EMCE's APES figures

[BlackKnight]

They look Great. However why sew up the Ape Soldiers sleves over his hands ? I don't follow the Ape line, & have recently been told that thats how mego made them, but in this day & age of action figures, shouldn't he be able to hold his rifle that he comes with ?

[Hulk]

Actually I haven't looked either, I just assumed they were since the other store had the link. Could be they are jumping the gun.

[DCSTING]

My three year old will be thrilled. I sold all my carded Apes so he would stop bugging me to open them.

[drmego]

Those are what I sent to Diamond in October.

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

[censy]

Sweet. Bring 'em on!

[Lynn TXP 0369]

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

[mego73]

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

[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.

[EMCE Hammer]

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

[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.

[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.

[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]

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.

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.

Lynn

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).

[Lynn TXP 0369]

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...

Lynn

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.
