Back Story of the Sixth-Scale Astronaut Taylor from Sideshow Collectibles
Cynical, misanthropic and unsentimental, the cigar smoking, tough-talking astronaut Commander Taylor is a man who lives for the moment. He launched from Cape Kennedy with no regrets, hoping to find a new breed better than our own. Taylor has no interest in being the Hero, he just wants to live in a world where man doesn't wage war, and doesn't keep his neighbor's children starving. Underneath it all, Taylor is an idealist. After a six month mission into deep space Taylor and crew abruptly awake from their hibernation to find that their ship has splashed down on an unknown planet some 200 years in the future! The surviving crew makes a frantic escape from their sinking ship only to realize that they are now marooned on this unfamiliar place. After trekking for some distance through barren and hostile landscapes, the crew is captured by a group of marauding Gorillas! All too soon the crew discovers that on this planet, apes are the intelligent, dominant species, and man is little more than vermin only to be hunter, experimented upon and exterminated.
