PLAYSETS: ACTION JACKSON JUNGLE TREEHOUSE

Action Jackson Junglehouse Box

The Jungle House box shown here was originally used in the 1974 Mego Show Room and was part of a massive find in 2008, for more on that you can check out the 1974 Showroom Find Gallery.

The Action Jackson Jungle house sold much better when Mego reincarnated it as the Planet of the Apes Treehouse, it also saw life as the Dinah Mite Beach House where is got severely funky. Mego put a lot of imagination into this well made set and many of the accesories are memorable and were later reused on other items:

The Secret Weapons bench would confuse kids in the Planet of the Apes Treehouse.

The Search Light would resurface as the bat signal in the Mego Batcave Playset.

The Vicious Monkey would plague AJ again in the 1974 release of the Lost Continent Playset

The cool Zulu Shield and Spear would also reappear in the Lost Continent Playset

The Rope ladder was reused a few times by Mego and Animal cage was put into the Lost Continent. The cabinents hid a secret radio, another feature that didn't make sense when you got your Apes treehouse, now it finally does!
