    Wow!
    Is that 1/4 scale Zira?
    Woohooo!!!
    If those are coming, I'm saving my money...

      Read somewhere a while back those are the master (200% - 14") prototypes for Classic POTA Series 2, although I'd happily enjoy being incorrect.

        I noticed allot of influence in the facial features (even scars) of Jackson's Kong in the new Apes movie.

          You are correct about this...

              Just preordered the blu ray of dawn of the planet of the apes from target....you get a free soldier ape figure with it for 23 bucks. Can't beat it.

                  Those really look excellent. I saw the new movie figures at an FYE store, but was less impressed with those. I'll likely be sticking with the just the classic series. They really did solid work on the sculpts and paint apps.

                      Looks cool! May have to reconsider this line!
                      Looking for redhead AJ heads (or figures) - both bearded & clean shaven (I'm trying to complete all the variations).
                      Also seeking: 1 blue Soldier Ape glove, 1 General Ape boot, sun reflector from PotA Fortress playset.

                        I got the first series last week, and they are amazing. Easily the best figures Neca has ever done. If you are on the fence with these, get off it, and buy them NOW.

                            Some new pictures at figures.com They look amazing. I would be so into a General Ursus lost in space/ Star Trek type series. Apes in Space!

                              This doesn't show anything different than what Starroid just posted, but maybe the text might be of interest to somebody?:

                                These are being sold at TRU stores. I've seen Dr. Zaius and Cornelius so far. Really want the soldier ape though.
