War for the Planet of the Apes POP! Action Figures

Growing up, I was a big fan of the original Planet of the Apes movies, and I watched reruns of the short lived TV series too. I have seen most of the new films, but despite the great reviews, they don’t really stack up to the old ones in my book. With War for the Planet of the Apes duo out today, it’s time for all the movie tie-ins to begin.

You can now get your stinking paws on a damn dirty Funko POP! vinyl figure of Caesar, the superintelligent, badass leader of the apes.

He’s got a shotgun, and man he looks pissed. You can grab this guy over at Amazon for $10.99 (or less). They’ve also got POP! figures of Maurice and Bad Ape if you want to build a collection of apes.

Watch a Man Turn into an Ape in Three Minutes

If you want to see man evolve into apes like the ones in the original Planet of the Apes, check out this time-lapse video, in which Emily Van Tassel transforms an ordinary man into an ape. Damn dirty apes! Damn dirty makeup artists.

What is amazing is how good it looks and that Emily isn’t even a professional makeup artist. She should be. That is some talented ape-making. This makes me look forward to more ape movies. The makeup in Tim Burton’s stupid Planet of the Apes movie was good, and the CGI in the recent flicks is impressive, but this is closer to the original movies, in that more of the person underneath shows through, and that gives more personality to the apes.

Awesome job, Emily!
