I'd love to see a range of figures covering the original Planet of the Apes films!

This is always going to be a tricky one with the copyright issues.  Have you seen the new range of Samurai Apes we released last month?

These could probably be used?  There are no mounted on horse types, but the tiger-rider comes as two separate pieces, so you could always stick him on a horse if you wanted to?

I did receive a pack of each of the new Samurai Apes. They are lovely castings, but not right for Planet of the Apes.

Surely some apes with guns and generic body armour would be good enough?

Samurai armoured creatures appears to be all the rage. Check out "http://theminiaturespage.com/news/507946/" for a Guinea Pig version  :o

I saw the guinea pigs yesterday and thought they were excellent!
