Neca to Make New Retro Styled MEGO Apes!!!!

[palitoy]

I've read his quote several times. I'm not convinced he's talking about Apes.

You're right, that seems to be mainly conjecture on the part of the blogger.

Now this could be interesting.

By the way , your doco was a fun watch. Do people know of these locations, because there a tourist thing in the area, or something U had tp do research on? Would be cool to rebuild the ape village, Im sure you'd make a mint, getting people dressed up, and just reliving the whole experiance.

I had to do a bit of research to find 2 of the 4 locations, especially the location of Ape City. The locations are very easy to go to. I think every Apes fan should go there!!!!

cool, they initially said no when i asked them last year. Maybe sales of their figures are better than expected. Hope they have more than just the movie license.

It seems that the new films have given Planet of the Apes a new life. I guess we have a couple of weeks before until SDCC. I'm going to be on the edge of my seat everyday until we see what it is!

That was pretty darn cool! I wonder if those campers knew they were camping on a piece cinematic history!

Oh hell yes there is definitely a fan base for the original Apes movies. I made a video on my YouTube channel quite recently. I went to Malibu Creek State Park, where most of the first Apes movie and Beneath the Planets of the Apes was filmed. It was quite an adventure. I went to the 4 main filming locations. Check it out! Yes, I can admit I acted like I 10 year old on Christmas morning in this video, but my mind was blown the entire time!

Thank you! Yah I wondered the same thing. I want to go camping there myself now!

He could be referring to the Mego-esque figures NECA's been releasing this year (Freddy, Jason, Ash, etc.). NECA doing Mego-esque Apes would be great, but I'm guessing we'll hear more about future releases in their horror and rock mascot lines.

After rereading it, you guys are right: He never really does specify APES... I'll remain (cautiously) optomistic that he's referring to Mego-styled APES, but I'm not holding my breath...

The biggest point here is NECA can make planet of the Apes retro's if they want...they have the Apes license

[Mego-Amigo]

Since we've already known about NECA doing retro / Mego style figures for a while now it would be odd for him to mention it the way he does if he were not referring to something we have not seen yet. I won't get my hopes too high but I really would love for it to be apes, especially repros of the six Mego originals DST couldn't give us.

Lets just keep our fingers crossed. SDCC starts next week on Thursday!

Wow great video, was very cool to see the places after this many years!!

[MEGOMAN]

Thanks, I'm going back next summer!

If anybody from here goes to the SDCC, I hope they're able to find out more and post it here...
