    Doc Mego astronaut repro (or just the suit)

    I was hoping (believe it or not) that an EMCE Astronaut would be a part of the series of Apes figures.

    I would love to have an new Astronaut in a bright blue suit. I don't think that is going to happen under the Apes label but I am hoping that Paul would be able to get a china made Astronaut Suit and maybe a head available in the future.

    The suit most of all since I know many Astronaut owners would love to put a nice un-faded blue suit on thier Astronaut.

      I was hoping We'd get the REAL Taylor this time...like EMCE is doing Checkov, Sulu, accurate Gorn, Khan!. But not gonna happen I guess.

        CTTV has the Astronaut head but not the helmet.

          I'd like a new Astronaut jumpsuit as well. Mine feels very brittle and is not soft like an Action Jackson jumpsuit.

            I think CTVT does have the helmet if i am not mistaken. It is listed as "red space helmet."

              I thought they did, but when I looked several years ago I think they had different colors including white.

                Fox did not want DST to make the generic Mego Astronaut - and they were not
                interested in getting permission to make a Heston Taylor.

                I offered to make Landon and/or Dodge in ANSA suits as well as skins, but
                the offer was rejected.

                  That really is a shame. Apes need astronauts!

                      Doc,

                      But can you make one (generic Astronaut) on your own, without Fox since it's not really an Ape character?

                      Not suggesting that you do (though I would love it) but are you able to do it if you make no reference to POTA on the packaging?

                      I think a full G. Astronaut would not work (if it's not under the POTA banner) as well for the Doc getting china made blue suits and helmets and letting people spruce up their original Astronaut.

                          CTVT does not make a replica of the Astronaut helmet. They do have repros of the Space: 1999 helmet and Mego Mystery Man helmet.

                            Yeah, I'd love to see Doc issue (parted out, maybe?) the generic POTA Astronaut.

                            Any heads he chooses to redo are fine by me--CTVT's were disappointing.
                            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.

                              Well that is disappointing. A heston Taylor was the first new figure to pop into my head when I heard Apes were being done.

                              So is Paramount brave enough to let DST explore new figures to add to vintage looking lines or is the licensing just easier?
