  That Palisades board is having controversy over that "blind" packaging thing.  http://www.palisadestoys.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=42   . I agree, it will probably hurt the line. If someone wants a Zauis they can't just walk into Toys 'R Us and buy a Zauis. They'll buy 3 Ape packages and get two Corneliuses and a Nova. But they wanted Zauis. Do they go back and buy some more to try their luck? Or do they say, "@&%# it! I'm going to collect "Smallville" instead". Or do they trade with Rory, who has 12 Zauises but no Novas?

  I was hoping this Palisades stuff would be a way to get POTA back into the mainstream, like their Muppets line. But that doesn't look like the way they're going to go. It will be hard for casual buyers to hook into the line.

  Hello? I feel like I'm talking to myself (more than usual). Is anyone here? Oh, I see. The silent treatment. I get it. That's fine. You don't have to talk to me. But I'm not trading my Zauis. Oh, look. I have a booger. - - - Jeff

Ok, if I understand this right, you're talking sort of a grab bag?
You don't know what you're getting until you've bought it? Sounds
like something you'd run into at a Bazaar or charity fund raiser --
not a sensible marketing ploy. Aren't these tricks used to talk a
young kid out of their allowance? In any case, I don't have money
kicking around to spend on grab bags. Too bad. I hope they don't do
it.

Yes, it must have occurred to them. I, personally, have written to
them three times suggesting it!!

I wonder...

Has anyone ever gotten a reply from them -- either by email or snail
mail -- for inquiries about future additions to the POTA line?
Especially in reference to the TV Series letters?

I've never received a reply to any of my letters -- email or
otherwise. And I did send a letter about the TV Series characters
by snail mail.

The Suite Life of Zack and Cody....

My five-year-old just came running up from the living room to tell me
about this show (which I know nothing about). Anyway, on this show
apparently the people that work there are pretending that there are
apes loose in the Tipton Hotel. One of the women screams, "Get your
stinking paws off me you dirty ape!"

Anyway, my five-year-old is a HUGE Apes fan. She was so excited to
hear this reference that she is talking into her Princess phone
saying "I know you Zack. Cody! Get your stinking paws off me you
dirty ape!"

-- Maybe not. With the figure they already have the head sculpt which
they probably just put on a cheaply mass produced generic body which
they can then sell for an awful lot more than they would be able to
charge for an outfit pack (probably also cheaply made in some Asian
sweat shop!)

It probably comes down to how much they can sell the things for. If
they could make more of a profit by just selling the outfits they
would be crazy to not be doing it.

After a bit of banter and discussion the other day we decided to come up with a new concept for the group. A folder has been created in the files section called Uncle Manny's Musings:

http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/PotaDG/files/Uncle%20Manny%27s%20Musings/

 

Hopefully members will be inspired to contribute their wise/funny/thoughtful or just downright wacky reflections.

If anyone has anything they want immortalised by good old Uncle Manny just send it to me and I will see that it is shared with the group (if it is deemed worthy!).

Please be aware though that Uncle Manny has the final say on what is and isn't acceptable. ;-)

 

The first page is available for viewing now:

Apes obsession. I don't buy the sideshow because they cost too much.
The Medicom were cool and priced where I could keep a set in the
package for me, and I bought about 10 core figures that my son plays
with. This is a nightmare! I was really looking foward to going to
the store and buying my set and letting my son pick up a new figure
every now and then for his collection. Most Apes fans are going to be
adults, not kids trading figures with their friends. The only up-side
is that when these tank, they will be cheap on ebay, but the line
won't last more than one series and that SUCKS! There is still time
for them to fix this grave error and I hope we can convince them
before they get too involved with the project to change anything. I
feel like Sally Struthers. "Won't you help?"

Sealed packaging sucks is right.

There have been times I would

Hello Helen
Thought I would let you know that it has been a while since I asked
them if there were plans on a TV series Ape line but the time I did
I did get a response telling me that they would forward my request
on to the department that made the decesions. BUT, when they were at
Toy Fair I asked one of thier reps on their Toy Fair chat about
future TV Ape releases and he said that the Ape line was selling, in
his opinion, very well and if enough people showed an interest that
it would be possible because they have the license to do the TV
series. So, all we can do is flood their office.
What do you think about their Caesar? I asked him why didn't they do
a sculpt that looked more like Caesar instead of using the Cornelius
head. He said that is was a differnt sculpt and I told him to take a
close look because it wasn't. So, according to his suggestion, I
sent a email telling them their was a difference and even sent
pictures and asked them to do a new sculpt. I never heard backi from
them.

I just wrote this:

 

OK - so you are starting with Planet of the Apes (POTA) the movie - the first mvie in the series.

 

The packaging idea is, IMHO, going to hurt sales.

 

I am an active POTA fan and I own the most popular Yahoo chat group where we hold many and frequent chats on the topic.  I pay thousands for single vintage POTA items and it pains me to see Medicoms of POTA selling for $1.99.

 

People want to see something new.  And a very popular option is a 3-pack with the 3 orangutans (who do the "see no evil, hear no evil" pose) and complete with desk, chairs, backdrop etc.

 

Medicom did Licuis, but nobody (except one excellent independent artist) ever tried Julius.  Or Doctor Galen, another chimp doctor (no, not the Galen from the TV Show!).  Or the other 4 Astronauts.  Or an Icarus ship to place them in.

 

Mego gave us a horse and some playsets but man they were lame!

 

And while Sidesow sucks us dry with new dollies sporting different accesories and or clothing - did it ever occur to them to just sell separate outfits?  I realise you probably won't have separate clothing (or will you?!??!), but maybe interchangable parts would be a fun way to get two outfits for one character.

 

I hope you also get to the TV Show and even the Cartoon (Return to the POTA).  Don't bother with the Burton mistake though - eh?

 

Can't wait to see what you guys do - please let me know if you want help and or ideas.

 

Cheers from Australia

  I stumbled onto a message board where you can ask questions to Palisades about their upcoming POTA toys (YOU can ask; I'm too shy). So far here's what they said:

  They'll start arriving the first part of 2006; they haven't even started sculpting yet.

  They will have "blind" packaging (you won't know what figure you're getting, thus you'll have to spend and spend to get the one you want)

  They say they can do anything from the first film with "options on the others"; they have likeness rights

  The first batch will be 9 - 12 figures

You have it right except they are selling at stores.

 

And there will be no mutants - it will be the first POTA movie first with (supposedly) around 12 figures.

 

I am going to suggest to them that they do the following figures and DRASTICALLY re-think the packaging:

 

Taylor in ANSA suit - packaged in a suspended animation chamber (that inserts into an ICARUS available separately).

Dodge in ANSA suit - packaged in a suspended animation chamber (that inserts into an ICARUS available separately).

Landon in ANSA suit - packaged in a suspended animation chamber (that inserts into an ICARUS available separately).

Stewart in ANSA suit - packaged in a suspended animation chamber (that inserts into an ICARUS available separately).

Dr Galen - packaged with Operating Table.

Julius - packaged in a "cage" playset with hose, interchangable body parts to adapt your Taylor (or a second ragged Taylor).

Nova - Packaged in a cart that can be attached to horse.

Gorilla Soldier - Packaged with a horse (that can have the cart above attached to it).

Zira, Cornelius, Lucius 3 pack in the "veterinary" hopital with interchangable doctor's whites.

Zaius + other committee members in 3 pack with tables, chairs, with backdrop.

 

What do people think of these?

I'm confused. The Palisade figures will be in a certain package where one cannot see the character being purchased? Is that legal? Are these going to be grab bags at county fairs? I would probably end up buying all mutants. Elaine

  Here's some pics of Palisades' "Army of Darkness" 4" line. Kinda of similar to POTA, an adventure movie franchise, same size. These sell more at collector's outlets like Tower and on line. Not the Toys 'R us level I was hoping for.  http://www.palisadestoys.com/features/AOD/figures.htm  .

There'd be some of the "Sideshow syndrome" involved here, because you'd be duplicating some... With Taylor, you'd almost have to have two versions (bearded and unbearded) even if they'd go the interchangeable route... While I don't mind that idea, in his case it would almost be a neccessity... As far as where you'd get into duplicating, the astronauts come to mind... Would they be bearded or unbearded, and in the case of Stewart, would she be the "mummified" version or the unaged version, those are variables to consider... With the chimp "three pack" at no time did they ever show those three in "doctor's whites" so I'm not sure where you came up with that idea... As far as the orangutan "three pack" you'd really need to make it a four pack, because in the court scene, there were four orangs (Dr. Maximus, Dr. Honorius, Dr. Zaius, and President of the Assembly. It'd work as a three pack if you made Zaius available seperately and did the others as the three pack.)

I'd prefer to see a Stewart figure included as part of the ship, rather than her own figure... Replace the Stewart with another gorilla like The Hunt Leader... Maybe do the astronauts as a three pack too or just drop the idea of doing them all and just stick with Taylor... Clearing away the astronauts would make room for more gorillas, which is what a lot of people seem to want anyway (after reading the posts on their sight...)

Yes, I agree.

 

With Taylor there are 2 Taylors - one astro and one captive.

 

So a quick shuffle.......put Astro Taylor in the suspended animation chamber and wild Taylor in a 2-pack with Nova and they can the cart I mentioned.

 

Adjustments to lost made below.

I'd stick to the Astros being in the chambers so unbearded and Stewart mummified.

They do wake up bearded though, and at the time they wake up, Stewart is mummified... You'd need the guys bearded if you went with a mummified Stewart or it wouldn't make sense...<.html <.html

After a bit of banter and discussion the other day we decided to come up with a new concept for the group. A folder has been created in the files section called Uncle Manny's Musings:

Uncle Manny!  Uncle Manny is evil, capable of nothing but destruction!

Fox (and Richard Zanuck) only did POTA because they wanted to keep Jacobs happy. They only did "Star Wars" because they liked George Lucas. Don't give them too much credit. - - - Jeff

Fox did POTA because Jabobs showed them how FANTASTIC VOYAGE had "legs."  They did STAR WARS partly because they'd done APES, but the Fox of yesteryear isn't the Fox of today.  The Fox of today is the one that sucks, BIG TIME!
