Back Story of the Sixth-Scale Exclusive General Ursus from Sideshow Collectibles
Tall and imperious in his black leather uniform, the ruthless General Ursus is the most feared Gorilla in Ape City. He commands the Ape Armyy with a zealous fervor, bent on invasion and the gain of total power. Using the words of the holy Lawgiver to justify his hatred fr humans, he views them as a threat to Ape existence and would gladly see them exterminated if they weren't needed more as slaves and as live target practice. His racist and power-hungry ideas are radical even for a city bread to hate humankind. He forms an alliance with Minister of Science, Dr. Zaius, using his political clout to help further his thirst for conquest. When it is discovered that the apes' food supply is getting dangerously low, foraging humans are blamed and Ursus dispatches scouts to cross the revered Forbidden Zone to reclaim new farm lands and decimate any humans in their way, including escapees Brent, Nova and Taylor. For many years, it had been religious taboo to enter the Forbidden Zone, but now the powerful rhetoric of Ursus stands to overpower the word of the Lawgiver. Many in Ape council disagree with him, but none have the courage to oppose his iron will. After eleven of his scouts fail to return from their mission to the Forbidden Zone, Ursus organizes this troops to invade. He leads the charge with Dr. Zaius by his side to fulfill what he feels is the divine right of Ape to expand their horizons, conquering new territory. They charge past the entrance to the Forbidden Zone after encountering a fiery mirage that protected it from invaders. Soon, they encounter the ruins of the New York skyline for the first time since man's downfall thousands of years ago. Ursus' brutish army breaches the subway tunnels that will lead them to Taylor, Brent and the bomb-worshipping mutated humans in a climactic showdown that will decide the very fate of the Planet of the Apes!
