Hot Toys - MMS 88 - Planet of the Apes - 12 inches Gorilla Soldier spec + hi res pic

[creecher]

I am hoping these come in at $120 instead of $150+... but I'm not too confident about that.

So far these are coming out from $110 to $130 for Ursus and the soldier, and $125 to $150 for the Captain.

So if I were you GB, I'd be looking to score the Captain, it's the one that's going to disappear the quickest.

Where can you preorder these? I want to make sure I have the Captain and General Ursus!!

 

[creecher]

ebay will link you up to some reputable Hong Kong dealers Jess. ABC Express being one of them. Cheers. When ordering through them, be sure to use the "multiple" shipping rate, as you'll be buying two figures. It works out to be the best buy out there.

Been loving your work btw. Keep it up.

Just wait for SS to put them up as they will have all three.

Yep, I would wait for Sideshow. At the very least they will probably be the best option for the Captain figure... that is if you are in the US.

If the other two are regular releases then I'd say Sideshow, or if you go through a retailer you can get 10% off. My guess is they will go up for order pretty soon, although I don't think Sideshow is having any pre-orders until after the new year.

Yeah, Jessica... just wait for Sideshow. They'll offer all 3 and the Captain will probably be a North American exclusive through them.

 

[IrishJedi]

I didn't know that! In any case, this is just pure hell waiting to be able to order!!

Oh, just wait. The real hell is the time between ordering and it arriving at your doorstep.

 

[Ironman1188]

They're both HELL!!!

 

[Jessica]

Oh to be between such extremes! Heaven and sheer bliss that General Ursus is alive and well, and the long torment involved until he is safely at my homestead. The agony and the ecstasy!!

They definitely are. It was posted in the original article that the Captain is exclusive to Sideshow and Toy Hunters.

I don't think so. I think it was an exclusive, but meaning it was going to be more limited in its edition size. You can order these from other Hong Kong sellers off ebay already.

Take a look under the figure. It says Sideshow Website, Toy Hunters VIP and Japan Toy Fair. Didn't notice the Toy Fair before though.

I know its part of the original design of the figures... but it does look odd how Ursus doesn't have a visible belt or much of anyting below his armor. Kind of looks like he's wearing pajamas

The way the soldiers are outfitted seems to look a bit more poslished to my eye.

At least Hot Toys got the color of the suits the correct maroon. These are really going to devalue SS's.

Well, he's a General who basically just does rah-rah war rallying speeches and rides on horseback instead of being on the frontline like most other gorillas. So it makes sense.

The Sideshow ones were never valuable. I picked mine up for a song.

Is bashing SS all you do? Well that and other members.

I give credit where it is due.

Then give a little to Sideshow because I very much doubt that without them HT would be doing Apes.

Wah! Sideshow apologists!
