Save the Planet of the Apes!!! - PIX ADDED!!

When I opened it, there he was, Ursus.

Dr. Zaius - So you opened the door and met Ursus!? Really Cool!

I watched Planet of the Apes today just to see when Landon last appears on screen in the movie.

A gorilla strikes him and he falls off of the cliff into the water below making a big splash onto his back. Then two gorillas drag his unconscious body from water and onto the shore. That's it! That’s the last we see of him. The next time we see him is after he’s been lobotomized!

That's a good sized gap for his adventure on the Planet of the Apes. I think Planet of the Apes Conspiracy is going to rock! It'll probably address Cornelius and Zira's charge of heresy too.

Well to me Sideshow issuing slippers for characters that wear boots is as big a mistake as Conquest putting human shoes on all the ape feet. Accuracy & consistency, should not be much to ask!

Wow, it's good to see this thread active again.

The apes in Conquest didn't design their clothes, or the shoes they wore, their masters did, so IMHO I don't think there is an inconsistancy, unless you want to make the argument that ape feet wouldn't fit, which I think they could. Maybe a bit snug, but...

I love Conquest....

Hey Angel, great shots on your customs.

Dr. Z Congrats on being the first to get the mighty General. He looks great. Try white balancing your camera. Is there any chance we can get a SideShow side by side comparison? I want to compare the color in the outfits and see how the heads look. Thank you.


Angel, sorry I didn't make the post office. I got carried away this week. I will go Monday. I spent the day trying to reorganize my collection. Here is a tub of stuff that I'm hoping to sell so if there is anything anyone wants, you guys get first dibs. I'd be happy to trade,

Honestly, I've never even looked at the feet of the male Mutants. Thanks for sharing. Are you really getting boots for yours?

Eventually. I want at least the main mutants accurate.

I am most anxious to see how they write this "conspiracy" story. However, after Landon is struck on the head during the hunt, he is part of the humans captured that day that fell into the hole. It will be interesting to see how they write themselves out of that hole.

I know the apes didn't design the shoes. However, the cost cutting measure of putting them all in shoes was nothing more than just that. Chimp feet would never fit in those tiny little human shoes.

And, Sticks, I sent you an email.

Was sitting on the couch today and the postman came to the door and delivered a box. I was thinking while I was opening it, "I don't remeber ordering anything". When I opened it, there he was, Ursus. I hate to say this but Hot Toys left SS in the dust on this figure. He looks like he just walked of the scren. I'm not a double dipper but if HT releases more of the ones SS already did, and they look as good as this, I want them! The only issue is his hat. It is made like Hasbros and limits his head turning. I am hoping that if you get one Angel that you will re-cast it and make the flap in the back out of the material you used for the SS Ursus.

I was sitting on my couch yesterday as well. Postman came. No apes , just bills.

KFog was asking me if I had any extra masks to sell of the Fat Man from Beneath the Planet of the Apes. Turns out I have four (4) of them available, in addition to one (1) red robe that I’m willing to sell. One mask per person, first come first served. Send me a private message [PM], that’s how I’ll determine who the first four people are and no other way.

I’ll ship each unpainted mask to you for $7 each. You must paint it yourself; I am NOT willing to do this.

I also have one (1) red robe for sale. (Denise made an extra one and then had me pick out the robe that I liked best for my figure. That means you’re getting leftovers. Sorry.) I’ll ship it to you for $3.

If you want any of these items you better be quick!

BTW - Payment not received by this coming Saturday will be resold to another interested party.

(Here's a picture of those things and our new kitten we named Milo.)

I was looking, wanting (the Gorillas mostly, and lamenting my lack of funds.

and now this.

Me too! Love it!

How much to you want for the EMPTY tub Sticks?

 

[stickman]

How much to you want for the EMPTY tub Sticks?

Wow, you're brutal.


IM I responded, I hope it works out. I figured you and Angel would want these for kitbashing. Jessica could probably have turned the Japanese soldier into an ape. He's a good size for that.

 

[stickman]

Leave me an email IM, As it stands you'll be getting first dibs, thanks.

Here is what I need to buy for my shoot this afternoon, holy smokes they cost $16.

It's crazy when you put it into perspective, so I'm willing to let this go so I can get these. Unfortunately I only need them for this opening shot and then they go on a shelf.

 

[Hasslein]

Angel, you've probably already answered this, but how did you make the logo for the "Horse Race" collar? And how did you attach it? I always wanted to make that outfit.

Hasslein - I hand painted that horse on the red cloth. I did have to attach it.

I was only joking Sticks, hope I didn't offend. Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to pass on these buddy. I don't see any use for them in my little world.

However, I might be interested in a trade of C & Z after all. I think I can find a use for them. If you're still interested, what can we work out? If not, that's fine.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Sticks - I don't get it, what's up with the paprazzi toys? Why do you need to shoot them?

 

[Ironman1188]

Sticks, I emailed ya back!

 

[angelofmusic2112]

I was not counting on doing this, and I never really saw this coming, but some things just seem to occur unexpectedly. I’m glad this happened last night.

I looked at my gorillas last night, and I thought to myself “Many of these gorillas need more hair, like in the first installment.” It turns out this quest started to unfold last night for me, and I’m working on it once again right now. In addition to that, those 2 female apes and Dodge are also in the pipeline and being worked upon today.

I’m hoping to have it all off of my dining room table by tonight. I can see the difference in the gorillas. I hope you will see it too. Later ape fans!

 

[angelofmusic2112]

FYI – The red robe and one Fat Man mask has been sold.

Three Fat Man masks are left. Send me a PM if interested.

 

[Ironman1188]

Angel, would you be able to save one of those Fat Man masks until I get some income flowing? I just can't miss out!!
