My first ape

[Action Burt]

Just won my first ape



MEGO Planet of the Apes POTA: 8" GALEN/CORNELIUS T1 on eBay, also, Mego, Action Figures, Toys Games (end time 05-May-08 19:24:38 BST)

Was $24 (approx) a good price to pay ?

You did fine, congrats that looks like a nice minty "Gateway" Ape.

He looks like he is in great shape. Green ears?

Be careful with the Apes line, collecting them becomes quite an addiction!

Soon you will have an army of soldier apes.

Congrats on your Cornelius!!

I have several Cornelius apes now. My favorite (although he's got a broken leg) is a green eared Cornelius. Somehow the shape of his face is very thin compared to the other Cornelius figures I have. I am not even going to do anything to the green eared one except perhaps repaint his face to remove his eyebrows and lipstick and of course change his outfit.

Congrats and welcome to the wonderful world of apes.

Two questions
Whats Gateway and why are his ears green ?

[Tyme2tyme]

Sharp looking Galen/Corny. Very clean looking and with his shoes, I'd say the price was a good deal, JOHN

[toys2cool]

Green Ears-
Some of these figures have green ears. It used to be believed that was what differentiated Corneilus from Galen, but that's no longer true.

As for Gateway, well, just grab an Urko or a Soldier Ape and you'll find out soon enough

APES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Action Burt]

Thanks for the positive comments

Looking forward to this as it was one of the mego's I regularly played with as as a kid.....along with Captain America, Kirk, Spock and Bones.

I debating whether flock it.....Id love to, but as it looks so mint, maybe I should keep it as it is.

What do you think ?

[critter2]

Good looking ape ya got there!
Don't mean to sound dumb, but what is flock? Adding hair? If so, maybe talk someone into sending you an old head? I've got one if you need it.
