^ indeed, although i haven't gotten these €600 for all three works out to around £160 per figure which i'd class as pretty good for older figures

Yeah, someone here on the forum wanted 970 euros + I would've had to pay customs taxes.

Question, is 600 euros a good price for all three POTA figures brand new in box?

Tell me that that is in US dollars and I'll let you know.

By the way I have all three.

So 600 dollars would be a better price? Sounds too low...

For mint sealed boxes, yes. They,ve been out for awhile and getting all three in one hit is a chance you probably want get get again.

This thread and the one for the MMS88 Gorilla Soldier have been in the wrong section since 2008.

Surprised there's been so little interest in Hot Toys' classic Apes.

For me the original POTA films are the only POTA films. None of the other versions else came remotely close to capturing my imagination the way John Chambers' designs did.

I love these designs, but can't stomach the aftermarket price for the figures.

What surprises me more than anything is the lack of high-end merchandise for classic POTA in the last ten years. All these amazing statues and figures in various scales, but no love for Zira, Cornelius, or gorilla soldiers.

I knew I paid around £240 for all three on Ebay.

A quick search of the forum found my post from 7th January 2011, when prices were already hot (though comparatively cheap by today's standards):

Ouch. Those prices are getting hotter. I bought my Ursus, Captain and Soldier mint-boxed last July on Ebay, and paid a total of £246 delivered for the three figures. Still a lot of money for me, but well worth it.

Ursus and the Captain can be bought now on UK Ebay for £164.98 each delivered.

The arrival post from 27th July 2010:

I received the three Hot Toys gorillas today, and I just can't express how much I love these figures!

The only thing is that they really show up the Sideshow Gorilla Soldier.

The HT Gorilla Captain's box says he's a Limited Edition - does anyone know how many were released? I can't find any reliable information on numbers for these, though I did see a store claiming that Ursus was a limited edition of 1500.

Thirteen years ago I was still bemoaning the sculpt on Sideshow's gorilla.
