Planet of the Apes - Dr. Zaius figure, Mini Epics

In Planet of the Apes, Dr. Zaius is a fascinating and deeply conflicted figure — part science authority, part guardian of orthodoxy. This Mini Epics vinyl figure captures his complexity in full: the firm stance, intense gaze, and staff in hand all speak of authority cloaked in secrets. He knows more than he lets on, and that tension lives in every sculpted detail.

The 1968 film became an instant sci-fi classic thanks to its bold concept, unforgettable ending, and biting social commentary. More than just a tale of role reversal between man and ape, it held a mirror to humanity’s fears, power structures, and blind spots — and continues to resonate decades later.

Crafted by Weta Workshop, this stylized 13 cm figure blends retro charm with playful exaggeration. The vibrant orange robe, symbolic chest panel, soft yellow mane, and gnarled staff bring out the unique silhouette of Dr. Zaius, while honoring the film’s distinct aesthetic. The vinyl sculpt is crisp, expressive, and unmistakably Weta — made by fans, for fans.

A perfect collectible for those who love thoughtful sci-fi with a legacy, and for anyone building a shelf that tells stories.
