Did you know there were other Addar Planet of the Apes kits?
They did a 'kits in a bottle' range called 'Super Scenes' including the POTA.

There were 3 (that I have seen)

Cornfield Roundup
Tree House
Jail Wagon

Did the Planet of the Apes ride exist in Wildwood during that vacation?I can remember a trip there in the Summer of '73 and each pier had no less than 3 haunted house type rides,ride thru, walk thru, you name it.The Planet of the Apes ride arrived a year or 2 later, and it was a mash up of old rides put together, with people in ape soldier costumes running around.A few years after that, it was made into a Star Wars ride.

I remember getting the Cornelius and Dr. Zaius models while on vacation in Wildwood, NJ. On the way hope, I assembled the models (snap-together, no glue required) in the backseat of our massive '67 Chrysler Newport ("It seats about 20!") while my Dad played old Redd Roxx comedy performances on 8-track tape. Couldn't get any better than that!

Thanks for that trip down memory lane.

In the early 1970s I was an Ape-o-phile of the Nth degree (that's a thing, you know). These model kits were part of the prescription for my condition. Along with Megos, trading cards, etc.

I'm not sure why it didn't occur to me to suggest this until now, but you might want to get in touch with a collector I know that's a dedicated flea market/thrift store/yard sale hunter, as her area seems to be freaking full of 70s/80s toys and she'd likely be happy to grab things for you. Her blog is at:

(The Mego connection is that the scale-model horse hobby has used their figures in competitive dioramas since at least the 70s, due to their size & articulated limbs.)
