    Looking to collect POTA figures. Any Advice?

    I know there are a lot of experts here. I've always been fascinated by these even though I mostly collect Trek Megos. I would appreciate any advice anyone has for me as I begin collecting these cool figures.

    Thanks!

    Keep your eyes open for a good Astronaut. They are not as plentifull as they used to be. Don't forget that there's 5 basic variations on the Soldier Ape. Oh yah, watch for a Cornelius with the shiny green head!!

        There are Zira figures out there with Metallic green hair as well. And don't forget about the brown clothing versions of Zira and Corny/Galen. Look in the galleries for all of the variations, the most complete info you will find is there.

            excellent advise!! Especially considering I have about 20 apes more than I need and I should have a desk cleaning sale soon.

            seriously tho; good advice to play around in the galleries. You can get lost in there for days. Have a GOOD time.

              Thanks for the help everyone! I checked out the galleries last night and learned a bit. Thanks to everyone that posted!

              I have one question: are the brown clothing apes more rare or less rare?

              Thanks! I love this place!

                Brown clothing Zira and Corny/Galen are quite a bit rarer than the regular clothing, but not impossible to find

                  Donkey Hoatie won this in my last round of Mego Bingo. Not sure if he collects POTA. You might want to shoot him a PM and see if he intends to sell it or not. He might have already sold it as that was a few months ago.

                    That is really nice but I'm sure that I cannot afford it on card. All of my Apes are loose anyway. I'd like to have her loose instead. But thank you!!
