Saw this collectable in the London Movie Store today carrying a very hefty price tag.

So, Planet of the Apes afficiandos, spot the HUGE error.....

The gun isn't in his hand? ("Cold dead fingers" and all)

At first I thought it looked like Dodge, but I honestly don't know.

My name is Tay-lor!

I don't remember a gun in the film. Need to trade it in for some cubans!

Edit: I think it's the wrong figurine in the box. Mr Phelps may have got it right.

I'm just guessing:

Could it be his rank is wrong?

Yeah either the gun or rank. Not sure what else it could be though.

I think the mistake is that they fired off the biggest spoiler in POTA history. They put the Statue right on the box.

Yeah, was he not Captain or Colonel or some army rank?

How about only 11 of the 13 stripes on the American flag? Or did those goddamn dirty apes get 'em?

Is it that he doesn't wear that costume throughout most of the film?

Or that he has green hair?*




*(meaning the second photo)

What's wrong with this picture?

-> That grown men shouldn't play with commander Taylor action figures? big grin

Heh heh - I like this answer much more than my own, which is that it doesn't mention Jerry Goldsmith on the box.

"ANSA" instead of "NASA" patch on it's shirt.

I see "ANSA" for the character bio' over at IMDb, too. Apparently the toy maker isn't too bright.

By the way, the IMDb bio shows he's not a commander.

Not to be a smart aleck, but is the riddle posed about the error in the picture or the toy?

This toy looks much different from the first picture. If I'm correct, the toy in the first post is the HASBRO action figure from 1999, which is available for ~$10.00 on ebay. Is this toy different from that one? Certainly in the first picture the toy doesn't look much like Taylor.

Not known for my affinity with these films, so I could be way of beam, but is it the wrong "Planet of the Apes" font?

Taylor did have a pistol in the survival pack he brought with him from the spaceship.

Actually it was ANSA in the first 3 Apes movies
