Do you guys want to see photos? So very busy that I forgot to take many photos and it's a damned shame because the makeup was the best yet after years of trying. Wore the second sculpt of Zira appliance which corrected the faults of the first one.

Per the seller: I have recently been presented with a unique opportunity to offer a limited number of castings of a very rare and iconic piece. A friend of mine had this screen-used fiberglass LawGiver casting in his collection for several years. This is/was the hero casting as seen in Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It still had the tubes attached to the eye where it wept "blood" in the final scenes of the movie. Not long ago he sold his screen used casting and it was later auctioned by Profiles in History (fetching close to $30,000!).

This is the screen-used casting sold by Profiles

Prior to it leaving his hands he had it molded, as he wanted to keep a casting for his own personal collection. The mold was cast in what is known in the industry as a "waste mold" and has some air bubbles on the back of the mold. These are actually very minor and considering they are in the back of the hair, they are easy to clean-up with a little Dremel work. In addition to this, the casting has a seam running from ear-to-ear (over the top of the head) that you would have to putty/clean-up. Outside of that, the castings I have run are great and picked up all the detail of the original.

The replicas I am offering are cast in a lightweight, yet strong hand-laid fiberglass with a high quality epoxy gel-coat. These are a surprisingly large piece, measuring approximately 15" wide, 27" tall and 14" deep. There will only be 12 of these rare castings offered, directly from the hero prop.

Price is $650 plus shipping

No I didn't :(  first I've seen of it.

I must be moving up in the world what with people using work with out asking :)

(seriously though, all they have to do is ask, isn't that polite ?...I'm assuming the pictures been lifted from my Deviant art page, there's a few other pictures I recognise from DA)

I'd send an e-mail but with the page being so "busy" it gave me a headache and I couldn't see any contact details ... oh and the other reason is I can't be arsed:)

Hope you're well Neil as always best wishes,Graham.
