Valtharen Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hi guys, I'm currently working on an original "Planet of the Apes" style costume and was wondering if anyone else was planning to wear something similar? As i'd love to get photos and discuss costume tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinkyKnights Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ooh, which character? Human or simian? I don't partake in costuming myself, but as a fan of POTA I've loved seeing Apes at a few events over the years. Sadly, they're an uncommon sight. When they are around, though, I find them thrilling.

Valtharen Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 At the moment I will be attending as a generic Chimp. However (if I can get it done in time) I may wear my Cornelius face prosthetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoBot Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It sucks that there aren't more POTA costume wearers. It's the greatest sci-fi movie of all-time, damn it! If I see you at the event, can I get a picture with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good to me, Valtharen - good luck with it. Count me in for a photo, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtharen Posted June 1, 2011 Author Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm more than happy to pose for photos I'm a huge fan of the Franchise myself and am shocked by its lack of cosplayers. I look forward to meeting you guys and anyothers on the Day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkFox Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I've had Cornelius on my to-do list for a long time, I keep thinking I'll never have the money, time or skill for it though. I'd like to be Nova some time though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see you at the event, can I get a picture with you? i am totally with you guys on this one,i always wondered why we hardly ever see apes at the cons.its a total no brainer.if i was gonna do cosplay,thats exactly the character i would do(well,that or a stormtrooper.....uber cool),for two reasons;one is looks about as cool as you can get,and two,nobody else bothers to do characters from POTA.i have only seen apes at one con in the last four years,and that was at birmingham this year....i didnt even manage to get a photo either which i really wanted.......they must have disappeared into the forbidden zone...lol GO APE!!

MinkyKnights Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Apes guests (from the original films and TV series) seem to be a rarity at signing events, too. Anyone have any good autographs? I have Linda Harrison and Buck Kartalian, which I got in person in 2007. I'd love to be able to expand this minuscule collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 (edited) i always wondered why we hardly ever see apes at the cons.its a total no brainer. I'd have thought it was cos they were before most cosplayer's time and doesnt have the wide fanbase like Star Wars. Plus you might end up looking like James Belushi in Trading Places, "Monkey?! I'm a fkng gorilla, ya clown!!" In the movies the thing that made the Apes so cool was that they actually looked realistic and not fancy dress costumes which is what alot of cosplayers may end up looking like.

When I became a fan I looked up main actors from the original movie and sadly most of them has passed away. Linda Harrison is still alive & kicking though, I would LOVE to meet her! Only POTA autograph I have is the ultimate one; Charlton Heston's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkFox Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I met her once! I knew her guest assistant at another event and he introduced me. It was several years ago, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TurkFox Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 (edited) She was very nice! It was just before I'd seen the Apes films so I didn't really know who she was (I had a vague idea) but she asked about me (what I did, why I was there etc.) so I have good memories of her Edited June 3, 2011 by TurkFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valtharen Posted June 6, 2011 Author Share Posted June 6, 2011 I would absolutely love to meet the cast members from the original films. Pity I might never get the chance... Anyway, Heres a sneak peek at what I am planning on wearing. -This is just a generic Ape but I am currently working on a "Cornelius" Character Mask I Hope you like it.

laurab1 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) Do we have to pay to photograph ourselves next to the Monkee and BatMobile? The Nolanverse Batmobile was there last year, and it didn't cost anything to have pictures with it. (It was so roped off, though, that you could hardly do anything untoward to it that would necessitate a fee being charged, anyway.) I would imagine the same thing will apply with these cars, and the Delorean, TARDIS and K9. Edited June 23, 2011 by laurab1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
