      Going Ape is the perfect name for a Planet of The Apes Broadway Musical. The apes on the top level are GoGo Dancing, while Urko is working that control stick like a Stratocaster.

      You are transparent; I see many things... I see plans within plans.

          Okay, now I want to put an ape conga line in there somewhere, dancing to the new hit tune, "Damn Dirty Ape"...

                    Love those Apes! I'm so glad they decided to like fashion.
                    I post in thy general direction!

                      A fashion trend started by Mego's Verdon and Burke. Wanted her to match them stylistically. And speaking of dang, dirty humans, I realized that, for some reason, I have no desire to add the original astronaut (or a repro of him) to the scene. Just wouldn't seem to fit. somehow.

                      Just because you are mercilessly subjugating humans does not mean you can't look good doing it.

                          Had to set up a new display after getting the Apes catapult and cart at the Meet, and finally got around to putting together some apes I've had parts piling up for. including some new ape clothes from CTVT (new stuff seems fine quality wise). And, thanks to the kindness of a fellow Megoite at the meet, I had a Zaius top to make a new orangutan I've been wanting for months (the brain is not as young as it used to be, and I can't recall who handed me the top and asked for nothing in return, but it was most appreciated):

                            ^^ Cool!

                            I'm not crazy about the wide cuts or lack of glyphs (they could have easily created a new design) on the new tunics. Are they better quality than the thin and fragile vinyl used on the Gorilla gear? Nice that CTVT matched the dye colors on the tops/bottoms this time around.

                              I like these new "chimp" Garanimals, though i was surprised they were in cotton rather than poly.

                              The tights are sized much better than the earlier offering.
                              WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                                The tights are better fit because they came from the two Uhuras I got at the Meet. I chopped the CTVT tights I had up for the leggings on the Trek ladies I put together.
