Ooooh, Rock for Dr. Zaius! NECA Unveils Planet of the Apes Lawgiver
 |
As part of the 7″ figure line for the original Planet of the Apes movies, NECA just revealed a diorama piece for the line – this 12″ statue of the Lawgiver, in front of which Dr. Zaius can pontificate his orang-utanny heart out.
I’m going to hold out for a bleeding variant, myself. As much as I like the Apes, I fear we’re never getting the removable-face mutants or Charlton Heston that would make the line complete.
The cool thing about a Heston toy would be that you could constantly take weapons from his cold, dead hands. And then put them back. Or replace them with Lego.
UPDATE: NECA responded to my query…
“@LYTrules: @NECA_TOYS Bloody variant as an exclusive, maybe?” Only IF this version does well & sells out quickly
