DAVE BALLARD'S PLANET OF THE APES
JAPANESE MOVIE POSTERS

Dave found these and sent me the images, they were the best that he could do as the examples were tiny to begin with.  If anyone has copies of these posters or better, larger scans, please submit them.

You'll notice that the "Icarus" plays a prominent role in each of the posters, and in two it is depicted in flight.  This is in direct contrast to where it never received any attention on any of the American posters.  Perhaps the Japanese will introduce more detailed models of this often overlooked spacecraft.  We know that Kubrick is building the Ape sets and Medicom is building the POTA figures.  Perhaps an "Icarus" or two isn't too much to hope for from the Pacific Rim.
