Enjoyable video, I thought the Dinah mite commercial had a catchy tune. I think back in the day if I had seen the POTA Treehouse and or AJ Jungle house, I would have begged Mom to buy it for me, since it would have been perfect for my mego Tarzan.Comment

As an adult collector, I really wanted only wanted him to complete my WGSH line.
If Mego had made this into a Tarzan playset, not only would I have chased one down, in box, I would have spent oodles of time trying to find 1/9-scale animals to share it with my custom Jane figure.WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

I had no idea this was the best selling playset in Mego history. I'd have guessed the Batcave. I'm not sure I ever even saw one of these as a kid, but I did have (and loved) the Fortress. I WANT one but I'm trying to focus on reclaiming and completing WGSH (minus secret ID's) first.Comment

Wow, I would have guessed the Enterprise was the best selling playset. It's the only one I ever remember seeing as a kid.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

i would have guess Enterprise as well. i had the tree house and the fortress for the Apes and they were well loved. I never even knew about the other apes playsets, but the tree house was a mainstay. i have one now but it is really big to have set upComment
