    Planet of the Apes Store Appearance 1975


    Scott W sent in this amazing shot of him at a Long Island Planet of the Apes appearance at a toy store. Check out the stacks of Mego Treehouse playsets behind Cornelius.

    Thanks to Scott for sharing this truly amazing memory!

      Man, that is cool.

      Makes me long for a good old fashioned toy store. Not too many of those left in brick and mortar. They should be on the endangered species list.

          Oh my that is wonderful. My kids (2 and 4) wanted me to get out my Treehouse last weekend and I honestly coudln't remember how it went together. I has been probably 30 years since I put it together last. I promised dad would get instructions and we'd try again soon.

                    Wow, the photo is in such great shape. Corneilus looks like stardom has been treating him pretty well around the waist

                    Are those Mickey Mouse gumball machines on the shelves to the right?
