Just wondering. Need a general or two for my ape troops!
Will EMCE ever make the POTA Generals?

Type Two: The Mego body, not the disease.
Agree! Star Trek figures were all made while only 4 POTA EMCE figures were made. We need the General Ursus/Urko (the one with helmet), the other Ursus/Urko (no helmet, red nose and mouth), and at least the Astronaut. When would we get these?

I'm sure Doc or Joe will chime in; but seems I recall - no more apes.

Pretty sure apes are done.

Too obsessed to turn back
I seem to recall this being discussed at the time the last POTA wave had been released. The understanding I had was there was not enough interest to continue the line at that time. What has happen since (and whether they still have possession of a license to make them) is another question altogether.
It's not how hard you hit, but how hard you can be hit and still move forward.
How about the new movie? Does anyone think we will ever get a new mego line from a movie? I guess Venture Bros. is the closest thing to a line from a new media thing thats out as the same time as the toys eh?
On another front, I just got the bug on the Mego Bendies I had forgotten about them. Anyone know how to start collecting or if there is any chance of a repro line?

You are right. They didn't sell well at all. As far as the new movie goes, I think this movie will not revive Planet of the Apes mania. Planet of the Apes will live on with its fans.

from what I recall, it was 20th Century Fox that said no more, they only wanted the 4 done
Diamond's license was only for the first movie as Fox wrote in the
license. Diamond Select intended the first two to be Cornelius
and Urko when the contract issue came up.
It was decided to go with the main 4 Apes to see what interest
there was in the line. Retailer orders were low, Sideshow was
making 12 inch high-end Apes, so the line was put on hold.
Someday I would like to re-visit POTA but the new movie just
drives up the price of the license.
