Item Description
9.75x25.5" illustrated cardboard display card contains 25" long plastic "Rapid Fire Rifle" and 7x8.5" soft rubber Ape mask by Mattel, set No. 7329. 1970s (though marked ©1967). While display card features great images of Apes using gun in this set, the gun was originally issued for another property that was quickly repurposed to cash in on the popularity of "Planet Of The Apes." However, despite the movie's popularity, these sets did not sell well and were quickly pulled from shelves. Gun is missing "Planet Of The Apes" decal on stock. Features simulated revolving bullet chamber and raised "Rapid Fire" and "Mattel" logo above bullet chamber. Gun produces loud pop noise when trigger is pulled. Works. Exc. Mask is still stapled to card by original tabs and mask shows little to no wear. Displays VF. Card has aging and scattered edge/corner tip wear w/wear to die-cut areas for holding rifle and moderate scattered creasing. Some foxing on white and a few soiling spots. Two original price stickers. VG/Fine. Both gun and mask are rare and set is extremely rare in original box. Among the rarest and most sought after Planet of the Apes items. Know your region's toy gun restrictions before bidding as this is a life-like rifle replica. Michael Lartigaut Collection.
