Pictures of the Ape Attacks figures added to the photo section,not the best quality but between John's focussed pictures and these you should get the idea what they look like :)

I've also got two figures which are more like Neil's, though not any of the one's pictured, but not sure what the blister pack was like as I removed them.

All bought from a cheap/ remainder store for about a £1 each.

Best,Graham.

Thanks to all who posted the new pictures.

I know that it is fundamentally wrong for me to even like these damn
knockoffs as they are a bastardization and exploitation of POTA, not
to mention pure commercialism and profit oriented. But I can't get
over the fact that I would love to find some of these some day. The
fact that there were dollar store fodder makes it even worse!

*** I recall hearing about some figures like what you described below...
Except the ones I heard of had the artwork from the Addar model kits and had
them armed (for instance, a rifle was drawn onto Zira)... I wouldn't mind
seeing the packaging of your items if you can upload them anyway... ***

I agree! I hate to say it but I think both versions of the Apes Attacks toys are pretty great & I'd love to stumble across a full set.

Subject: [PotaDG] "Caesar" gets the green light (reportedly)

 

 Creature designer Aaron Sims says "Caesar" is finally ramping up: "I'm working on POTA, the prequel to that. Working on what the apes look like with director Rupert Wyatt. I'll find out this week where we stand because it just got the green light and a lot of the stuff I've done before was just to get the studio excited about it. Now they're all on board".

 Sims is also designing for the big superhero movie "Green Lantern" and Universal's reboot of "The Invisible Man", like the recent "Wolfman" (how hard is it to design an invisible man?).

*** I agree, and they shouldn't, it's not an APES film... At best it will
be a film with a POTA like concept... But, at least they don't seem to be
trying to directly call it APES (to try tying it in with the original
films)... ***

Hey, if they do call it Rise of the Apes we can abbreviate it to ROTA which is close to POTA.

I agree with this, especially the part about it not tying in with Zira,
Cornelius, etc.

I would rather have any new take on the concept be it's own thing.... It'd
probably be more palatable that way...

Nice looking site... I'm guessing the Caesar images will change once we
actually know what he will look like?

A time machine microwave cooker that creates time paradox if food is not cooked correctly.

I assume that by "Time Loop" you mean the theory that the timeline is
circular.

As a 'circularist' I believe that the INTENT was portray a circular
timeline in the original 5 films. I subscribe to that notion for
several reasons. One reason (and the most important) was that was how
I originally interpreted the story. Another reason is that Dehn has
stated that that was his INTENT all along. Because of the many
continuity errors in the series, the truth is that neither side can
claim their interpretation is the one and only correct one.

Now when it comes to this new movie, I really don't care what it will
posit as the 'way things happened' as it will be a creation made by
new people and will have no connection to anyone who worked on the
original series. Why would I all of a sudden bow down to their
interpretation? If anything, I think just about everyone here on these
forums have more valued opinions than anyone in hollywood now working
on the movie. Would anyone who believed in the 'alternate' or 'new'
timeline theory suddenly changed their minds if the new movie tried to
explain all the discrepancies and portray the timeline as a circular
one? I doubt it.

I will be impressed (and grateful) if they at least tried to take all
that has happened before into consideration for the new movie. But I'm
not holding my breath.

And perhaps it would be best if they did stake out a completely new
movie. I think the time has long past to realistically have another
sequel or prequel to the original classic series. Too much has
changed. Is it realistic to expect that a novie that fell right in
line with 'classic' POTA could be a hit with todays audience, most of
which would be totally clueless to the events and characters from the
old movies? Unlikely.

I don't mind having a fresh take on POTA, as long as it is a GOOD
movie and not a mindless plot like 2001. Another fiasco will undermine
what little remains of the POTA legacy. That's why news of this new
movie has been a mixed bag of feelings for me. It's going to be a long
and torturous wait to see where this movie goes.

**** I agree with you 100% on this... I don't like them throwing around the
term "prequel" to PLANET, and I'd rather see any new take on the APES name
be it's own entity... Prequels generally suck, an example of just how bad
"prequels" can be, especially if a considerable amount of time has passed are
the SW films...

I'm not one that says "We need the original characters"... What we need is
a decent film... I don't have as bad of a feeling about this new film as I
did with pota2001, but no matter what, I will look at it as it's own thing...
It's just stupid to even say this is a prequel to a 42 year old film... ***

I saw it!  SNL is really boring for me...didn't even realize it was even still on...so I stayed up.  It was goofy but it did make me laugh.  And the pullover mask was pretty bad.  The outfit was great though.  Maybe Apemania lent them the outfit and the mask.
