Playsets of the Apes

June 22, 2009 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 3 Comments

More shots from the 1974 Multiple Toys Catalog featuring these awesome Planet of the Apes playsets, I’ve seen the packaging on the set bove before but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t released.

I actually had this set at one point, I love how the soldiers are referred to as “earth men”, I guess the folks at Multiple didn’t stick around to see the Statue of Liberty…

Maybe they didn't want to give away the ending for kids who hadn't seen the first movie yet?

Yeah, that's it.

I love that packaging! Plus set #1331 is just plain great, of course I wouldn't turn down the first set either : )

When I was a kid in the 70's, I got a Planet Of The Apes treehouse for Christmas. My sister got the Malibu Barbie beach house. They were IDENTICAL, except mine was brown and tan and hers was orange and yellow.

Classic.
