Hot Toys gets POTA!!!!!!!

[EVILFACE]

But to me the movie was so terrible I would not feel right owning them, kind of like buying a Robocop 3 figure. Its essentially the same as the original release, but the baggage of that crap movie makes it a no go

Come on, you can't tell me Bakers Monkeys didn't kick ass. The guy deserved a Oscar that year.

 

[EVILFACE]

Maybe sideshow is handing their 1/6 licenses over to Hot Toys.

That is prolly true.

They looked great but that movie (to me) was such a major dissapointment I'd never buy anything from it. Problem is I was really looking forward to a badass remake with a director I really liked. Instead I got a steaming pile of monkey doo

And Coco, you are now dead to me

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Awww, man. At least I still have my Burton POTA DVD to keep me warm at night.

 

[galactiboy]

What, is a ghost speaking... suddently I feel cold

Man, did someone drop a duece in this thread? Smells like a crapfest all of the sudden...

Burton's POTA is one of the worst movies of all time. And that's not hyperbole on my part.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

If anything gboy, you've got to appreciate the talents of Marky Mark.

 

[galactiboy]

Arrgh... why do the dead taunt me so?!? What have I done to incur the wrath of the departed with bad taste?!?

 

[EVILFACE]

Burton's POTA is one of the worst movies of all time. And that's not hyperbole on my part.

But I'd love to see a sequel based on the ending shot.

Your statement drips with truthiness

Me too. I was really diappointed that they didn't put another one out.

Burton should have done the whole film like he did the ending.

 

[Mark Hazard]

I am fully confident from the release wording that Hot Toys is doing the original film.
Hey!! Maybe they'll do something completely new. Like a Planet of the Apes "alternate versions" line. You know Cornelius with interchangeable Roddy head. Or maybe a first cast line with Paul Newman as Taylor, Edward G. Robinson as Zaius, James Brolin as Cornelius and Linda Harrison as Zira. And then don't forget Burt Reynolds as Brent.

I was hoping that his version would follow the Boulle book closer... more of a society of Apes stagnated in the culture that they took over. If you haven't read the original book its really worth checking out, one of my favoret sci-fi reads

Yep, the book rocks. I was hoping the Burton version was going to be that way too, but it wasn't. But as Evilface mentioned, I still think Rick Baker did a phenomenal job on the makeup.

 

[Ironman1188]

Baker always does excellent work, from Octoman to his most recent endeavors. I don't think I would have even minded a true remake of the original with Baker's makeup, although I would love to see him try his hand at Chambers versions.

I'm suprised HT would bother picking this up. Unless there is a huge hidden market in Asia. Congrats to those fans of POTA though. Maybe LOTR can come back.

As far as HT taking over all 1:6th. I don't want that. They make a nice product for sure but having to pay $150 for any figure will quickly knock many folks out. People already ^^^^^ about SS current prices so I can't wait if HT does how things will go.

 

[Ironman1188]

Apes is huge overseas. And, yes, folks ^^^^^ about SS prices getting higher, but I think Hot Toys quality is way better than what SS has been putting out. Not necessarily $150 worth better, but I'm anxious to see what they offer and at what price.
