EMCE's APES figures

[apes3978]

Any word on if this line is still going to happen?

If so, is there any date as to when the first two will be available?

[The Bat]

Well....look at it this way: There's atleast still two more Lines coming(Romulan & McCoy, and Scotty & Keeper)...and who knows if that's the end? Trek could continue on with The Neptunian, Cheron, Talosian, Uhura....maybe even NEW Figures like CHECKOV & SULU...or THE GORN? PLEASE!!!!!:drool_y:


So...I really don't think They will start with the Apes...until They've finished with Star Trek.

[toys2cool]

Yeah everyone would've been talking about it here,but I think eventually they will

[Action Martin]

I am looking forward to the EMCE POTA line too. I eagerly check my Diamond Previews each month hoping to see them. But so far nothing.

[drmego]

The apes are coming in 2008. The first two will be Cornelius and the Soldier Ape. The others have not been announced by Diamond yet so I won't mention them here.

I don't know how many figures we will be able to produce this year
due to new regulations in China. I have read that every factory will
have a government inspector on site to insure safe material standards.

Translation - more paperwork and delays and more money going
through a Homer Simpson safety inspector.:muh:

Beijing is the site of the 2008 Olympics so all eyes are on China.
Security will be very high and completely crazy.:googly:

My wife and I have been waiting a year for our second adoption
to be processed - now they say the wait time is about three years!
At least we won't be traveling during the Olympics!

[Action Martin]

Soldier Ape? I thought the original news article showed General Urko? Was there a change or did the article jump the gun?
Here's the AFI article where they mention Urko as one of the first two figures.
http://actionfigureinsider.com/main/?p=383

[drmego]

There has been some back and forth about the line-up.

Last I heard it was Corny and the Soldier - two great characters to lead off with -
but nothing is certain until it is in Previews.

[Action Martin]

Any two of the originals would be great to lead off with. Well, maybe except for the Astronaut.

And my mistake, the article says "Ursus" not Urko. I guess as with the original Megos they are interchangeable. :smile:

All I know is that I want them, and I want them ALL! The sooner the better...

What makes you think that? I haven't seen anything saying TREK would go on past the "announced" figures?

Besides that, why would they say that APES would be released in 2008 if they knew that TREK was going to continue on?

[Action Martin]

Is there any reason why EMCE couldn't produce both lines at the same time?

[apes3978]

There has been some back and forth about the line-up.

Last I heard it was Corny and the Soldier - two great characters to lead off with -
but nothing is certain until it is in Previews.

Truthfully, I hope it is the Soldier Ape rather than "helmet head"... Don't get me wrong, I'd like an eventual release of the helmet headed General, but as far as the Soldiers go, they're what I'm really after anyway...

If they would release a General, it'd make more sense for them to rerelease the one more commonly called Ursus, the "black faced" one, because he (or his name anyway) is from the film series and would make more sense to have all film apes released in one series... That and the fact that Ursus is better for custom fodder, as he is more versatile... You can have plenty of unhelmeted gorillas running around, but you really only need one hawkish General to lead them...


Is there any reason why EMCE couldn't produce both lines at the same time?

No, there isn't any reason at all... It'd be like saying that HASBRO can only produce GI JOE and anything else planned can't be released at that same time...

I'd guess the only thing that could prevent both flines from being released simultaneously would be technicalities in production, which Dr. Mego mentioned earlier in this thread...

I know many people want the TREK stuff to carry on and on (and understandably so), but they seem to not want APES reissued... Either they just want EMCE to focus on TREK, or they just plain don't like APES... They may say APES are as common as anything out there, but if you look at eBay, when is the last time you "haven't" seen Kirk or Spock?

[Action Martin]

I was wondering how large of a company EMCE is. It would be unfair to compare them to Hasbro. I'm picturing a very small staff with limited resources but unlimited imagination.

[Captain]

If you were comparing passion, determination, and heart, EMCE blows Hasbro into the weeds!

EMCE is our own Doc Mego, and his business partner...whose name escapes me right now (sorry!). If theres more I'm sure Doc will correct me.

[Action Martin]

So just two guys? Then I could understand if they were working on only one line at a time.

[Captain]

I think their workload depends more on Diamond Selects schedule and wishes. I dont know if they had any plans to do Apes until the first Trek wave sold so well, and created quite a bit of buzz among the non-Mego crowds. My local hobby and comic shops report that kids and teens bought more of the figures than old fart collectors.
Trek is doing great, and now we will have Apes too....If Apes sell as well as Trek, we may see more (and I believe the good Doctor is working on more lines as we speak).
I also believe the Trek line will be continuing on alongside the Apes line, so those guys will be working harder than ever ---If your ever hiring Paul.....;)!!

[The Bat]

I know many people want the TREK stuff to carry on and on (and understandably so), but they seem to not want APES reissued... Either they just want EMCE to focus on TREK, or they just plain don't like APES.


Oh...I want the Apes TOO!:yes: I just want more Star Trek FIRST! Or...both at the same time if I can get Them!:wink_y:

It's just that, there's so much Trek that can still be done...Checkov & Sulu for one! Mego never got around to Them.:cry: And how about a TV Series accurate Gorn Captain??:please_y:

[Hulk]

Last I heard from Diamond was that the Apes were more likely to be late 2008.

[Meule]

I believe the Doc also mentioned working with James Brady on a Night of the Living Dead series.

[drmego]

I would love nothing more than to tell you guys everything we are working on for
2008, but it is up to Diamond Select Toys to make the announcements, not me.

I am glad to hear that non-collectors are buying Trek figures. The kids are really
I wanted to make these figures for, so they can dig megos like we did - and do.

As for EMCE Toys - we are two guys in New York with elves in China. New
regulations are being introduced there which will impact on our production
calendar, but it shouldn't prevent us from making toys, just stretch out the
release dates. With luck, I expect to get into a good flow of product over
the next 16 months.

[Captain]

Playsets would be fantastic!!

Luckily we live in a new Golden Age of Mego, and Scott's DIDA stuff is (hopefully) coming soon to meet this request!

[Troy]

I just picked up the Andorian yesterday.....man, what a great job!!

I really wish DC and Marvel would get on the wagon

[HardyGirl]

Playsets would be fantastic!!

Luckily we live in a new Golden Age of Mego, and Scott's DIDA stuff is (hopefully) coming soon to meet this request!

Amen to that!:drool_y:

[megozilla13]

Why is the question or comments related to the question........ "Are new figure line extensions planned or strictly just reissues of existing figures" always avoided or ignored.

[rikitikitavi]

Good, question. Let's see if it's avoided again. Frankly, I bet nobody knows.

[Captain]

Why is the question or comments related to the question........ "Are new figure line extensions planned or strictly just reissues of existing figures" always avoided or ignored.

I dont think the matter has been avoided or ignored . Doc said it was pretty much in Diamonds hands. Ultimately they are his customer and he doesnt want to tick them off by stealing their thunder. It's frustrating, but understandable. We have to wait for the Diamond folks to make the announcements. I'm sure it's probably just as frustrating for Doc to have all of us asking him the same question over and over (I know...I'm the worst offender!) without being able to spill the beans.

[The Sentry]

I don't give a good Gorramn which ones come out, I'm plainning on getting them ALL! You can NEVER have enough apes! :ape:

[megocrazy]

I think we get spoiled because we find things out earlier than with mainstream stuff. For example they just announced the Mister Fantastic and Torch Sig Series a week or two ago. Those have been in the works probably before the last FF movie came out but we didn't know so it won't seem so long in between the announcement and delivery. With the EMCE stuff we know much earlier what's coming. They haven't even decided on which figures so they obviously haven't started on the actual designs, and we already know they're coming in 2008. It's not that EMCE takes longer they just let us in on info earlier than the big guys do. It's nice to be kept updated and in the loop. Makes us feel important. Thanks Doc.

[monque]

I want all variants of the soldier apes to be available.

[Lynn TXP 0369]

I plan on getting all the EMCE toys.
I just hope they can pull it all off with enough interest and support.
They seem to be off to a good start.
I love my Kirk and Klingon and I can't wait for the Spoke, Andorian, McCoy, and Romulan.
The POTA line will be a kick butt line too.
Lynn

[raider5gt]

I cant wait to get my Kirk and Klingon from Paul,i will have to play catch up now for the rest of the Star Trek figures,i hope they do a Gorn figure also?Yes i agree that the POTA line would be good,would be nice to know how many figures are sold then you might get an idea about interest and support.

[mars396]

My next door neighbour in 1974 had all of Mego’s Planet of the Apes; I had Star Trek. Every Saturday after their respective animated series, we would play Star Trek had a transporter accident and ended up on the Planet of the Apes. When he moved away, I lost the POTA figures I loved as a kid. Now I can get new ones (and they will be of the much-preferred Type 2 bodies) I will buy at least one of everything, and as many Soldier Apes I can get my stinkin' paws on ! ! ! This is great time to be a Mego collector ! ! ! !

[Blue Meanie]

Good question:
As the Trek Repops are nearing the end of the announced choices still no word If there will be any NEW figures
(or even a Uhura Repop)

I'd guess everyone that "Bought a case" to help support this Line MAY be regretting it now.

But.......................thats just my opinion:grin:

Nah, I don't regret "Doing The Right Thing" by supporting the first 3 waves...I just choose not to support the line until we get something new. Simple as that. It's a little annoying that nothing new is coming out of it so far...but the one thing no one can say is that I didn't support the repro figures. I have a sealed case of wave 1 left and 1 and half cases of series 2 left to proove it. Just hope that EMCE "Does The Right Thing" and support the people that bought the figures by giving us some NEW figures.

[Lynn TXP 0369]

Just hope that EMCE "Does The Right Thing" and support the people that bought the figures by giving us some NEW figures.

I hope they do the right thing and do all the 1st 14 MEGO figures before they do anything new. After the 1st 14 come out, then I don't care what they do.
I just want all 1st 14 first....

There are two schools of thought on the right thing... :grin:

Lynn


Why is the question or comments related to the question........ "Are new figure line extensions planned or strictly just reissues of existing figures" always avoided or ignored.

Let them get the 1st 14 reissues out first, if that is what they have planned, then they can add to the line if they want to.

Lynn

[megozilla13]

Let them get the 1st 14 reissues out first, if that is what they have planned, then they can add to the line if they want to.

Lynn

I would have to respectfully say that I think your in the minority. I don't know of anyone that would prefer a gorn or uhura to a chekov or sulu.


I haven't bought any, but I would buy them all if I knew they were going to put out new characters. I'm a mego collector and these aren't mego figures. But they are cool enough to get on their own if they just differed from the originals in some way ( different uniforms, new characters).

[Action Martin]

While I think it would be cool if EMCE released new figures like Sulu, Chekov, Commander Kang, Dr. Milo, Virgil, or General Aldo, I think they should stick to re-releasing the originals first.

Or perhaps release new figures as convention or store exclusives.

[mars396]

why is everyone stuck on this either/or philosophy ?

why couldn't they release a repro and a new one each wave ?

Examples:

Chekov - Cheron
Sulu - Neptunian
Cornelius - Mutant
Soldier Ape - Ceasar

and so on

[Action Martin]

That's a GREAT idea!

I don't think it's so much being stuck on an either/or philosophy. I think it's more that "EMCE said they were going to produce all the originals" and that's what people want. But like every action figure line we all speculate on "dream lists". And the person that already owns all of the originals would probably rather have new figures in the Mego-style.

[Action Martin]

Pre-orders for the EMCE Planet of the Apes figures have started! EMCE's Planet of the Apes (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS14915&mode=retail) And they did go with the Soldier Ape.

http://scott.monkeylord.net/pics/EMCEApes.jpg

[EMCE Hammer]

I'd love to see the prototypes. You can never have too many soldier apes.

[Hulk]

I will be putting these up for order AFTER McCoy and Romulan are confirmed to ship.. which is supposedly the second week of February or so.

[mego73]

I didn't believe they were really happening until I saw the prototype pics. Yeah-hooo!!

[Lynn TXP 0369]

They are too cool!!
Are those real or prototypes?

Lynn

[censy]

Sweet. Bring 'em on!

[drmego]

Those are what I sent to Diamond in October.

I didn't know that these were in Previews yet.

[DCSTING]

My three year old will be thrilled. I sold all my carded Apes so he would stop bugging me to open them.

[Hulk]

Actually I haven't looked either, I just assumed they were since the other store had the link. Could be they are jumping the gun.

[BlackKnight]

They look Great. However why sew up the Ape Soldiers sleves over his hands ? I don't follow the Ape line, & have recently been told that thats how mego made them, but in this day & age of action figures, shouldn't he be able to hold his rifle that he comes with ? :googly:

[Werewolf]

After all these years the eyebrows on the apes still bug me. Not going to stop me from getting a set mind you. But it still looks odd.

[Edit]

I just wanted to clarify. I'm not complaining that the new ones have eyebrows. I just always found it odd Mego gave them eyebrows in the first place.

[MIB41]

My fellow brother and sister collectors, we have entered a new GOLDEN era of action figures. This is freakin' fantastic!!!! We have Mego Trek figures out right now; Apes coming this summer; and Captain Action sometime this spring. Life is GOOD!!! What could be next? Is it truly impossible to see the World's Greatest Heroes return? If this line continues to be successful, I think ANYTHING is possible. Wow... :please_y:

http://scott.monkeylord.net/pics/EMCEApes.jpg

Check out a close-up of the soldier ape gloves.....they're Fugly.:smiley1:

[Action Martin]

Yeah, I'm not too keen on the gloves. I would prefer the "cuffed" look myself but I understand the idea behind being retro.

[kingcarm]

Yeah, I'm not too keen on the gloves. I would prefer the "cuffed" look myself but I understand the idea behind being retro.

I understand that too but why couldn't the gloves have the "stripes" like the tunic does:confused:?

[Action Martin]

but why couldn't the gloves have the "stripes" like the tunic does:confused:?

I just noticed that. Thanks for pointing that out. Maybe these are prototypes.

[The Bat]

I also HATE the Gloved version! But Hey...nothing a pair of Scissors won't fix, and some Fabric Glue!:wink: But I sure hope they have Hairy Hand's underneath those Gloves!??:please_y:

[EMCE Hammer]

I didn't believe they were really happening until I saw the prototype pics. Yeah-hooo!!

The soldier looks to me like an original swapped on to a Doc body, and the Cornelius looks all original to me. The gloves look like handmade repros. I'm sure Doc will correct me if I'm wrong.

I agree with the other poster on the mitts. Cuff the sleeves for a better look and save a little on production costs. One of the great advantages to a Doc body is that the hands can actually grip, why negate that with mitts?

[mars396]

I am FINALLY going to have my army of type-2 Soldier Apes….

I hope f.y.e. keeps stocking them ! ! ! !

Who would have ever foreseen that 2008 would be the Year of Mego ?

[txteach]

No offense to anyone but these are NOT megos. I have heard these repos referred to as megos a few times now. I, like everyone else here like what I see but megos are what got me going at 7 years old. I have fond memories of megos and playing with them. With nothing new coming out by EMCE I do not have the same feelings I had about megos with these figures. They are copies of a figure. If we somehow see something new maybe it will capture the excitement I had with mego.

[raider5gt]

Actually I haven't looked either, I just assumed they were since the other store had the link. Could be they are jumping the gun.

Didnt see them in this months Preveiws,maybe next month?

[megoat]

No offense to anyone but these are NOT megos. I have heard these repos referred to as megos a few times now.

No offense, but they are not "repos" either.

[Werewolf]

I have heard these repos referred to as megos a few times now.

I have yet to miss a single payment on mine. So I'm good.

[fallensaviour]

txteach-megos are what got me going at 7 years old. I have fond memories of megos and playing with them. With nothing new coming out by EMCE I do not have the same feelings I had about megos with these figures.

I hear and understand what you say and can stand beside you on this point,
However;My son is six years old and to him these are brand new.He associates them to my MEGOs and therefor thinks of them as new MEGOs.I have explained to him that these are copies of MEGOs made by EMCE toys and he still calls them MEGOs(or my guys;as in,Hey dad have you seen where my guys are?).Maybe he always will,only time will tell?
For me I can relive my memories through him as he gets his figures. :grin:
It actually is pretty cool watching him play with the same toys I had as a child and watching him use his "IMAGINATION". :wink_y:

So if I have called them MEGOs by mistake,I apologize to the hardcores.
I do try to make sure I give credit to EMCE.for what it's worth to me they are different yet still a part of the MEGO dream.
I to would love to see something new to relive that true feeling of excitement
as I said before I am happy watching my son get excited opening his new figures.
Right now my hopes lie with EMCE and castaway to bring out new figures... :yes:

[txteach]

Your son's excitement is what it's all about. Sorry about the REPO mistake. I wrote that quick while at work.

[Werewolf]

Sorry about the REPO mistake. I wrote that quick while at work.

No worries, I'm just teasing. :wink:

[drmego]

Prepare to get excited.

[Captain]

Prepare to get excited.

.......Awww Man!
How am I supposed to sleep tonight with a teaser post like this floating around unanswered????

I hope the wait is short!:googly:

[The Bat]

Prepare to get excited.


Aw...Paul, that's just EVIL!:smiley1: You're killing Me!

Prepare to get excited.

What if I am already excited?

Thanks what I'm talking about FallenSaviour. We all wish Mego was still around, but it isn't. Would this even be an issue if Paul or anyone else (w/ Marty Abrams blessing) started another company, called it Mego and turned out this figures? I mean really, what's in a name? These are just Mego: The Next Generation. Ok, so these aren't ORIGINAL 70's Megos. So what? Do they have less play value b/c the have the EMCE name on them and they clothing and accessories are a little different? Our Mego gallery is full of figures with different variations, so what's the difference? Is the thrill any less opening that action figure for the first time, or watching your kids play w/ these gems they way you did when you were little? I think not. These are toys to be celebrated. We have our Megos back! And we're getting MORE! And now we don't have to say "I wish my kids could experience the fun I had w/ these toys" b/c now they can! It's a great time to be a Mego collector. And I'm gonna go right on calling these new guys MEGOS.:yes:

Thank you, Paul.

[drmego]

The reality is that no one can come back into the industry with the name "mego" because LEGO won that trademark case.

[Hulk]

Trust me, Doc is right.

[HardyGirl]

OOPS! I'd forgotten about that, Doc. But even so, you're still The Next Generation, and no matter what name we call it, we know it's still Mego.:wink_y:

[toysrus]

Hi all!

Which online store is the best value and safest place to buy the new POTA re-issues? Has anybody ordered yet?

Thanks

[Action Martin]

They haven't been officially solicited yet. Big Bad Toy Store is taking advance orders though.

[JDeRouen]

I'll be offering them, as I'm sure Hulk will, but I think they're still a long ways away from being offered for sale.

[Hulk]

I'll be offering them, as I'm sure Hulk will, but I think they're still a long ways away from being offered for sale.

What he said! Once they hit Diamond Previews, I usually have them on the site within a couple weeks.

[toysrus]

How much do you guys think the POTA re-issues will cost? How many figures are being made?

Thanks







What he said! Once they hit Diamond Previews, I usually have them on the site within a couple weeks.

[Hulk]

I am guessing they will be priced similarly to the Star Trek repros.

[megozilla13]

There's no need to wait. For about $10-15 more than what the first two reissues (corny and soldier) will cost you can get minty vintage figures.


mikej

[The Bat]

Or at least that's what the eBay Seller will tell You...until it arrives in the Mail, and there's Stains on the the back of the Pant's & maybe a few pulls. Or some cracks in the Hands & Feet...or loose Elastics.:ugh_y:

[HardyGirl]

Besides nothing beats opening up that sweet Mego goodness for the first time. :yes:

[txteach]

Buy a real mego and open it. Torches aren't too expensive. I have nothing against these figures, heck I'm gonna buy a dang romulan army BUT they are not megos. Maybe kids iwho get these in 20 years will refer to them as EMEC's.

[apes3978]

One reason I am hoping these figures come out can be summed up in three words:

Affordable Ursus boots... (If they do repro the good general as they said said he'd be early on...)

[Action Martin]

One reason I am hoping these figures come out can be summed up in three words:

Affordable Ursus boots... (If they do repro the good general as they said said he'd be early on...)

Is $15 too much for repro Ursus boots (http://www.megodoctor.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=320&Category_Code=POTA)?

[drmego]

We aren't leading off with the General Ape due to Fox's input, but he is already in China to be tooled, so have patience.

[apes3978]

Is $15 too much for repro Ursus boots?

Yeah, it is a little more than I'd care to pay... I guess I can't see why some of the items sold on that sight are within a reasonable price range, and some are double the price of items that, at least on the surface, it wouldn't appear to take any more time to have made...

And, BTW, what happened to those resin cats of the Zaius boots he was selling? Those are the Zaius boots I'd want, as they can at least be painted.

[EMCE Hammer]

It's a PITA to make boots and gloves by hand. A helluva lot harder than making, say, a Thor hammer or a belt.

If you want to know about the Zauis boots, just call him.

[The Bat]

Yeah, it is a little more than I'd care to pay... I guess I can't see why some of the items sold on that sight are within a reasonable price range, and some are double the price of items that, at least on the surface, it wouldn't appear to take any more time to have made...



Like Steve said...some things are more difficult to Hand cast than others. The $5.00 Boot's You see on Doc's Site...were made in China, and He had to buy Them in large quantities to sell them at that price.

[Lynn TXP 0369]

I will be putting these up for order AFTER McCoy and Romulan are confirmed to ship.. which is supposedly the second week of February or so.

Is that shipped from you or China? I thought the MC and Roms were already on the water arriving in the time frame you mentioned?
Just curious.
Lynn

[Hulk]

That timeframe is when Diamond expects to ship to there distributors (ie me, Joe, Starlog, etc). Distributors get email invoices and shipping notices when they ship from the Diamond warehouse.

Also, per another post, I will not be putting any POTA figures up for sale until Diamond officially solicits for them, which they have not.

[Prez.Tonic]

I love these figures and have quickly bought the Andorian.....but I cannot justify paying more for a repro than I would for an original off eBay. Therefore, Kirk/Spock/Klingon is out.

Looking forward to Romulan and McCoy.

I sure hope they obatin other cool Mego lines like "Muhammad Ali" or of course "Superheroes". The thoughts of finally getting a Lex Luthor Mego is unbelieveable.

[apes3978]

We aren't leading off with the General Ape due to Fox's input, but he is already in China to be tooled, so have patience.

I am curious (if you're at liberty to say that is), but which General will you be reproducing here? The "helmet head" or "black faced" general?
:ape:

[Action Martin]

I am curious (if you're at liberty to say that is), but which General will you be reproducing here? The "helmet head" or "black faced" general?
:ape:

If I recall correctly the original announcement was that one of the figures would be General Urko (helmet head). So it could be him.
