We just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Planet of the Apes (click here) — but there’s more to look forward to, you damn dirty apes.
Super7 is showing off updated versions of its upcoming line of 3.75-inch ReAction classic POTA figures at Toy Fair 2018:
Seriously, how cool is this?
The first wave is due in April(ish) and will feature Taylor (sans beard), Nova, Cornelius, Zira, Zaius and Ursus. Each will list for about $15 a pop.
We first saw these at Toy Fair a year ago and they were also shown on last year’s convention circuit. But they were in the unpainted/unfinished stage. This is the first real up-close look at the actual painted prototypes.
Perhaps the best part is that Super7 is also showing off unpainted prototypes for Wave 2, which is due late summer:
That’s a couple of soldier apes there, Urko from the TV show, astronaut Cornelius and a fantastic Lawgiver statue.
Oh, and get this: That mutant you see there? He comes with a removable face! Super7 has two standing there to show you the face-on/face-off effect but it’ll be one figure in the wave. (Looks like Victor Buono, too!)
Neat.
Check out more pix:
That obstruction at the bottom is a stand they added for the display. But you get the idea.
One last thing: Super7 is also planning a series of POTA drinking glasses, due this spring.
Each will list for about $10:
