I like the idea of reproductions of the 70's fanclub merchandise - it would really appeal to the 40-something original generation of POTA fan you were talking about. But would the fanclub be taken seriously then? Would you be offering flared trousers with rubbish-looking Galen knee patches sewn on? Cos if you are, count me in!

I felt the same way. It was the same with the series. More & more humans & less & less apes. I don't need a Heston in every minor costume change, but I'd buy multible Gorillas with different facial expressions & accesories. And even though the heads would be the only real difference in half the ape characters, I would want them all.

I have only ordered the Hot Toyz Ursus because the cost factor is too great right now. If they had offered more ape characters for the normal 12 inch price my comics dealer would be getting quite a box from Diamond just for me.

I couldn't be happier buying the MEGO replica figures for $18 in a re-sealable package. The nostalgia factor is there plus I can get copies for my son to play with or to build up my Mego army. Which (as sad as it sounds) is pretty fun to set up with my treehouse, etc. They got it right & I really hope that now that Marty Abrams has re-acquired MEGO that some really exciting things are to come.

Are you kidding me? As a proud member of the 70's KISS ARMY I think the name is perfect plus it ties into the Apes world perfectly. You could have different ranks for people who contribute more etc. etc. just like the KISS army. Brillant.

If you do one you should keep it "old school". The older fan base would love the nostalgic factor & newer fans would love to get that feeling like it was way back when. An Iron-On transfer designed by Neil, a paper publication more in line with the "Apes-Fan" books that were not just copies of lists typed up by a fan. You know, REAL illustrations, photos, maybe reviews of not just newer items availible but of collector items, giving reasons why everyone should have "this" but could wait to find "that". Maybe pins or an exclusive poster. Between you & Neil I think you could design just about anything & make it worth signing up for. I really like the idea.

This is the last line on the Wikipedia page---

In early 2009, co-founder Martin Abrams announced that he has reclaimed rights to the name Mego. No specific future plans for Mego Corporation have been disclosed to date.

My nine year old hasn't shown much interest in any of my apes stuff. I
haven't tried to get him going either as I'd rather he discover it by
himself. I do think that he needs to be a bit older to watch POTA and
really appreciate it.

I know that most of us here were fascinated by apes when we were kids,
but that was because we were a more captive audience for the TV
commercials of the time, and there was not much more for us to latch
onto. I think the 'we' are the few that learned to appreciate POTA for
the other reasons after we got in our kiddie kicks. For many of our
peers when we were kids, POTA was just a phase. It had a bit more of
an impact on some kids, but the majority just enjoyed the odd film
here and there.

Regarding Michael's proposed fan club, I would fully support it if
people think that a worthy publication can be put together on a
regular basis. I'm just skeptical that more can be done than what is
being produced by SS as it is. Some people are already critical of SS
content being a bit too far from the subject matter. But we all know
that the SS guys put great effort into getting what little new 'behind
the scenes' information available.

I hope I'm not coming off as being too negative. I don't mean to. I
just try to be more realistic.

Maybe it was 1980 because it was Eric Carr!

And the programs had Peter Chriss but his face was touched up with "the Fox" makeup!!!

It was Peter Chris. Original KISS. Dynasty Tour.

Eric Carr didn't play the Dynasty Tour (at least not in north america anyway).

I've posted a couple of new items to my Apes site.

o Thanks to the efforts of Rich Handley, PDF files for the
"Planet of the Apes: Ultimate Marvel Edition" are being
made available. This project combines every panel from
the Marvel U.S. comics, U.K. comics, and the Adventures
comics. For more information, visit the Ultimate Marvel
Edition page.

Look for new files every week or so....

o Thanks to Dave Ballard and James Aquila, another English
translation of the Hungarian Monkey Planet comic is
available as a PDF download.

Thanks to Dave for reminding me that John Roche contributed a PDF of
an article about CONQUEST from the August 1972 issue of SCREEN STORIES
magazine. I've added that to my site, too.

I think Michael meant his first KISS show was 1980. KISS didn't tour
Australia until 1980, and Eric Carr had replaced Peter Criss by then
(Eric replaced Peter after the 1979 North American "Dynasty" tour).

And the tourbooks didn't feature Peter with retouched makeup---they
were new photos of Eric.

Ah, he's a hippie. He can't help it. KISS was always about money. Hippies are afraid of money. ;) Seriously though, I understamd not wanting to duplicate anything besides the name. Gene Simmons would probably sue you anyways.

I'm trying to put together a list of music that references POTA. Here's what I've got so far, there's a few more to be added:

http://planetoftheapes.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Of_The_Planet_Of_The_Apes#Music_Of_The_Apes

Anyone got anything to add to it? Even if it's yet another punk or metal song called 'Planet of the Apes', I'll include it for the sake of completeness, but I'm interested in any more 70's cash-in records. (Also if anyone has any songs or pictures of record covers from 70's stuff then pass them this way!) Thanks!

Pretty damn good. Each time I'd think I had one you were missing I'd scroll down & there it would be.

Even if it's yet another punk or metal song called 'Planet of the Apes', I'll include it for the sake of completeness, but I'm interested in any more 70's cash-in records.

I'm selling off some of my APES items... Nothing rare, but everything is in nice shape... Mainly vintage 70s items... Please email me privately with your wants and we'll go from there.

 

There's too much to list individually, so "wanted" lists are welcomed. Sorry, I don't have a camera so I can't send pictures, only accurate descriptions.

 

Contact me off list with your wants. Thank you.

yeah, shows how visually stunning the movie was set up to be. It's just a shame that Baker & Burton were handed such a crappy story with the worst human characters in Sci-Fi history.

Shucks!
I just figured I had a lot of pictures and things on my computer and that maybe I could share them with the general public, with a bit of presentation. My philosophy is that even if only one person finds these pages useful, even if it's in 10 years time, then it's been worthwhile. And the basis of most of my information is from studying the archives of this group and the other group (who's message archives are open to non-members) because there's a lot of really valuable info been shared over the years. Give yourselves a pat on the back!
(but it's not my site, I'm just the most active contributer at the moment - if/when Caesar comes out the site could really take off)

Some very nice artwork there. While I was looking for something else I found a set of behind-the-scenes photos from Burton's POTA. The guy seems to have been a cameraman on the movie. A lot of just general shots of actors and crew, but there's a few makeup pictures and interesting stuff like that.

I got a reply from the owner of that 70's UK Apes colour picture:

"Yep, you can use it.

I think it was from Selfridges on Oxford Street. Certainly somewhere in London in the mid-70's. Not sure what they were flogging, I was a bit too young.

Cheers,
Mark"

...so, not too much information then, but it's the genuine article. If anyone wants me to ask him further questions I'll pass them on.

I know this is related to the BURTON shame, but some of this stuff is really interesting.

Where did you get these from?

I was curious about this and contacted the seller. Apparently, it's a preliminary splash page that was intended to run in the UK weekly version of "Kingdom on an Island of Apes," and is being sold by someone who used to work at Marvel UK when the POTA series was still in print. He says he has another page as well and is going to scan it for me. I'll pass it along once I have the scan. Apparently, the page to be scanned was illustrated by Ken Barr, and was intended for use in POTA Weekly #16.

Hi Rich,

Just to clarify I take it the seller worked in New York for Marvel's British Dept'

At the time Most , if not all of the work on the UK weeklies was done in house at Marvel US, it was only latter that Marvel UK was set up as a separate entity (Some time in `78 I believe)

Best,Graham.
