I see this is the second series. It's my understanding the first issues are coming out early this summer. Is that still on or are they coming out sooner?

Have you been watching America Idol Rewind again? :grin: I was doing some channel surfing earlier and I seen Clay Aiken perform that song about an hour ago or so. And before you ask the answer is No, I am not a fan. :smile:

It will be kind of cool to have Zaius on a T-2 body .......

Out of all the Zaius's i've ever owned (which were many), none was ever on a T-2

It's also safe to say...that between Zira(and Uhura)getting made...that Doc Mego will have a NEW Female Body being mass produced...that won't be a piece of Crap(unlike CTVT'S)!!

And the posted link didn't work for me. Well, it almost did, but everything around the APES picture seemed to have come up, but their picture didn't. I refresehed it about 4 times with no luck.

Can anyone post the picture and/or post it larger than what it'd appear to be on that web-page?

Diamond select toys has bigger pics. The Zaius in the pics is a vintage T1 Mego.

I found this interesting in the description:

A Diamond Select Release! Continue your journey to the Planet of the Apes with this second assortment of classic characters from the blockbuster film! Featuring the orangutan Minister of Science/Defender of the Faith Dr. Zaius and the logical yet compassionate chimpanzee Dr. Zira, these retro-cloth style figures…

* were sculpted by Emce Toys
* measure approximately 8” tall
* feature 14 points of articulation
* come painted and ready for display

Are they technically "sculpted" by EMCE toys? I mean, they're not totally original sculpts correct? They're Mego-based?

This is not a criticism, just a question.

Diamond Select Toys website doesn't show Zaius and Zira yet!

At least this listing mentions EMCE Toys, even if it's not all in caps.
