Quick Story of a New Fan!
I was basically just a model builder of figure model kits like the old AURORA Monsters of the 1960's and the ADDAR Planet of the Apes of the 1970's.
This was until FTC started to release the 1966 Batman figures in the old Mego style and I started to collect these as well as model kits.
I had the Batman Mego's in the 70's and LOVED them.
I never collected the Mego, Planet of the Apes figures because (to me) they just didn't look enough like what they were supposed to look like.
I had recently read where a member of the MM posted that he picked up a new Mego styled Gorilla Solider of a new Planet of the Apes series by NECA at Toys R Us.
Well, I had a Doctor's appointment this past Friday morning and decided to stop at Toys R Us afterwards to see about getting one for myself.
As it turned out, they didn't have the Mego styled Ape BUT they did have the NECA 7 inch series.
Ursus was the first one that I picked up and just looking at him in the store, I was totally amazed at the detail of this figure, it was gorgeous.
So, I bought Ursus, Zira, Zauis and the Gorilla Solider two pack.
When I got them home and began to pose them for display, I fell even more in love with these figures.
I was totally blown away!
I'm going out of my mind because I don't get paid for another two weeks and I want to buy series 1 on eBay or Amazon as well as the Lawgiver statue. (I hate waiting).
I had NO idea that these figures even existed up until two days ago but now that I do, I'm in for the long haul.
I plan to buy everything in this line and I'm looking forward to more releases.
These figures are the best!
Thanks Neca!
