Anyone happen to have an extra Dr. Zaius V2. they want to get rid of. Loose is fine. I know TRU has plenty but I am hoping to pick one up here quick.
C'mon even though the line is dead, lets keep this thread active. Neca gave us some awesome figures
Sad to say I think this forum is pretty dead. I think everyone had fun Speculating on what Neca was going to release next. Then people showing off there collections. Now that the line is dead the intrest seems gone. I know for one my intrest has has died some. As far as horses i bought some beyer ones but they werent the best scale. The mc farlen headless horsemen looks great! But always looked pricey. Good luck.
I'm still grieving.
To be honest, I think the death of this line hurt more than the death of the !2" Sideshow figure line. at least with THAT line, we know we got EVERYTHING that they made.
NECA left SO much of their hard work unreleased....

Can anyone tell me here about the sideshow ape figures? Like how many figures did they release and who? And what were the prices on them? I've seen them on ebay for like 80-100 bucks mostly. Sucks to know I missed that line as well as started collecting the medicom line at the very end only getting a few of the characters.
Thanks for the photos! Ursus looks awesome! Yeah the gorillas are still awesome despite there hair which honestly isn't that big a deal. Almost seems like you could brush and spray it down. Those figures were pricey to when they were released, suprised anyone could army build with those. Well i hope in 3 years"2018" POTA will be its 50th anniversary so im hoping we get some cool merchandise!
They intended to do more... much more. Mat Falls, the person who sculpted the entire first wave of Sideshow's 12" POTA line and who also sculpted the Zaius PF, told me at SDCC 2008 that we almost got another POTA PF before the line died due to poor sales. A George Taylor PF was completely finished and ready for production when the estate of Charlton Heston (who had recently passed away) would not sign off on his likeness for the piece... killing the item dead.
I think starting with the iconic Zaius was a personal choice for Mat. Since he is my favorite POTA character too, I could hardly fault him for his choice. In hindsight, he probably should have sculpted a generic gorilla soldier like Hot Toys did.
So there is a one-of-a-kind Taylor PF out there somewhere... "probably turned green by now and nobody can read the nameplate...."
Perhaps it's in Mat Falls private collection of his work or inside the hallowed halls of Sideshow Collectibles.
I would love to see it someday.
That is very interesting I did not know that. I always had a feeling that Dr. Zaius was intended to be first of other statues. I like Dr. Zaius too but it just seems like an odd choice to start a line with. That's like starting a Dark Knight line with Two-Face. I am surprised after Taylor was scrapped they didn't at least make one other attempt with say Ursus or a generic Gorilla.
The upcoming PCS Ursus on Steed looks pretty awesome though...but so expensive that I have to pass.
