    Escape from POTA Ape-o-naut

    Not much of a custom, just a few bits and bobs I've cobbled together.... The jumpsuit and boots were in a job lot I got some time ago. The black details are bits of lining cloth, stuck on double sided sticky tape and cut out. Belt and gloves are Dr Mego, with a piece of tin foil on the belt buckle. Helmet is from the Hasbro Leo Davidson figure, with the bottom front section sliced away. Not a perfect match for the movie costume, but then neither were a lot of the original Mego outfits!

        Nice idea. Can't have enough Ape variations!
        Looking for redhead AJ heads (or figures) - both bearded & clean shaven (I'm trying to complete all the variations).
        Also seeking: 1 blue Soldier Ape glove, 1 General Ape boot, sun reflector from PotA Fortress playset.

          That's pretty cool, I like the simplicity of the white suit with the crisp black lines. Nicely done.

                            That's great! Looks like it could have been made by Mego back in the 70's.
