So I take it that we are abandoning the other NECA thread?

Incredible photos! The lighting is so good. Ursus seems to be my favorite figure. What's yours?

 

[Positron]

Heres my POTA collection. The boxes look nice up top too.

Thanks Angel. I love Ursus, and my kit bashed General Urko

Also, I took PZ's advice and painted my officers tunics with silver paint. The stripes look white in the light so I can understand the confusion with the colors.

Here is another General I did, was wondering what he would look like with gold. Eh

Having some fun today.

I need to bump this thread for the amazing photos I haven't seen. So sad there isn't a lot of Ape stuff out there at the moment and with the Neca line dead just breaks my heart. I started watching the films recently again with my girlfriend and she loves them.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Hey guys I also have a question. Do any of you know if apemania is still around? I've been wanting for years to purchase some stuff from them but they never seem to update the website and there email links don't work. I haven't tried there phone but I thought I'd ask you ape fans. They reliable and good? I searched and not a lot but got some good feedback. Let me know please thanks.

I was wondering the same thing. I e-mailed them a while back but never got a response. No one picked up the phone when I called. Not sure if they are still in business.

Doesn't seem to be a very updated site either.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Apemania is alive and well! I got an email from Brian. Asking every question I can. they are in the middle of upgrading there website but they are alive!

 

[dholden007]

Any chance you can post their list? It would be cool to see. I think Jessica used to work with them or at least help them with some costumes, or projects. She might be able to give you some info if Apemania is too busy.

FIGURE TOY COMPANY is doing well with their 8" 1966 Mego Batman line. Maybe if they got the license we could get some more Ape figures. Sure miss these guys.
It's great to see the SAVE thread alive as well. Thanks for breathing a little life into it Ryan.

I'll post it in a little bit. Brian starting in January will be busy working on Jeepers Creepers 3 so it'll be crazy but he'll answer any questions and take orders when can. Gotta keep the apes going!

With both the death of the NECA line and the cancellation of the Pop Culture Shock's 1/4 scale Ursus statue, POTA is pretty much dead in the marketplace. I really can't imagine the property finding a home anywhere.

Deluxe Pull over Prosthetics:


The Deluxe Prosthetic Pull Over Mask ensembles come complete with a Starter Make-up & Removal Kit

as well as print and video instructions to instruct you with proper techniques for application,

removal, maintenance and repair. With proper care they will last for years.




These are the same masks we use on the Apemania performers when they do live ape-pearances™. They have the same mobility and expression as a 4 hour prosthetic make-up, but all the make-up and hair "ape-lication™" is already completed because the prosthetics are pre-attached to a breathable spandex hood. It actually only takes about ten minutes to get into one of these masks, which saves a great deal of prep time when our performers are massing for an ape-pearance™!!!




And if you want even more mobility for speaking, we can make your DPPO with a chin that glues on separately. It takes a little more time to get ready when you go ape than the regular DPPO, and you will have to replace the chin after a while, but it does offer a bit more mobility than the regular DPPO.




Current price is $1450 Credit Card/Paypal price plus shipping and handling.




Each DELUXE PROSTHETIC PULL-OVER takes about 4 to 6 weeks to complete, once we have your head measurements . To ensure a perfect fit, you will have to complete a head measurement chart. (click here and print out the chart).




Pleasure doing business with you.

I also would like to add that some of the products I asked if they still around I got an answer. The ANSA Backpack is no longer around and only 10 were made. The Caesar Roddy McDowell Commemorative Wall Plaque is still available and for about $450 plus shipping and a portion is donated to the Motion Picture Television Fund. There resin kits are still around and the list is below.
Yes.
RESIN KITS

• Unpainted: $140

• BRONZE FINISH: $240 (Ursus: $425)

• Fully Painted $295 (Ursus: $495)
At the moment they have been working on some pretty awesome stuff. I pasted below what Brian told me. I hope this helps you guys and email is below!

"Yes, we are. lately, as far as our Ape activities go, we have been helping private collectors with life-size mannequin displays as well as completing our replica POTA rifle line. <https://apemania.com/ACCESSORIES/Accessories_Page.htm> We now have replicas of both the 1968 POTA as well as 1970 BENEATH rifles available in dummy "economy" or deluxe airsoft models. And due to popular demand, we also offer (to sport shooters) each rifle stock sized to fit US M-1 Carbines and/or and Ruger 10/22's. Those replicas have stirred up a lot of laughs and smiles at local shooting ranges!"

Thanks for posting that. Wish I could get some of those. A painted resin kit is very very tempting though.

 

[cmiller99]

That's a long list. Someone should help them deplete their stock.
