.html.htmlAre you talking about the one on page 186?

I would imagine you'd be able to take some acetone (or maybe even plain nail polish remover) and remove the war paint from the current Caesar: Then with the war-paint off, take some acrylic paints, mix up a skin tone you like, and paint him up to what you want him to look like.. (You could probably paint right over the war paint too, but removing it would give you a "clean surface"...)

.html.htmlTrue about them needing a Caesar (or Caesars) to coincide with the next movie, but I'm gonna guess that if they (NECA) still have the APES license at that point, they'll sculpt a different version because A) They won't want people saying "Look at that, they're giving us the same thing, just painted different" and B) By the time of the next movie, maybe Caesar will be wearing pants!

They could do Caesar with pants now if they wanted to (from "Rise").

For some reason, Koba with war paint doesn't bother me, but it's too pronounced on Caesar. He looks Tim Burtony, he's got raccoon eyes (this isn't Guardians of the Galaxy). But we've got a long way to go with Caesar so I'll wait to see what else they come up with.

Here's someone who repainted Caesar:

Be careful before using acetone. That stuff can melt some plastics. If you want to use it, do a little test somewhere like under the feet where you won't do any permanent damage.

I could see them bringing in clothes at the end, maybe a future coda. Probably I'm influenced by "Battle" but I could see Caesar dying at the end (should he?) and then them going into the future a smidge where Caesar is venerated (the Moses figure they're talking about). Where the apes have clothes and we get a taste of the next one. I don't see how they could worship him like Moses during his lifetime. His real Moses story was "Rise". Everything else is just further adventures among the monkeys.

I bought both from Sideshow and thought they were worth the price. It sure seemed to me that the Dr. Zaius figure was made just to comply with the contract with Fox. I assumed that they agreed to do at least one premium format figure, and that's exactly what they did. They didn't even go to the trouble to design a printed box like they do for most other figures, just printed information directly on the cardboard mailer, and shortly after that dropped any references to POTA from their website. I'm guessing we'll never see anything else from Sideshow, but I do appreciate what we did get from them while it lasted.

Thank goodness for N.E.C.A., they seem more interested than Sideshow ever was.

My guess is that they simply didn't sell well enough for Sideshow to make enough of a profit on what the cost of the license, design and manufacturing was. What was made sold-out, but probably Sideshow would have made more if the demand was there. It obviously wasn't. I'm sure that if NECA doesn't sell enough to make the profit they hope for, they'll drop it too. It's unfortunate, but it's always about money.

Looks like the "Dawn" video will include a "preview" of Fox's upcoming Moses movie "Exodus: Gods and Kings". Lots of POTA/Moses connections these days. Of course Moses wuz one of Charlton Heston's most famous roles. "Rise" could be considered a retelling of the Moses story (the writers saw it that way). Recently the "Dawn" director called Caesar "the ape Moses". And the same people who are bringing us the new Ape movies (the Chernin folks) did the "Exodus" flick. Holy Moses!

And Ursus and Zira and the exclusive gorilla two-pack. Classic Series 2 is here. And a fresh batch of Dawn's Caesar. I dropped by and it looked like an upside-down civilization.

Maybe Toyz-R-Us is feeling the guilts for having an exclusive so they're stocking up on Apes. Ursus looks magnifico. The sculpts on Zaius and Zira are good but I have a prob with their colors. Too much orange on Zaius' face, too much white on Zira. They do such good work, I just wish some of the colors were more on point.

Speaking of which, I finally picked up ol' Raccoon Eyes. I needed a Caesar; Koba is running amok and Maurice doesn't stop him.

.html.htmlI don't get why the 7" Soldier is okay by you but the 8" version isn't? They essentially look the same, so what's the difference? All I can guess is the enlarged head shows his goofiness more clearly? I'm not saying he's the best looking Gorilla ever made, but compared to anything else that's been done thru the years, I'd say he's at least on par with them...

My big hang-up with the 8" version: I've yet to see a photo with him wearing his ammo bandolier so I'm guessing they're not including that accessory which makes no sense... The Mego repro site might end up selling a lot of their repro ammo slings to make up for NECA's shortfall (but I'm not 100% sure the repro bandolier would look right or not...)

Yeah, I don't know why I even checked it. Usually there's nothing. I was just nearby and we'd been posting about NECA so I did. I was shocked. They had a ton of Apes. I just assume their exclusive is putting them on their toes. But your mileage may vary at yours.

I got the first series with no problem but now it's just the opposite. No NECA toys at all. Hopefully this Friday I'll find something. If not, then I'll just have to order online.

Mine just has a dinky little "collectibles" section amid all the Star Wars and Ninja Turtles. What they have changes often. The stuff they have now is Predators and Dr. Who and Godzilla and figures from Sons of Anarchy...and Apes. They had those Breaking Bad figures that got pulled and might eventually be worth some dough.

Like I said, I've never seen that much Apes there. It might have to do with the gorilla exclusive.

Where is NECA based? Is it a Southern California company, because if it is then maybe things are first distributed in the southwestern region of the country. It may be a few weeks before they start to appear in other regions. But you know, when it comes to buying things these days, it's best to start on-line. So, is T-R-U offering these figures on its website yet? All I can find is the two-pack gorillas.

Funny you should ask as I just checked out the Toys-R-Us here in Ottawa today at lunch time after hearing they were out in the States yesterday. No luck.

Ironically, they just received the first 3 NECA figures that came out months ago, I also inquired again if they ever received any of the Cornelius 'scaler' figures (clings to MP3/phone 'bud' wires) that was exclusive to Toys-R-Us and Target stores, but they never got them either.

I think I'm going to have to order them online as the prospects that either of these will ever arrive in Canadian stores is remote at best.

PS: Did you ever get a chance to watch those 3 'POTA rareties' DVDs I gave you when you were here at Cancon 2013? I think I also gave you an Apesfan fanzine.

Sorry, I should have been clearer. I went to the store inquiring about the Gorilla Two Pack. So to answer your question, yes they just got the 'regular' NECA first set.

I just pre-ordered the first set from a local comic store that carries action figures. You should be able to get those in some of the larger comic shops in Toronto. (Silver Snail?, Paradise?)

Heads up! Caesar is a head case (created by the WETA folks) this blu-ray autumn and some of the press are already going in head first. But don't get in over your head, it's around $100 and comes with movies you might already have. But it's head and shoulders above other blu-ray sets.

Their great scenes. Especially where Malcolm learns Caesar's name for the first time. Which later leads to "No Caesar, No!"

I demand a Director's Cut! "Lousy Human Bastards!" :)

Subject: "Dawn" director on the next "Apes"

.html

One week to go until the "Dawn" home video arrives. This article has a clip from the blu-ray centering on Keri Russell (Ellie) but below that is an interview with director Matt Reeves on what the future has in store for Caesar.

Reeves: "What we want to do is take the movie away from San Francisco, into a sort of larger landscape, to allow the movie to be expansive but not lose any of the intimacy... this notion of our nature, the way in which POTA explores the sort of war within us in addition to the war between the species, that's really going to be central to what this story's about. It's going to take Caesar into uncomfortable places that he's never been before and really test him. It could, I think, be the most emotional story yet, a really powerful story, but also a really thrilling and epic story".

He also takes to heart the criticisms about the lack of female characters: "It's something that we definitely are thinking about moving forward. I always try to think about "what is the right story?" and the characters come out of that, so it is a perspective that we are definitely trying to keep in mind as we plan out the next one".

Finally, he commented on the recent concept art for "Rise" that would have ended the movie with the Statue of Liberty. Though some people are in a hurry to connect to the original POTA movie, he feels it would've nipped in the bud what's interesting about these new movies and "it's totally unnecessary". He sez there's "zero" chance the statue will make an appearance in Apes 3.

Very cool and new (for me) picture.

This is one of those times I wish we could see more detail from these vintage photos. The bottom part of the housing structure looks very adobe like and fits in with what I describe as ape city structures. But the top looks like a giant face/mask from a totem or Aztec sculpture.

I agree with you that it's confusing about that name: Since it's not an adaption, I don't know why they'd do that, but then again they did it with the "Firestorm" novel too (titled it DOTPOTA and subtitled it "Firestorm")...

Time to check the deals on the "Dawn" blu-ray in the Sunday paper.

Sometimes stores have exclusive docs or footage for the big releases. That doesn't look to be the case. All the extras are in the general release. Any exclusives are just packaging. So what's the choice?

Walmart: their exclusive looks to be a "Rise"/"Dawn" 2-pack.

Best Buy: they've become the "metalpak" kings with a nice metal case. But their exclusive cover art is kinda bland (black and white of the familiar Caesar image). It also looks like their metalpak is only for the 3D version (which includes a blu-ray for those who don't have a 3D system).

Target: They were offering a NECA Classic POTA gorilla figure with the blu-ray but they aren't advertising it here. Might be only with preorders and not in stores.

Then of course there's the big Caesar head collection for about $100 but that doesn't seem exclusive to anybody.

In short, it doesn't look like it matters where you buy it but that's not always the case.

"Dawn" goes blu on Tuesday.

the general release. Any exclusives are just packaging. So what's the
choice?

Walmart: their exclusive looks to be a
"Rise"/"Dawn" 2-pack.

Best Buy: they've become the "metalpak" kings
with a nice metal case. But their exclusive cover art is kinda bland (black
and white of the familiar Caesar image). It also looks like their metalpak is
only for the 3D version (which includes a blu-ray for those who don't have a
3D system).

Target: They were offering a NECA Classic POTA
gorilla figure with the blu-ray but they aren't advertising it here. Might be
only with preorders and not in stores.

Then of course there's the big Caesar head
collection for about $100 but that doesn't seem exclusive to
anybody.

In short, it doesn't look like it matters where
you buy it but that's not always the case.

"Dawn" goes blu on Tuesday.

Video of about HMV's steelbook not Best Buy. Wonder if this a UK exclusive or whether it applies here (and by 'here' I mean Canada). Often these 'exclusives' do not cross international borders, even Can/US.

I'll be getting one, but not sure which. May wait until sometime after the holidays and save a few bucks. Or I might just give in and drive in a mad rush to get my stinkin' paws on it the first day.

Here's a vid that gives a good look at Best Buy's exclusive "Dawn" steelbook.

According to Target's website their deal with the NECA gorilla (with blu-ray $25) is only on preorders, not available in their stores. Too bad, that would be good publicity for NECA if some Average Joes got their hands on it ("Where can I get more of these?").

Happy hunting on Tuesday.

Here's a look at the Caesar Head blu-ray set. Is it worth the dough or is it a "bust"? Dunno, I grabbed the Best Buy steelbox before they sold out and it's a beauty. On to the blu-ray!

I like it too. But I'm going to wait until the price comes down. I cringe every time I see the Ultimate edition Caesar head for less than half the price I paid mine. (But still glad I do have it).

I like it. Unlike the classic Caesar head, the discs come in a Blu-ray case to put on your shelf and not a cardboard case. Not just Rise and Dawn but all the ape films. May consider picking it up this weekend.

The Caesar head only comes with Rise and Dawn in the U.S. The UK version has all the films.

Kevin, thank you for pointing out this: "The Caesar head only comes with Rise and Dawn in the U.S. The UK version has all the films." I was thinking of getting this, but with only two films, it's overpriced, I feel, in the US and Canada (where we get the US version).

That's true, but you're basically paying for the head (designed by WETA). Most fans already have all the movies (except maybe "Dawn"). I don't know what materials it's made from but if you can get a deal it seems pretty good considering what collectibles go for these days (Star Wars toys are going for $20 now).

Thanx for joining us, Rob.

$100 + for Rise, Dawn and a Caesar Head? Cool, I'll be placing my order as soon as I finish smoking this joint.
