(20th Century Fox, 1967) A master model for a test Orangutan makeup design by the legendary John Chambers for the original "Planet of the Apes" film. Chambers cast this prototype attempt at the orangutans in foam. This design was ultimately abandoned, representing an evolutionary step in Chamber’s Oscar award-winning makeup that has seldom been seen. Measuring 9.5” x 12” x 14.75” tall, the model is in very good production-used condition, with slight wear particularly around the bottom edge, with a 1” chip at one edge.
