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?

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!!!!!


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

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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?
