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

[Ironman1188]

Ironman - Glad to hear you're making some headway with your face painting. Any KISS apes in that batch? Did you pick up the black/brown ribbon yet? After painting my ribbon, I stuffed a portion of it into the predrilled holes and filled it with hot glue to act as a plug. I'm looking forward to seeing some pics from you. [/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

No KISS apes yet. Killed me to pass up buying the Sonic Boom but its just not in the budget ...yet. Besides I have to bring myself to part with one of the open mouth gorillas for Gene.
I'm trying to match the packs to HT colors. For straps I was thinking of cutting up an old jacket I had, if I still have it and can find it.
And.... I have been searching for POTA related art of late. I like this one:

Let me know when you're ready for another open mouth gorilla. I'm going to cast a few this weekend and start removing the Sideshow gorilla heads from some of my Conquest apes for variety.

That apes picture would be totally awesome if the artist would have stuck to ape related things. What's with the weird looking unicorn horse and the human tiger?

Guys who are not happy to be here... please feel free to start your own thread since obviously this thread is not headed down the path you want.

Maybe this will mesmerize and then cheer Jessica up!

Nice collection there Wax Murderer.

I agree, with a couple extra gorillas you could easily kitbash a few different characters.

Here's my Ursus head on a reg gorilla soldier. I also gave hive a clinched right fist.

Oh Man this Pic is awesome I thought it was real at first glance.
I'm so glad I just dropped the money for all 3 Apes tonight. Now just have to wait for then to get here.

Oh Please.

 

[Ironman1188]

Angel, I'm ALWAYS ready for more. Its just the matter of money, unless you want to put me on layaway.
The picture isn't POTA picture per se. Its a post apocolypltic piece. There fore it has the apes characters, Ookla, Ariel and Thundarr from the old Thundarr cartoon and the other characters that I'm still trying to figure out.

 

[Jessica]

Oh Please.

 

[Dollmanron]

My original comment was only an observation, not a complaint. But, if you want to get ugly, then take your gesture and set on it and spin.

 

[Jessica]

No comment dolly man. I would get banned, so I'm going to play nice.

 

[Dollmanron]

That's all I was doing before so I will do the same.

By the way, Dollman ron, not "Dolly Man", has been collecting action figures for 41 years.

You have 38 years of experience above me, Dollman Ron.

And you are a fellow Libra.

Man, it is so easy fall behind in this thread. You all are some serious post monkeys.

Ironman, I am so glad you received the package, I hope you enjoy the DVDs.

Good God Angel, that statue is amazing!!!! What kinda scratch do you charge for one of those...er, if you even sell them?

 

[Protozaius]

ProtoZaius wants his statue really light in color, closer to the movie than mine was. So that's what I'm striving for. Pictured here is Caesar after 3 different colors of paint and 1 wash. Still have at least 2 more colors to add. I hope this works. I left my Caesar statue dark because I was afraid to mess with the lighter colors.

Wow! My Caesar statue is coming along nicely. Thank you Mark for all of your hard work. It is really "ape"preciated!

Boy from your previous picture your plate is quite full of ape related projects... amazing! But don't feel any pressing need to finish up the statue quickly... again the clock is NOT ticking. Follow your muse and have fun with your customizing.

Angel, those other items got out to you this morning. You should have them Tuesday.

What means "keep this thread alive" ? Just talk to be sure this thread is on the top of the page ? Sometimes I've got this impression. This thread is pleasant but a bit hard to read if you don't think to apes 7 days in the week. For the popularity of the apes maybe it would be better to show your finished works or step by step presentations (it would bery very helpful too) of your customs in a single message. If you weren't "worried" about apes popularity I suppose you would use the POTA group.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

Last night, while watching the Pittsburgh Penguins defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs, I actually hemmed the Sideshow astronaut pants of Taylor so they would fit the female form of Lieutenant Stewart.

I hope to do the same very soon with the jacket, but it’s taken me about 2 years to get this alone done.

I started this thread years ago in hopes of convincing Sideshow that there was more life left in the line than they had given it. Over time it has become one of the premier threads for POTA fans to visit, see what's new, show their customs, share their ideas, etc...
I don't know for certain but I'd like to think that what this thread has shown and accomplished at least played a small part in Hot Toys consideration of taking over the license.
As for the social group?
I have gotten 32 members. Twenty-eight others have not responded to the invitation to join as of yet.
This thread is there in the forefront everyday. Everyone knows where to find it and I'm sure that there are some watchers who do not post but visit regularly to see what we're up to.
I still hope that some Sideshow vip's will return to this thread, but that is not all that likely after the way they left. And I doubt they would even consider looking for us in the social group area.
Bottom line, we're pretty much on our own. A necessary evil if you will. Sideshow and the administration don't pay us much mind, but we persist in being here anyway

I just tucked the pants into the boots and turned in the sleeve length on mine.

Hey, Angel are you going to leave her as is or are you going to mummify her and make her look post crash?

Just wondering...

OMG Angel..that looks so much like Stewart! Congrats!! She just needs her hair tamed down but that's about it.
