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

I was watching the "Oscars" and was appalled that, when they went through the people that passed away this year, there was much applause for many people but a hush overcame the audience when Heston's name was announced.

There was little acclaim for his work.

Politics is one thing, but art is more important. Hollywood give the man his due...

NRA aside... Heston was one hell of an actor.

Rest in Peace Mr. Heston...

Oh crap, that's right, he did pass away. I completely forgot about that.

Just pre-ordered the General Ursus Hot Toys figure. My first Planet of the Apes figure in my collection and it's a damn good looking one too!

Though the remake movie wasn't all that great, I thought Michael Clarke Duncan's gorilla character would make for an excellent figure.

Congratulations!!

Ironman, here are photos of the cast I have of Dr. Milo. If you want me to make you one I can pour another cast for you.

Wow. I can't believe I didn't do any customizing today. I'm usually doing something, but today I did nothing. Just thinking about cutting up my scarf for Zira's neck wrap instead of sacrificing my sweater...and wondering if I could take it apart a little so I could use the dark brown strings for Zira's sleeves.

Umm, in case anyone's interested, there's a SST Cornelius figure up on Ebay with a starting price of 99 cents. Let the frenzy begin...PS

Preparations for girls' night out!!

This gorilla needs minor tweaking, but he's salvageable. He's one of my favorite gorillas I made.

Jessica - So it's $45 if I order Milo and Carsia? Let me know and I'll get payment off for these 2 heads. I'll be ordering more from you as $$$ becomes available.

Yes. $45 for both unpainted.

I wish I did a better job with the hair. Oh well. Next time. I got honorable mention at the costume contest, though!!

I was written up on a blog!! That's me because I was the only ape in town!!

Best costume prob goes to either the Batman and Catwoman duo, or the woman in the Planet of the Apes with FX makeup, hair and costume. I did a double-take when I saw her. She looked so unassuming walking the show. If I didn't know better I'd say she walked off a tv/movie set.

Wonderful quote about you. And congratulations for wearing a Zira costume and coming off as "unassuming."

Kudos to you Jess!! I only wish that I could have joined you. We could have kept going up to the puny humans arguing over whether they were for scientific research or target practice!!
