    Some of those tunic/glove combos are going to make for some peculiar garb though without matching sets. Would also be more useful to have matching tights to go with these.

    Maybe more (matching pieces) to come?

      Matching pants would be cool too, I know FTC sells colored stretch pants but not in orange, a Zaius with the
      orange jacket and a pair of orange stretch pants would look nice with the hyrogylphichs boots, orange ape gloves
      maybe? I'm thinking they had Zaius in mind when they made the orange jacket and gloves.

          Since it's not actually a jacket, I think that it was the Cartoon look (Return to the Planet of the Apes) that they were going for.

            I order the batgirl head with white hair and was happily surprised that the mask is black, not blue like the picture.

                  POTA items now showing pics. Weird colors, but matching pants.

                    This is great. I just got a shoe box of brown ape T1 body parts. While Mego/WGSH was great, Mego/POTA was my childhood joy.:D

                      Urko being a member of the Gorilla army of the POTA TV Show.
                      I wish they'd add the photos to the descriptions.
                      So since NECA has the Apes 8" license (supposedly) at this point, does it mean that FTC can't make an Apes village playset? They've done the Batcave (great set), and the village is basically a re-purposed Batcave....

                        [revised 10/28/15 after some assembly]

                        Unfortunately the purple doesn't match, which is a shame because it's good color on the tights. The black and brown are good to go. All fit decently but the tightness of the elastic really varies from pair to pair.

                        The vinyl used in these *looks* good but know it's a much thinner more pliable material… be careful when unsnapping and handling. If you crease, indent or otherwise rub this vinyl it will tear. Even the fold of the gloves in the factory bag was enough to start a tear on the purple pair.

                        The tunics however are cut well and fit T1/T2 bodies really nicely.

                        The gloves are worst of the lot… they are undersized, smaller than the originals and in some odd, non-matching (bright blue, bright/light purple & brown) colors. I've already opted to cut two pair down to make cuffs instead.

                        Still hoping they offer matching bits to have complete sets of tunics/gloves/tights.

                          Lots of great stuff being added!!!
                          I'm gonna have to make an order soon.

                          I'm still waiting for new Earp double gun holsters in various colors(white,black,brown,light brown)
                          Would also like to see some new western guns not the police guns!!!

                          Still lots of exciting pieces being added.

                            As referenced above on a variety of bodies… still messin' around with accessories, but you get the idea:

                              I love them!! They look fantastic. Excellent idea from Figures to offer up the various ape clothes.
