Portrayed by Maurice Evans in the groundbreaking 1968 science fiction masterpiece Planet of the Apes, Dr. Zaius stands as one of cinema's most complex and memorable characters. As the orangutan leader who knows the terrible truth about humanity's past, Zaius represents both wisdom and the dangerous suppression of knowledge.

Dr. Zaius, with his flowing robes and stern demeanor, became the face of simian authority—a leader torn between protecting his society and confronting uncomfortable truths. Whether delivering warnings about the Forbidden Zone or presiding over the tribunal that condemns astronaut Taylor, Zaius commanded every scene with gravitas and intelligence. This Legacy Series figure recreates his distinctive look with meticulous attention to detail, from his orange fur and wise expression to his ceremonial robes and accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eItem Specifics:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e NECA (National Entertainment Collectibles Association)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Planet of the Apes Legacy Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dr. Zaius (Minister of Science and Chief Defender of the Faith)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maurice Evans\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 inches (Legacy Series standard scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Action Figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArticulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully articulated with multiple points of movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Character-specific accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 634482299821 (part of Legacy Series assortment)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New \u0026amp; Factory Sealed in Window Box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Collector-friendly window box packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Age Group:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14+\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStudio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20th Century Studios\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTheme:\u003c\/strong\u003e Classic Science Fiction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e China\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGoogle Category:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6058 - Action \u0026amp; Toy Figures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe NECA Planet of the Apes Legacy Series Dr. Zaius 7-Inch Scale Action Figure is a must-have for collectors of classic science fiction cinema.
