Planet of the Apes PALITOY SOLDIER APE won of ebay and info needed

[retrotoyboy]

Hi all

I recently won a carded soldier ape of ebay , the bubble is still stuck to the card, but ape can be removed.


I have few ?

As the Bandolier and rifle are missing, am I right that an action Jackson rifle is the same as the apes M16 ?

Should the bandolier have a place for a knife and a knife ?

(Have put wanted ad in marketplace for both rifle and bandolier)

Also for info the tunic is the blue variety- thought I'd mention this in case a PALITOY Ape with blue tunic has not been found before.



Here is the link to the auction

Hi Sammy

Thanks for info

re bandolier , so all apes bandoliers are the same ? ,just some don't get a knife.

Must be cool to live in California , weather is always warm, NOT like England
