Mego Planet of the Apes?

[MEGOMAN]

No, he's here in Southern California by me. He does a lot of buisness all over. Trust me, Rebel Toy is a friend to have in the world of Mego.

[Galen]

Do they sell Any POTA Mego's?

[MEGOMAN]

I just bought a handfull of Apes a couple of weeks before Christmas. Call Chet and talk to him. He gets different Mego all of the time. If you tell him what you need he will help you out. rebeltoy.com

[Galen]

Wait...Am I calling him with a phone? If so wouldn't it be long distance? :P

[MEGOMAN]

Yes, from Canada it will be long distance. If that is a problem just send him an e-mail. It is on his web site. You can tell him that I recommended you.

[Galen]

Ok. Thank you very much! You and Jessica have just helped me take a step into the world of being a Mego collector.. thanks guys..

My friend with Rebel Toy is a great sorce for Mego. I've known them for a long time. Go to rebeltoy.com . They have their number their to call. Ask for Chet. He can help you with Mego bodies.

It's cool you had good luck with Rebel Toy, but I always found them to be overpriced and they're not exactly easy to deal with if an order gets messed up... I think newbie "Galen" would be better off trying MARKETPLACE on here, or eBay...

[MEGOMAN]

Wow, I've never heard that about them before. I've bought many Mego items from them and had no problems.

You need to talk to Doc Mego at Dr. Mego's Repros. Doc has reproduction Mego bodies made in china and is the source for that kind of stuff. He's also one of the folks responsible for creating the EMCE POTA reproduction figures and has created several reproduction POTA parts to complete your figures if you need them.

If it's original bodies you seek, either post in Marketplace here at the forums, or go to ebay and look for lots of beat up megos, then strip them down for the bodies. That's always been the best and least expensive way I've found to gather original bodies.

[Galen]

I agree. $49.99 for Ape Soldiers is a bit overpriced. Unless they're in perfect condition.

I got my first mego's for $10.00 in October or November.

I am sure that eventually Doc Mego will be able to sell Ape style bodies (just as he sells the trek boot body). The only thing I can offer is repro and custom packaging for Mego POTA figures.

I'm not sure if you are aware that for original Mego, you will be finding 2 body styles for Ape figures (Type 1 and Type 2). You are most likely to find Solider Ape, Cornelius, Zaius and Astronaut on Type 1 bodies (with the hinge jointed hands). Sometimes you will find a type 1 body that is loose or floppy. This is something that is easily corrected by restringing the elastic (instructions are here at the museum) but could save you money in the initial purchase.
