Ape prototypes in Famous Monsters ad

[palitoy]

Wow, I used to have this ad as a teenager, one of the reasons I put a holster on my astronaut back then. Never really noticed the prototypes back then, very cool.

Is anyone else creeped out by the assertion "They move!"? Are we to infer that these 'Planet Flexible of the Apes Figures' are animatronic... or imbued with supernatural powers?

Heh. Yeah, I know it's a stretch, but what the heck -- it's Halloween!

lol!
It's true, it would be like Childs Play but with Mego Ape's instead!
Any way, nice find, I think the Zauis looks better than the regular one, too bad I can't get my hands on it.

That is an incredible find, thank you for sharing!!!

That's VERY interesting!

I noticed the Zira, Cornelius and Zaius's head look like prototype to me.

I love prototypes! Hope I find them on eBay or any Websites.
