Looks great!
They will eventually make everything.

No substitutes.
No usurpers.
I want Hot Toys to pick up where they left off fifteen years ago, and they look like they're currently in the mood for that kind of thing...

Apes movies are from Fox, owned by Disney. Hot Toys makes a lot of Disney, though I can't see them making this.

For me the only apes are the classic apes. Five movies and a TV series: 1968-1974.
I have so much nostalgia for the originals that nothing else ever came close, or needed to.
The Hot Toys gorillas are still good, but Sideshow's efforts were severely lacking. Since Hot Toys seem to be in a period of remaking past releases, and they're into hairy figures, I live in hope they'll revisit the Apes and expand the line.
Doubt it will ever happen though.

This is unexpected. Those two pictures look terrific, especially the warpaint one.
I still have my Sideshow Cornelius, Zira, and Dr. Zaius. They're very dated, but considering where the hobby is now compared to when SS produced those figures, I'd be surprised if they're ever remade, so I still treasure them.
I'm expecting whatever this is will be just related to the newer movies, but I'd like to be surprised.

I agree wholeheartedly. This series of films were junk. The originals were the shizat. As a young person my local theater ran all 5 movies for a weekend. It was something like a 10 hour day at the movies for Saturday and Sunday both! When Carlton Heston finds the Statue of Liberty it’s an epic moment in film history. It was so much better with apes having human bodies than chimps talking like humans. There seems like very little imagination for movies these days. Everything is a remake of something better made worse. The original Planet of the Apes series are Epic still! I’m so glad I grew up when I did.
I thought the new movies were fantastic (mostly due to Serkis's performance, but there's no beating the iconic original. And I'm still hoping for a high quality Taylor figure someday.

The new movies are brilliant.
I still love the original with Heston, that was simply amazing, and holds up to this day. A classic through and through, but I don't really care for the others. Might have to watch them again.

The new movies are good, but that last one Kingdom was boring. But, all in all, the only Apes movie that really matters is the first one. Somebody needs to pick that up and do all of the characters from the ‘68 movie; it was pure genius.

A Ceasar would be pretty amazing. Waiting for the full reveal.
HOLY ****! I was contemplating the regular Caesar but the war paint version is too good to pass up. Hopefully it survives production, but this definitely seems worth taking a chance on.
They are just incredible!
Are the 2 from Thunder Toys?
This is something I would almost prefer to be quarter or third scale so you can fully take in the detail. I'm not really in huge need of a 1/6 Caesar.
