Just came across this thread in a search, and I am blown away. That first shot is jaw-dropping! I understand you are simplifying the design, but I gotta say I love the stairs and the bridge! I'm sure you've thought of this already, but I wonder if there was some way you could get some pieces--or one big central piece--vacuuformed, and then have that "fit" into the vinyl set. I've spent some time looking around monster model sites, and there's a lot of guys who make castle/dungeon-type dioramas, and then cast the pieces in resin and sell them. Mego is roughly the same scale as a lot of the old Aurora models, and that scale is very popular with figure modelers (as are the Apes themselves). Maybe a collaboration could be struck? Say, one central piece that could be made cost-effective by incorporating into other "Super Didas"? (Castle, Pirate's Cove, Mad Scientist's Lab, Supervillan Hide-out, Star Trek environment... yeah... alright, easy for me to suggest, I know. As Blondie sang, dreaming is free. : )
Anyway, this looks beautiful. I've always liked playsets that utilize flat backgrounds, and have a kind of stage-y, movie-set quality to them. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
