I'm a little bit shocked that we managed to get Planet of the Apes minimates before a 4K disc of the original film, but this is a real dream come true for me! I'm hopeful we can get at least a little representation from some of the other movies. In particular, I would be all in on a "Conquest of the Planet of the Apes" set of four with prison jumpsuit Caesar and Ricardo Montalban. Maybe the big gorilla from that film, or Caesar's chimp girl friend. Gosh, an entire garrison of Gorilla soldiers headed off by General Ursus in his huge, impractical headpiece would look magnificent! Maybe two or three mutant acolytes from "Beneath," Cornelius and Zira from "Escape" in their high society garb. Of course, the biggest missing piece from this set is Nova! She could easily be used to fill out a "Beneath" set with General Ursus, and some mutants.

This tickles me. Definitely two characters I would love to have. Maybe we could team up and throw some Inhumans in to fill out the other three slots! Happy Birthday, BHM!

Good line up. Solo is an inspired choice. Suited Doc Ock looks terrific, especially his maniacal, toothy grin. Deathlok will fit right in with this group. Could have taken another pass at Cyborg Spider-Man, even if that meant just including the massive arm and eye piece. Vulture really sticks out like a sore thumb. Both him and Mysterio received superlative representations recently enough that they are still accessible. Should have been a monstrous, Larsen-style Hobgoblin or a (very tiny) Gog. Also, let's make sure we know the difference between "Return of the Sinister Six" (ran through Amazing Spider-Man #334-339 and does not feature Solo) and "Revenge of the Sinister Six" (ran through adjectiveless Spider-Man #18-23 and does feature Solo).

Thunderball could be placed in a Spider-Man set, since there's precedent of him being a solo operator against the Web-Head. The Wrecker could exist by himself in a classic Thor set with other 60s-era Thor characters like Absorbing Man, Enchantress/Executioner, King Cobra, Radioactive Man, etc. Then Bulldozer and Piledriver could either be in a Masters of Evil vs Avengers set (think the "Under Siege" era) or maybe split across a series of Secret Wars sets? Of course, Thor vs Wrecking Crew is a much more efficient way to get the team, but this way seems more fun and gets us even more potential for new/improved characters!

I'd be very interested in Neutrinos and definitely Triceratons, General Traag et al And I'm going to say this for as long as I need to: WRESTLING TURTLES and MIGHTY MUTANIMALS

Is this an original character? Great usage of the Doctor Minn-Erva piece.

Steve Gerber Defenders?

Ramona Fradon would be proud!

I think I've got it right down the middle: Horsemen of Apocalypse.

I could definitely see a "Marvel Monsters" release with some of the spooky characters from the 70s. Dracula Man-Thing Brother Voodoo Ghost Rider (Johnny Blaze) Hellstrom Ghost Rider's motorcycle as the pack-in.

Starjammers! Please!

I love Darkchylde. I really wish she had Satyr legs, but she's otherwise brilliant. N'astirh looks like a great feat of engineering as well. Very curious to see how he turns out.

Star Trek TOS characters have a separate cuff piece.

A little miffed that it's three re-paints of a figure-type we already have three times, but the animated Shockwave kinda makes up for it!
