What can I say. One of the best Apes in the Planet of the Apes series is Dr. Zaius. He was parodied on the Simpsons, he is one of the prettier apes, he was the boss,and he was played by Samanta Stevens Father, Maurice Evans. The figure looks like him, the detail is fantastic, the closthing is a dead ringer for the movie costumes, a great addition to the Sideshow Planet of the Apes collection.

I have seen this movie so many times I'd know the differnce between Boothe Coleman's Dr. Z and Maurice Even's version. Of course, I'd like to have the series array as well, especially Mark Lenard's Urko "I've read something about that, you take the brain and wash it in cool water then place it back in the skull!" Priceless comedy about "washing brains". Mauice E was the tops for the movie and all Ape ology as far as his performance but Mister C. is also comemorable! As is James Gregory's belicose yet simpathetic to his cause type General Urko and Mark Lenard's more flamboyant version. Boothe Coleman and Maurice Evens were so much alike it was often mistaken for being the same actor under that guise. Evans downplays it more Coleman is like the uptighter version like not wanting one to 'go through his stuff"(like me!).
