Oooooohh, Now I Get It. (POTA TV)

[Wee67]

I have never seen the POTA TV series.

That's right. Not one episode.

That is until last night. I bought the series and and watched the first 1 and 1/2 eps last night. Its kind of funny reading all the conversations about the series' influences on theMego line over the years and finally understanding. The inspirations are almost immediately apparent. Urko (or Ursus or whatever), Galen's outfit, etc. Even the some of the customs I have seen here are now making sense. Now I want a custom soldier ape with that cool silverish upside-down "V" on his tunic.

Its a bit early to comment on the series, but so far I'm enjoying it. It was a bit silly how they covered the whole its-the-future-and-the-earth-is-run-by-apes-now in about 2 minutes, but I guess that had to get that outoof the way so they could get to new plot lines. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

Now if you can find the Trek animated show on DVD more of the decisions Mego made will make a bit of sense. I'll never get the oven mitts, though.

Planet of the Apes is a good series, if a bit uneven and formulaic. They managed to get an impressive mix of guest stars to help them chew the scenery, also.

It's "the fugitive" with monkeys, what's not to love?

I found POTA TV series DVD set from the Wall-Mart last year. I love to watching them often!

I remember the whole of that POTA TV series when my brother and I was very young in the 70's, we watched them every nights!

I forgot to ask my parents to buy Mego POTA figures and Playset for my Birthday or Christmas present........
