Summary
Dr. Zaius stands out as the inaugural figure from the Planet of the Apes franchise within the One:12 Collective line, showcasing meticulous attention to detail in both sculpting and soft goods. His dual head sculpts, representing his character's authoritative demeanor, and an impressive array of accessories—including the functional Sacred Scrolls and a miniature Lawgiver statue—enhance his appeal. The figure features an unexpectedly high level of articulation for a character known for a more static presence, allowing for a variety of display options while maintaining a faithful representation of the iconic character.

Reviews
Pros
- Two highly detailed, hand-painted interchangeable head portraits, one with an expressive open mouth.
- Exceptional sculpt with intricate detailing, especially in the facial features and hair.
- Excellent articulation, including double-jointed elbows and ball-jointed ankles, allowing for a variety of poses despite the bulkiness of the costume.
- Multi-layered soft goods costume with impressive tailoring, including a tunic shirt, embossed overcoat, and pleated pants.
- Sculpted ape fur detail on the forearms enhances realism.
- Extensive accessory set includes 12 interchangeable hands, a walking cane, a human doll, a paper airplane, two functional Sacred Scrolls with readable inscriptions, a miniature Lawgiver statue, and a display base with an adjustable post.
- Subtle, realistic paint applications on the figure, particularly on the face and hair.
Cons
- Costume has slight puffiness and minor scale/color inaccuracies, such as a lighter lapel color and pronounced toes on sandals.
- Bulkiness of the layered soft goods limits full range of torso and ankle articulation, making it difficult to achieve a fully crouched or hunched ape stance.
- Reports of minor joint looseness in the left elbow out of the box affecting durability.
- Two Sacred Scrolls are identical in text, limiting variety in accessories.
- Slightly bright orange tone on the fur and costume materials may not match screen accuracy perfectly.
