    Official Planet of the Apes Stunt Cycle



    If there is anything more wonderfully absurd than a Dr. Zaius, machine gun strapped to his jacket popping a wheelie, I want to know what that is and have it.



    Even the packaging is part of the play, I wish more toy companies did this.



    My only regret when I see this toy is the thought that AHI could have done the exact same thing with the Universal Monsters that same year. What could have been....






    We have a PodCast! It's fun, please listen.

    ^Larry Talbot as a "Werewolf on Wheels" would have been too much to bear.

      When a horse just isn't fast enough to get you to the Forbidden Zone.

        Packing heat and on a hog, that is one badass Zaius there. And the mind boggles at the thought of Frankenstein jumping an angry mob on his ride.

          Another good one.

          I imagine 'what if's, if Evel Knievel dressed up as Dr. Zaius during a jump, that would have been incredible.

          Maybe Dr. Zaius requested the machine gun to hunt rabbits for the humans.

            This is clearly canonical with the movie series.

              The mash-up here makes me wish for a version of this with a shark (because of the Jaws craze) on a stunt cycle and the set includes a Fonzie figure so the shark could jump over Fonzie.

                could have worked with Jabberjaw.

                  I found Dr Zaius's keyring in the parking lot...

                    I still think Bigfoot on a jetcycle has one more degree of insanity.

                      Kinda figures there's no helmet law on the Planet of the Apes.
