    My POTA Collection

    Thought I would share a few photos of my POTAs, which is my main Mego focus. Nothing ground breaking I'm afraid, but I love 'em!

    Here's the gorilla army (minus my flocked Urko and Ursus):



    The troops without the generals (there are a few custom outfits and accessories I've acquired):



    The chimps and orangs (I'm slightly obsessed with Corny/Galen figures!):



    The humans.... Brent's loincloth is my only attempt at sewing a custom outfit!! (I call this one Brent as I really dislike the character of Taylor):



    The Conquest / Escape apes... the middle two are my most recent additions, courtesy of Theressa. Not sure about the blue outfit, he was kind of a stand in for Caesar until I got the proper outfit. The Ape-o-naut is a WIP.



    Corny wearing the helmet - this is from the Hasbro Leo Davidson figure, with the front section sliced away:

    That is one nice-looking ape army.
    Your customs fit right in!

        You have a good collection going so far...

        What's the outfit you're using for your Ape-o-naut?

          Very cool. Apes need to be collected in bunches.
          Fresh, not from concentrate.

            Yes! Apes by the dozens is only proper… and cool use on the helmet.

                  Sorry, I don't know where it's from, I got it in a job lot ages ago (the Taylor/Brent figure was wearing it). I need to get a white astronaut belt for it, and maybe some white gloves, and I might have a go at stitching on some black panels each side.
