POTA playset that couldnt be beat!

[Drzsmith]

Okay here goes the greatest Mego story that I have.When I was around 8 years old maybe around 1975 I received a POTAs playset.This was not an ordinary playset,my grandfather was an iron worker and worked with wood as well and he constructed out of these materials a Potas set for me.It was nearly an exact duplicate of the plastic Mego one.The main building was all wood,along the back wall was a long bench with animal print material on it,it had a trap door/ladder in the floor for the apes to climb into thier home.He also made out of metal an examination table. He also constructed a jail out of metal,it also had a metal bed inside with animal print material and a metal set of bars so the astronaut couldnt escape.I also got Zira,Zauis,Cornelius,Soldier Ape and The Astronaut.This was the best Christmas ever.Im going to go to my Mothers and see if I can find some picks,it really was well constructed and very well played with!

As another POTA fan, that sounds like a dream gift!

Still looking for pics,sadly over the years of extreme play it slowly broke and fell apart.I remember dropping it alot.
