New Mego Acquisitions? Got any?

[cjefferys]

Nice one, I love that card artwork and the price was certainly right. But why on earth would someone keep the figure unopened but throw darts at it?? That's a new one to me.

The lady selling it said she found it in her loft burried under a load of other junk. I guess Galen was unpopular with her kids hence the target practice.
Looking closely though I think the plastic has been pierced with something like a dart but done with a bit more precision than actually throwing a dart - otherwise I would expect holes on the card too - the figure and card behind the bubble are undamaged and you'd expect at least to see holes all the way through and cracks around the holes considering how hard you need to throw a dart.

^^^^Maybe they were miffed when they found out Mego just slapped Cornelius in a new package and called him Galen?


"Hey! We already have this guy! Toss him in the attic. Wait! Let me poke a hole in it first!"

Boring old Galen - no gun, no knife. Could've been worse - imagine what they would have done to Zira.

Hey Rich,
That beach house is neat and a pool! Can my megos come swimming?

Just imagine if the apes had gone to a third wave?
Caesar (hmm, a 3rd Cornelius now, lol)
Aldo (Urko no helmet)
Lisa (Zira)
MacDonald (re-release of black AJ?)
Virgil (Zaius?)

Looking back it was the 25th June when I last posted in this thread, so it's nice to add this today.

Flickr Photo Download: Planet Of The Apes Palitoy Galen

He's a bit dog eared and clearly wasn't very popular with his previous owner as he's had darts thrown at him, but for £30 (less than $50) i'm not complaining - it's a Palitoy Ape after all

Poor little guy, looks like he took a few in the crotch.

A Mego mountain - I like it, and a good game of guess who's in the pile.

Love the Force Commander and the "Mego Man Pile" guys, that's real cool stuff.
