EMCE Apes

[Gorn Captain]

Is this finished, already?

I haven't even bought my first ones yet....

[Seeker]

Finished ? I dont think so. I just bought the first two I hope not.

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Not yet, only two more, then it's finished..

Personally I don't like to say that anything is really finished until the customers
and the retailers have had a chance to give Diamond feedback.

I don't know for sure the details of Diamond license from Fox on Apes, but
Diamond does license many other lines from Fox, so I'm sure that if the
retailers and fans say they want more, agreements can be reached.

[Seeker]

I hope the feedback is good and the line continues a bit more. At least to give us an astronaut or maybe a mutant?

Would also love to see Urko and Ursus; along with horses and playsets (akin) to the Enterprise playset for Star Trek.

Well...that gives Me a bit of hope for the Apes. I really wanted to see Gen.Ursus(Helmut)produced!

yeppers...there is no interest for me to buy the current four apes if there is no helmet Ursus coming...I was really looking forward to a Heston Taylor, but in another thread it was mentioned it was a no go.

Agreed! Urko (w/Helmet) was my favorite character from the series and I do have my original Mego version, but I would to have a brand spanking new one!

I just want to know one way or the other, so that I know if I am going after vintage or not.

Once I got the definitive answer on the Neptunian, I got one here in the Marketplace.

Hiya folks,

whoops, pardon. I'm a little late on this news.
EMCE is only going to produce the four announced figures?
Corny, Soldier, Zira, and Zaius? I believe

Wow - any particular reason? They haven't really been on the shelves long enough to figure sales trends, have they? Or were preorders weak on them to begin with?

Dang. Well, hopefully sales will be stong over the holidays and Diamond/Fox will decide to continue.

I think I will go do my part and buy a soldier today.

DST was only interested in making Cornelius, S.Ape, Zaius, and Zira after Fox
shot down characters from the TV show and sequels.

Sales were not great on the four - and given the economy lately - I doubt many
retailers will be interested in additional figures of minor characters from the
first film.

I believe in Apes - and hopefully one day the franchise will be respected.

from the Doc himself

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.

[Hotfoot]

Too bad. I guess The fans will have to continue making customs.

[PNGwynne]

I would dearly love to see reissues of the Ape Generals.

I've supported the Apes reissues by ordering two of each at my local shop, and am thinking of getting more for kitbashing.

[spotter]

Got my soldier today at Suncoast pictures 19.99 but I could not resist seeing him on the pegs
