Subject: [PotaDG] POTA "alphabet"

A few weeks ago, somebody on Ebay was selling some plans from the
original movie, and there was a photo of the "alphabet" that the apes
used. Did anybody keep a picture of it? Reason being is that I also
dabble in calligraphy, and I scribbled it down but who knows if my
scribbles made it to the recycling bin....

Fun... hmm I remember that !!!

I seem to have misplaced it sometime in my 20's !!!!

No, seriously, as you say John just looking at Jessica's Mego photos shows how much enjoyment goes into making the figures.

Best,Graham.

My partner made  this for my birthday... hmm... 15 years ago.

The photo doesn't do it justice, the snout  was inches of pure fudge.

As a born again thin person I do n't think I'll see the like again .

*sigh*...Ditto on getting my paws on Ursus...I am so disappointed with
the current helmet, but the geeb-o-rama site is the perfect fix for
it!!!!

Why am I saving my sideshows for? Why???? So my kids can sell them
at a profit when I'm gone? Why can't I enjoy them now?

You see Michael, once you have your own business you just don't have the time to do anything... so you just obsess on things you haven't done... hence your mis -read

You should check out the Cornelius sharpshooter photos on my blog.  The photos are so impressive when you click on them to enlarge them.  The eyes on the 2nd photograph are so convincingly menacing that you forget it's a 12 inch doll!!

Be a better sports nut! Let your teams follow you with Yahoo Mobile. Try it now.

I've put the introduction from the PC game, up to where the player
takes over, on YouTube, for anyone who hasn't seen it before:

http://ie.youtube. com/watch? v=iAqxWWz5ifY

I believe their are lots more familiar characters on the other levels

 Thanks for this Neil, I've thought about getting the game for awhile (Not really a gamer though and I'd read it was difficult ) so to see this 5 minute clip is useful... hmm... still 3 weeks before Christmas... might have  to go on the "List"
