      I was beginning to wonder if POTA was off as a possibility due to Disney and disappointing EMCE sales. This is great news although we'll have to be patient.

        As long as we dont get a run of the originals, or basically the EMCE ones, but atleast new characters, like the mutant leaders etc.

          I think some originals would help bring in new people but it seems like new characters will also be involved.

            I do hope for reissues of the originals, especially Urko and Ursus. I also hope to see new characters like Taylor and Nova though I wonder if Disney would permit Nova being made for the same reason they won't permit any more SW Slave Leia's to be produced.

              Great news. really had doubts would come back to mego as Dr Mego has stated they didn't sell well under DST, but I welcome The Return of The Planet of the Apes!

                YES. I will buy ALL OF THEM. I love Mego Apes more than any other original line. I will army build THE HELL out of this. $15 is the perfect price point to do so. A great addition to my VERY BIG Apes collection. GO APE.

                  So both were brutally murdered.

                  But the child ape survived and grew up to set his fellow creatures free from the yoke of human slavery.
                  Good! You heard the news! Time to reserve some space in your award winning collection for ALL NEW MEGO APES!!!!!!!

                  I am seriously happy for you right now, sir!

                    I'm just hoping these sell well enough that Disney considers letting Mego play in their toybox some more. Dare I mention Marvel? Indiana Jones? Star Wars?

                    Mego now has a foot in the door, so here's hoping this is the start of something awesome!

                        I think they’re doing really well, now that Mego is mostly free to go their own way. Target nearly killed it with their sitcom-heavy stuff, but now that they’ve gone full speed ahead on horror and sci-fi I think they’re in a much better place.

                          I hope Disney is beyond all that nonsense by now.

                            that nonsense is blown out of proportion, they just don't want her referred to as Slave Leia. Jabba's Palace Leia or something like that is ok.

                              At the risk of beating another dead horse, it was “blown put of proportion” because J. Scott Campbell said Disney was quietly phasing Slave Leia merchandising out, that no future merchandise of Leia in that outfit would ever be made again, and that he and the other Marvel artists had even been banned from drawing Star Wars women in “sexy poses”.

                              The story was even picked up by the Hollywood Reporter, Slate, Polygon, etc...

                              If it was simply a name change, a lot of industry professionals didn’t do the public any favors by failing to correct the record.

                                Has Campbell done much work after his Iron Man variant cover got pulled in 2016? They switched the code name to Hutt Slayer Leia.
