Planet of the Apes

If someone were to get the license for Beneath POTA (which might be cheaper than POTA) they could get all the characters from the original film and URSUS.

I would think the license would be the same price for PLANET or BENEATH, etc. since I'm sure they all fall under the PLANET OF THE APES trademark/copyright...

A Caesar / James Franco guy set?

I think at this point it's a mistake to not make a new Caesar or the Roddy one.

The truth about POTA is this - Fox gave Diamond the POTA license in 2008.
When submitting, we find out the license was only for the 1968 movie.
Diamond was annoyed, decided to only release 4 main apes and see
how sales looked. Retailer interest was very low and the line was
dropped.

I own the tooling and would love to make new POTA - but it has to
be financially prudent. I have lost enough money on those damned
dirty apes.

So I'd assume that Diamond no longer has the Apes license? That is a shame. It appears that they don't have any of the four apes in stock any more themselves.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear that the other two Night of the Living Dead figures were finally coming out for example, but I guess it's a different situation when you actually own the NotLD license.

Have you ever considered approaching a foreign license holder to partner with any of your product? Medicom springs to mind... Particularly since Mego apes were sold in Japan and they could be considered a retro property there.

I have vintage apes, but I was considering buying a few reproduction soldier apes. Could you offer any kind of bulk rate if I buy 5 or more? Feel free to PM me.
