I invested in a lovely POTA rack toy from the late Sixties about 15 years ago. Bought oit at the NEC. A series of plastic apes on horses and a small plastic pistol or rifle. I'm unsure now as I sold it on my toy stall in the late 90's. I can see why you like the MPC sets. Send us a snap of your loose apes for the blog Tone!WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-3349797301668003972017-02-20T16:08:19.011+00:002017-02-20T16:08:19.011+00:00Fascinating that Brian.

At least one included trees joined by bridge walkway, Woodsy. I love these MPC POTA sets, but don't have a set of my own yet... just a couple of the loose apes so far... but it's a good start :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-63057501854253184092017-02-20T00:50:51.411+00:002017-02-20T00:50:51.411+00:00I think your mushroom shaped treehouse was called ...I think your mushroom shaped treehouse was called The Family Treehouse and it housed little figures called the Tree Tots.This was in fact made by Kenner,so it is related to Ewok village at least by brand.Mego had the big contract for anything Planet of the Apes, and I think there was a "Jungle House" that housed both the Apes and Action Jackson.An unreleased treehouse, or "Tribal Lair" was planned for Mego's short-lived One Million BC collection.I've seen pictures of the prototype, but apparently none exist today.A shame, as this line is really cool,I have one of the caveman dolls and the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which I understand is very rare.Briannoreply@blogger.com
