I hope series 3 goes up soon. Here is my current setup. Lawgiver will look great with these guys.

I saw that too... Now I'm wishing I didn't pre-order it and bought it straight from NECA. I'm still waiting to get my confirmation email when my items ship!

Both my son and I pre-ordered through Entertainment Earth... and I hear they are about as slow to get stuff as BBTS.

This could take awhile.

I use Entertainment Earth a lot. It's hit and miss. Sometimes they're slow to get things and sometimes they're up to speed. NECA figs are very susceptible to this for some reason.

Just cancel your order with who ever you pre ordered it from. That's what I did, I originally ordered mine through BBT. As soon as I saw Neca was offering it on Ebay , I cancelled my BBTS pre order. Neca Ebay says I should have no later than next Monday.

Series 3........Anybody have any insight as to when this may be available and how? I don't have a twitter account, but I see the guy "Randy" from Neca answers a lot of questions every day on the Neca site. Is there any one out there that could possibly ask him when he expects these will be released and how? I thought I heard that these might only be available at some convention?

 

[Protozaius]

Randy from NECA tweeted today on NECA's Twitter page that series 3 is slated for release sometime this summer. Where... he did not say.

"Randy" is the product developer for NECA; he's not a pseudonym. Check the back or bottom of any figure you buy and you'll find his name. He's pretty high up in the ranks.

For those who didn't see the Monkey Monday posting, Randy offered up another look at another "potential" figure:



It would be a shame if this Urko never sees the light of day. Damn fine looking figure.

 

[Desamo]

Urko looks very good. I hope they make series 4 and hopefully Taylor we need him so bad.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Urko looks great!

 

[Adolfo]

The 12" lawgiver statue looks pretty good

Hi All,

I decided pull out my Dawn figures and mixed some putty and pose and superglue and cover the joints for a Battle of the Planet of the Apes figure dio (modern version) that I'm planning on doing.

The figures are Ceasar and Luca wave 2 Dawn figures and the weapons I have had in the parts box for years and I think they are from Marvels Punisher figure from Toy Biz.

Has anyone attempted to remove the heads from the classic POTA series? I used a hair dryer to swap out some of the hands on the figures and that seemed to make it easier. I was just wondering if anybody had a different technique or experience when attempting it with a head.
I am assuming the head post of these figures are all the same?
Thanks.

Well I broke down and bought 2 lawgivers from NECA's ebay store! I now have bought 4 :-/ .....2 are pre-ordered and I still haven't got my confirmation that it's been shipped yet. Any who there selling quick on necas ebay store only 18 left so if you haven't ordered one and looking to so so, better act soon!

Hey guys, thought I would do a little diorama update for ya! in the first pic you can see i have started to put the first coat down, a primer grey color for the base.As you can see I still have quite a bit to paint here.

This next pic, is my new remolded Omega bomb, it is better to scale and is all newly designed still need to add the fins and finish the paint on it..


Up next is a fun little picture of the gorilla army entering the ruin cathedral!

hope you enjoyed!
