EMCE's APES figures

[raider5gt]

I cant wait to get my Kirk and Klingon from Paul,i will have to play catch up now for the rest of the Star Trek figures,i hope they do a Gorn figure also?Yes i agree that the POTA line would be good,would be nice to know how many figures are sold then you might get an idea about interest and support.

My next door neighbour in 1974 had all of Mego’s Planet of the Apes; I had Star Trek. Every Saturday after their respective animated series, we would play Star Trek had a transporter accident and ended up on the Planet of the Apes. When he moved away, I lost the POTA figures I loved as a kid. Now I can get new ones (and they will be of the much-preferred Type 2 bodies) I will buy at least one of everything, and as many Soldier Apes I can get my stinkin' paws on ! ! ! This is great time to be a Mego collector ! ! ! !

Good question:
As the Trek Repops are nearing the end of the announced choices still no word If there will be any NEW figures
(or even a Uhura Repop)

I'd guess everyone that "Bought a case" to help support this Line MAY be regretting it now.

But.......................thats just my opinion

Nah, I don't regret "Doing The Right Thing" by supporting the first 3 waves...I just choose not to support the line until we get something new. Simple as that. It's a little annoying that nothing new is coming out of it so far...but the one thing no one can say is that I didn't support the repro figures. I have a sealed case of wave 1 left and 1 and half cases of series 2 left to proove it. Just hope that EMCE "Does The Right Thing" and support the people that bought the figures by giving us some NEW figures.

I hope they do the right thing and do all the 1st 14 MEGO figures before they do anything new. After the 1st 14 come out, then I don't care what they do.
I just want all 1st 14 first....

There are two schools of thought on the right thing...

Why is the question or comments related to the question........ "Are new figure line extensions planned or strictly just reissues of existing figures" always avoided or ignored.

Let them get the 1st 14 reissues out first, if that is what they have planned, then they can add to the line if they want to.

I would have to respectfully say that I think your in the minority. I don't know of anyone that would prefer a gorn or uhura to a chekov or sulu.


I haven't bought any, but I would buy them all if I knew they were going to put out new characters. I'm a mego collector and these aren't mego figures. But they are cool enough to get on their own if they just differed from the originals in some way ( different uniforms, new characters).

[Action Martin]

While I think it would be cool if EMCE released new figures like Sulu, Chekov, Commander Kang, Dr. Milo, Virgil, or General Aldo, I think they should stick to re-releasing the originals first.

Or perhaps release new figures as convention or store exclusives.

[mars396]

why is everyone stuck on this either/or philosophy ?

why couldn't they release a repro and a new one each wave ?

Examples:

Chekov - Cheron
Sulu - Neptunian
Cornelius - Mutant
Soldier Ape - Ceasar

and so on

[Action Martin]

That's a GREAT idea!

I don't think it's so much being stuck on an either/or philosophy. I think it's more that "EMCE said they were going to produce all the originals" and that's what people want. But like every action figure line we all speculate on "dream lists". And the person that already owns all of the originals would probably rather have new figures in the Mego-style.

[Action Martin]

Pre-orders for the EMCE Planet of the Apes figures have started! EMCE's Planet of the Apes And they did go with the Soldier Ape.

[EMCE Hammer]

I'd love to see the prototypes. You can never have too many soldier apes.

[Hulk]

I will be putting these up for order AFTER McCoy and Romulan are confirmed to ship.. which is supposedly the second week of February or so.

[mego73]

I didn't believe they were really happening until I saw the prototype pics. Yeah-hooo!!

[Lynn TXP 0369]

They are too cool!!
Are those real or prototypes?

Lynn

[censy]

Sweet. Bring 'em on!

[drmego]

Those are what I sent to Diamond in October.

I didn't know that these were in Previews yet.
