They are very addictive. I remember when I got my first ape. After that it was over, they had me hooked.

One of my favorite lines from Mego. I have nothing but great childhood memories playing apes with my brothers. My brother was here a couple weekends ago, he never saw my collection before. It was cool telling his kids about all the fun we had.

Great!!!! I can picture that brother retell session. :-)

[ouijaboard]

how do you tell Mego/Cipsa from Astro/knockoffs

[Mr Mego]

Oh, yeah Apes RULES!!!!!

Apes are so good!!!
Watch out for Astro Apes and bootlegs!

I second that!!

I had many Mego POTA then now 4 CIPSA Apes:

Urko
Bill
Soldado Ursus
Dr.Zaius

And Maroon Cuffed General Ursus, Silver Soldier, T-1 Cornelius and Zira with brown vinyl details. Coming soon: repro CIPSA Cornelius with Mego body, head and CIPSA boots with repro shirt by me.

Then I'm still looking for Cipsa Cornelius to complete my CIPSA Ape figures line, repro boxes and Treehouse by our member megoapesnut.

The CIPSA and Astro Apes are the top rarest and very expensive figures and CIPSA toys!

Also, Top rarest Mego Apes are T-2 Maroon Cuffed General Ursus/Soldier and T-1 Silver Soldier with it's original gloves.

I remember lusting very strongly for a Cornelius and Dr. Zaius when I was a kid. Almost as much as I lusted for Iron Man and The Thing. I'm not sure why my mom would never get them for me, as I had multiple Batmans, Spider-Mans and Aquamans throughout the years. Anyway, I bought the EMCE repros and love them. Originals would be nice, but I'm cool with these.

I have never and don't intend to collect POTAs, but somehow two pristine mint window box Apes managed to sneak into my collection?

Ooohhh. I know where this is going....

No better place to start than window boxed apes!!! Those are hard to get. You are already sucked in, Clem!

One of my favorite lines from Mego.

Mego has lines of figures and sets other than POTA??
