I was cleaning out my storage shed and I found my POTA figures today!

I found Cornelius, Zira, 2 Dr. Zaius, 3 Gorilla soliders, Ursus (I just got another one the other day and didn't have a outfit for him so I had a brown jumpsuit and a black jersey) Peter Burke (who needs a head the neck peice is almost torn off anyone has an extra hollar at me I have scratch!) Galen and various accessories! Some of the leg joints were broke, but the Hulk and DeRouen purchases of leg joints and CTVT 12 pack of M16's made these Apes armed and dangerous!

Only need a few more peices and I'll have all the Apes! :ape:

Again 1,000 thanks to Megomuseum for helping me see my long time friends get better and look better!

Plus I got the shed cleared out and now I'm about to get things on the ball and prepare for winter!

I'm the happiest man in the world right now! :yes:

Thank you sir!

Mos Def I'll post pics, just not tonight, too effin tired. I'm very proud of them. I got them when I was 11 or 12 from a guy for about 50 bucks about 20 years ago. God I was so scared something would have happened to them. So yes they deserve to be seen! So pics are deffinetly forthcoming!

The only thing better than finding Megos in the Wild is finding your own Megos in the Wild! Congrats, it couldn't happen to a more enthusiastic Megohead.

Congratulations. That must have been very exciting. Every time I visit my parents I still look around in the basement hoping I might find my old GI Joes or some other long lost treasures even though deep down I know that most of them are long gone.

That's GREAT news!!!!

I'm glad you found them, can't wait to see your Ape figures!!!! :grin:

I remember I saw a Corny in the bedroom by the storage and I played with him in the mild '70s at my parent's friend's house with their Sons. I wish I have all of P.O.T.A figures, Treehouse and Fortress Playset for my Christmas presents.........

Thanks guys! I'm now on the hunt to restore them now, besides my Robin, Bo Duke and my "Die Cast Hulk", are the few things I was most worried about loosing after the fall of my house. So now I have 3 more things to hunt for but this was a BIG one! As soon as I have a day to myself the pics will be posted! Thanks again everyone for the kind words!
