

*** No. The apartment complex I live in doesn't allow dogs or cats.
Someday, though, I'll move to a different place which does allow pets,
and chances are I'll get a basset hound. To paraphrase Armando: I like
dogs the best of all pets... and basset hounds the best of all dogs!

Tried to upload this solution yesterday, but the file was too big so I
just cut out all but the WRONG part with what I believe are the
differences. I'm pretty sure about 4 of them but a bit dubious about the
one right above the lip. There are actually other areas that have even
smaller ever so slight variances.

Do these match your picks Neil?

I surfed through all 9 pages of Zack Parsons' The 22 Most Awful Moments in Science Fiction, and I'm not impressed.

Oh, it's not that I don't agree with some of what he gripes about. Many of his targets are easy ones with which every sane individual agrees. Some of his targets... not so much. His inability to see competence -- not to mention occasional brilliance -- in Babylon 5 is astounding. Could he not find at least 22 other SF "moments" worse than a show which justified having a fanbase?

I could rant about his abusive comments regarding the sequels to Planet of the Apes , but you all here know that I see virtues in the (live action) sequels to POTA that Zack is too blind to see. Instead, I'll harangue him regarding Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics -- which he dismisses as "awful".

Either Zack hasn't actually read Asimov's short stories and novels involving these 3 Laws, or he has read them and not understood them.

He trots out the blather about how the real world (not to mention other SF fiction) has disproven Asimov's notion of law-abiding robots, what with killer robots and all that.

But that's the fucking point. In Asimov's universe, a contraption is not a Robot (in the truest sense) unless it is programmed with the 3 Laws of Robotics. In Asimov's stories, a gizmo -- like, say, a toaster or a microwave oven -- is not a Thinking Machine, an "AI" or "Artificial Intelligence". It is merely a gizmo. So, too, are all the killer robots that Zack imagines "disprove" Asimov's notions.

Asimov went out of his way to compare the 3 Laws to the safeguarding measures that have always been put in place regarding humanity's technological innovations. Inventors often have to "idiot-proof" their newfangled contraptions, so that they're safe to use by the consumer public. Like airbags or seatbelts in cars... that sort of thing.

Asimov foresaw the eventuality -- which has yet to happen, by the way -- of Mankind creating Artificial Intelligence. It is one further step to imagine an artificial intelligence -- housed in a "positronic brain" -- to be combined with a humaniform construct (an artificial human body)... to produce a thinking being which is not human yet looks human. Such human-created things, in Asimov's imagination, would be made to serve as willing slaves. They would be sentient, yet non-natural -- thereby not having "human rights" in the strictest sense of the term. Thus, to prevent those sentient slaves from ever harming a human being, some form of preplanned safety feature would have to be incorporated into its design. The fear of such sentient "mechanical men" ever carrying out a revolt against their human creators would necessitate a means of controlling them.

Asimov imagined such safeguards being "hardwired" (so to speak) into their cyber brains. They would be sentient... but not in possession of Free Will. Unlike a 20th Century (or, 21st Century) "killbot" imagined in some Terminator-like scenario, an asimovian Robot would have a built-in safety feature which no subsequent programming could override.

Asimov isn't the only SF author to imagine such built-in safety features. In a short story by Harry Harrison (the title of which escapes me at the moment), he imagines a near-future world where all children are raised with speaking teddy bears which are programmed to indoctrinate those children from the get-go with personality conditioning. The protagonist of that story is the only living human being who had the ability to assassinate the leader(s) of the government because his parents had managed to de-program and re-program their son's teddy bear, so that he grew up never being indoctrinated (or, behaviorally conditioned ) to be unable to fire a handgun. In the story, this lone human with Free Will ends up using the gun to kill this group of dissidents (including his own parents), since the Teddy Bears had pacified the human race and made Murder a thing of the past, even if it did consolidate a supposedly "oppressive" government's position.

Behavioral conditioning is one of the more interesting SF themes, and Asimov's Robot stories are among the most well-thought-out variations on that theme; the imposition of the 3 Laws of Robotics is an attempt to establish order lest the situation devolve into chaos, just as the pursuit of Psychohistory (and the "Laws of Humanics") was an attempt to transcend human nature with a "higher" paradigm intended to create the greater good for the greater number.

The POTA sequels Conquest and Battle delve into the notion of behavioral conditioning, too, but Zack doesn't seem to be able to see anything worthwhile in them, deeming them part of the "awful" moments in SF.

To repeat: Zack Parsons is a dipshit. I can think of hundreds of more awful "moments" in SF than what made it onto his list. His inability to appreciate certain SF moments that many -- and most -- SF afficionados can appreciate, just makes him one snarky creep with an opinion. And the Internet allows every a-hole the venue to voice their opinion. But what is his worthless opinion worth? If he can't tell the difference between, say, Daneel Olivaw and the Gunslinger from Westworld, then who should give two shits about anything else he has to say? It's like comparing a Model-T with the latest, fanciest, and most expensive car currently available on the market. Or, comparing a Model-T with the Spinner from Blade-Runner. Or comparing the Wright Bros. first airplane with an X-wing fighter.

Yeesh. The guy's an ignoramus or a fool or both.

Patrick

Here is a photo of my Mego Zira that I purchased off of Ebay a few months back.  I never did like her outfit since I didn't think it was that very accurate, so I sewed one myself.  I used my husband's eel skin belt (shh...don't tell) for the leather on her outfit.  Her outfit is still missing a pocket with glyph...haven't figured yet how to create that glyph, but I've got lots of eel leather to play with.  I couldn't find the right color for her inner sleeves so I had to use the same material as the inside skirt, so it's not as "textured" as I want.  I'll just have to keep a lookout for the perfect fabric.  But I'm happy with the results, and I think this outfit is better on her.  Does anybody have any Mego Zira photos to share?

Just wanted to drop a line for those on Facebook that there is a small

No. Your fifth error is more glaring than the lip. Your version is the
correct solution. Being an artist you better have a better eye than me!

.html *** Those are pretty nice... I don't like the Virgil character, but I do like the custom of him... It's too bad this guy doesn't sculpt in the MEGO 8" scale... I really like the SIDESHOW figures, but in a way they're a pain in the azz because if you want any number of them, you really need a lot of space to display them...***

That's not just a custom character, but an entire Diorame with Virgil
and Mandemus. I'm assuming that the color is a bit off on Mandemus
only because of the lighting. Excellent work and I love how they out
it all in a bamboo room and gave Virgil his little geiger counter.

Wonder if this person can make a "John Huston" Orangutan?

Nice work.

Chris Hight sent me an email directly telling me that yes, it was
a "Huston" not "Mandemus" in the picture (although it still looks like
Mandemus to me.)

Anyhow I'm glad to know that Chris was the one who made these and he
should be applauded for the great work. He's also selling these in
case anyone is interested.

You just have to choose a fabric with elements of orange and brown

in it.  I would look for something close to artichoke green. Some

think it's olive, or avocado green, but if you look closer, it's not.

Spent the last two nights downloading various POWER RECORDS etc. book

just as excited by these as he is). The Man-Thing issue is amazing &
features Ploogs art from the original comic issue.

Slow time for Blue Bell Ice Cream. So, I'm lovin' the break. I've
been finishing work early and the stress level lightens up quite a
bit in the Winter months.

I'm always here. Not much to say or add but I'm here.

Yes these are the Mego action 8-inch figures. I don't really know much about them--I have just been introduced into the mego world, so I am learning everything I can.  I think the Zira I own has a "type 2 body" so she's more fragile but she poses better, and Cornelius has a "type 1 body" because he's got the metal rivets and he's freakin' hard to pose!!  I had to tie down his hands with string behind his back to take the first shot.   I tried to use as much of the sewing machine as possible to create their outfits but a lot of it had to be hand sewn because the selvages are so small and the machine kept chewing up the fabric.   I am going to study the first movie this weekend so that I could recreate the soldier's outfit on my gorilla doll.  Someday I will change his head with a better sculpt, but for now I will have to settle for a swanky outfit.

I also have the sideshow Cornelius and Zira, but their outfits excelllent so I don't have to do anything to them--and they are just so spectacularly spot on!  

I am still holding my breath for future sideshow apes.   

Jessica.

I met a bunch of like minded ape customizers on the Sideshow message board. It's all about making insanely detailed ape figures for our collections.  

 

So where is everybody and what’s been happening?

Thx for good words Mike.

 

Here are my tips to ape making: The gorilla vest is really tough to nail down and sew. I bought the original gorilla costumes, took them to seamstress and said: "DO".

I have a bunch of head sculpts so if you like painting and filling airbubbles let me know which characters you would like and I'll forward you some pix. I no longer sell completed figures but if you need parts and heads I can help you out. All of my customs are for 1:6 scale figures.

Yes these are the Mego action 8-inch figures. I don't really know much about them--I have just been introduced into the mego world, so I am learning everything I can.  I think the Zira I own has a "type 2 body" so she's more fragile but she poses better, and Cornelius has a "type 1 body" because he's got the metal rivets and he's freakin' hard to pose!!  I had to tie down his hands with string behind his back to take the first shot.   I tried to use as much of the sewing machine as possible to create their outfits but a lot of it had to be hand sewn because the selvages are so small and the machine kept chewing up the fabric.   I am going to study the first movie this weekend so that I could recreate the soldier's outfit on my gorilla doll.  Someday I will change his head with a better sculpt, but for now I will have to settle for a swanky outfit.

I also have the sideshow Cornelius and Zira, but their outfits excelllent so I don't have to do anything to them--and they are just so spectacularly spot on!  

I am still holding my breath for future sideshow apes.   

Jessica.

Thanks, they look great. I know nothing about the action figures at
all - these ones are the 8 inch ones, yes?
