Cool video! Makes me want to re-collect a treehouse for my apes

[TrekStar]

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.

Absolutely love seeing that awesome group of Ape-prototypes every time! I still remain jealous of those kids!

It makes sense that Mego would have the Treehouse ready before the figures.

I guess Tarzan was never a good enough seller to warrant a WGSH version of the Treehouse? Too bad!

Great video as always!

As a kid, I had little interest in my flesh-PJ'ed Tarzan.

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.

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.

As a kid, I just wanted to see Tarzan, really badly. He was out of stock at every store, I remember my sister telling me about the pajamas. That did not deter me.

[Werewolf]

Wow, I would have guessed the Enterprise was the best selling playset. It's the only one I ever remember seeing as a kid.

[Nostalgiabuff]

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 up
