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

Thanks to all who bought the extra (unpainted) Fat Man masks and the red robe. I have none left.

I've been debating on selling these 1/6 scale -Dr. Zaius glyphs which I bought from Matt Sotis last year. I paid $40 to Matt for these. I haven't used them. They're for the costume of Dr. Zaius (as seen in Beneath the Planet of the Apes).

Matt is no longer selling these as his mold went bad. According to Matt, the first few sets he made came out the best.

I have one of the very last casts he made from his mold. These aren't all that crisp or sharp if you ask me. I don't see myself using them unless I use them on a background ape. They are thin (which I like), but I prefer the finer details in his first pulling from the mold.

I also have the really THICK glyphes that ProtoZaius had originally bought from Matt. I now own these after a trade PZ and I made. I used the THICKER glyphes on my Dr. Zaius last night, because I really like details in them.

Please let me know if any of you might be interested in this extra set I have... if so, I can post pictures of them later tonight.

Hasslein, where did you get that motorcycle? That looks great.

It was a from the GI Joe Electra Glide Harley Davidson Cop that came out a few years back...

 

[Ironman1188]

Good catch. That was too expensive a hasbro item when it came out and i've never been able to secure loose ones for my CHiP's figures.

I picked up two of them when they were at big lots, I think they were $20 each... Funny, I emailed the picture to a friend, and they said "What's with the Eric Estrada monkey?"

 

[Ironman1188]

DAMNIT!!! Why can't there be a Big Lots near here!!
I bagged a number of my hasbro apes from the KB Toy Liquidators, butthey never had the cycles.

Hey!! Has anyone found a way to make extra chimp/orangutan feet shoes? Once I get the rest of the custom ape sculpts that I want (a ways off, but trying to plan ahead) I would hate to have to keep their feet hidden.

A mold could be made easily for the monkey feet Ironman. However, if you want shoes that actually slide onto (and over the existing human feet), it would be be best if you actually cut the original rubber ape shoes in half. Then molds would be made of the two halves. Of course, the new resin shoes would have to be glued back together and painted. Are you going to start making molds at some point? It's easy to do, but expensive and time consuming.

Ironman is right Hasslein. Hook us up with some pictures!

Hmmm, is there a way to make them out of vinyl/rubber like the SS ones. That way any brand figure can wear them?

Here are the extra Zaius Glyphs I talked about eariler today. If someone is interested in them (either trade or purchase) please let me know.

What would I be willing to trade? Sideshow's green coveralls and green feet from Caesar.

ProtoZaius – What do you think the next four Conspiracy cards will be?

Dr. Zaius?
Dr. Galen?
Dodge?
Taylor?
Perhaps a brand new ape altogether?

 

[Hasslein]

Okay here is a Medicom Taylor Astronaut with beard, I cut off the heads & swapped them, with a McFarlane Movie maniacs poster(it looks MUCH better than the photos)... I always wished McFarlane would license the apes. And in his swan song as the Fatman -
Mr. Curly Howard....:chew:chew

Some clues might be found in the numbering of the cards already released.

John Landon #1 of 9
Lt. Steward #3 of 9
Dr. Milo #5 of 9
General Ursus #7 of 9
Chief Marcus #8 of 9

I'm assuming that #2 is going to be an astronaut. Since the likeness of Heston is now an issue, I'm thinking that it will be Dodge.

I'm also thinking that #4 might be Dr. Zaius since he is probably the most important ape in the story since he and an unnamed surgeon were the ones that went to work on poor Landon. Could the surgeon (with a new christened name) be one of the cards as well?

Also one of the books talked about in the Conspircy series concerns Taylor and his first run in with the mutants, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the later cards is Mendez or Ongaro.

 

[Ironman1188]

Has any one found "decent" pics of these cards? Or the Omega poster yet?

The medicom transformation looks cool, but Curly looks like he just got caught in between the spikes of the cage and door. LOL

Very cool nonetheless!!
Thanks for sharing!!

I love the creativeness here! Keep it coming Hasslein.

ProtoZaius - I like your thinking concerning the Conspircy cards. That's why I asked you. I figured you had given it some thought also. Thanks for sharing. I agree with what you're saying. Let's see what unfolds...
