I just received this auction win in the mail yesterday:
PLANET OF THE APES ACTION STALLION 1967 W/ BOX - eBay (item 370279707406 end time Oct-31-09 10:00:28 PDT)
I first noticed that even though it was boxed in a POTA box that the bridle was yellow like the one that came on Shadow, the Western Line's horse. But I figured that it was a case of all the parts (horse, bridle, and box) getting all jumbled over the years, but something else caught my eye as well. The hair covering the hooves is White:
The POTA horses have a brown body with a black mane and tail (like this one), but they have balck hair over the hooves:
Shadow had a brown body, but a yellow mane, tail, and hoof hair:
I checked the page or the AJ Mustang, but I did not see this combination:
It doesn't match Dinah's Golden Pal either:
So my question is: what exactly do I have? I'd say it's likely a variant of the AJ Mustang stuffed in a POTA Stallion box, but that's just a guess. I does have the lighter brown body and yellow bridle that you find on Shadow and the Mustang variant, but it also has the black mane and tail you find on the POTA Stallion, and the white hoof hair found only on the Black Mustang variant and Dinah's Golden Pal.
Has anyone seen a horse like this before, or did I just stumble on another unknown variant?
Thanks,
Derek
