NECA - Planet of the Apes

[Sachiel]

Wow, from what Randy Falk said in the You Tube interview he plans to cover the whole universe, "the next Predator line." That will be deep! I can imagine so many possible play sets. Maybe an ape city?

No?

I agree with IM.

I have been focusing on 1/6. I have been "scaling" back on other options.

I don't believe it is possible to have to many 1/6 scale apes in my collection.

No?

Yikes

But if they do, only one just for you.

Here are a few of the gorillas and chimps I owned.



I too once thought you couldn't have too many apes but then my collection grew so large i couldn't display them all and that was a real shame so I sold them. I would prefer a smaller scale so more accessories could be made like the city, museum, tribunal room, statue. slave wagon, market, Icarus etc.


DP, I love the shot of your gorilla garrison, are those your sculpts or did you get a few from Angel of Music who used to visit here?

 

[jungle jom]

I had forgotten how great your collection was, and those great dios you constructed on such a large scale.

At least you have some great shots to remember them by.

 

[Irvy]

Really wanted sideshow to give us some PF's from the new movies but I'll take all that I can get from neca.

 

[stickman]

As Always a big thank you JJ. You were part of the process, and everyone else connected to the Ape Forum. So much support. I hope to one day again arise from whence I came.

 

[The_Darkness_Predator]

That setup of your is awesome.

I bought several from AngelofMusic and I bash a lot (I can't really sculpt).

As much as I want 1/6 scale, there are some good points about the smaller 6" figure scale.

oh, and here is proof that I would buy more 1/6 scale NECA 1/6 apes.

some say I have a problem....

 

[stickman]

Wow, I love the picture DP awesome group shot. Thank you so much for sharing.

 

[K07]

I'm in. I would love a display cabinet large enough to accommodate my Mego, Hasbro, SSC, Medicom, and future Neca collections. PotA is my all-time favorite SciFi movie. That is if you agree SW is a fantasy set in space.

 

[ProgMatinee]

LOL. That is like 5000 worth of apes right there.

 

[Ironman1188]

Looks great, DP!
I haven't gotten to a new group picture yet

Its at least 3X this size now, with more gorillas, customs and some Hot Toys.
NECA 1:6 would be most welcomed must haves for me.

Wow that's brilliant!

Very cool horse there DP, is that a MARX horse? If only it were a hand or two taller it would be perfect. Great detail.

IM- You need to get rid of your horse that mane is terrible. lol

Here is a picture of my wagon and Dragon DML horse

 

[Ironman1188]

The horse will stay. I am, although, looking into ways to mold hair onto the neck without restricting movement.
Afterall, Urko needs his white steed, and Taylor/Nova, Ursus, Zaius, .... aw hell the whole gorilla army!

You are the only one If ever known who bought those Ape Joes. Boy seeing those really takes me back... I remember really wanting to buy a few but simply could not afford it. The world of 12"ers has changed so much since then.

Would love to see an updated picture of your entire garrison sometime, IM!

 

[Protozaius]

You can repost your pix anytime, Sticks... I LOVE the way you light your shots!

 

[Ironman1188]

Thanks PZ. They were the only 12" apes in town back in the day. I still remember seeing the ad in the old "Toy Shop" newspaper.
And yes, things have certainly changed since then.

 

[stickman]

Thanks PZ! I'm not sure if you ever saw this one but here is another I took of the wagon. I was kinda hoping to pull out a few figures today and maybe shoot outside but the weather looks awful outside and is looking like it is about to pour. Anyways here is another shot.

 

[Ironman1188]

I was considering doing the same thing Sticks. I thought a new group shot in the elements would be cool but, even though the weather says its not supposed to rain, the last thing I want is to get caught in a complete downpour with all of my POTA items outside.
Does make me wish I kept all the old photography studio equipment I had, but I don't think it survived when I last moved.
Everytime I see someone's pics with those wagons, I really think its time to break out those old measurements and just see if I can make one out of wood.

Yeah, I don't think I have this one. I have a thumb drive where I've stored all of the pictures you posted over the years. Just beautiful work. I need to find it because I showed my son, who has since become a MAJOR POTA fan, your shots and he when APE for them and he wants to see MORE.

I would love to see the more Hot Toys Gorillas in your future work.
