    Pistols of the Apes


    Mattel got some mileage out of their popular line of Western and Machine guns by adding a Gorilla mask and Planet of the Apes logo to them. While these aren't accurate to the movies, toys far weirder than these saw release.
    If you still have these from childhood, I recall reading that they're really desirable these days.

    I saw these in a '74 Montgomery Wards catalog. I like the mask.

      I could swear I've seen that rifle somewhere. Maybe FX.

            Has the mask & tommy burst set as a kid. I would LOVE to add it to my collection, but yes, very hard to find, and super pricey when they do turn up.

              I REMEMBER THOSE...!! I even remember showing my Mom this, asking if I could get 'em.

              It was the most brilliant way to sell excess toy rifle warehouse stock at the time.., just slap on a POTA sticker and add a cheap Ape mask.
