This set comes with a gorilla suit, gorilla head, foot covers, and four hands from Gorillas in the Mist, and an ape underskull from Planet of the Apes. The gorilla suit, foot covers, and head all feature similar black and gray hand-punched hairs. The head is offered on a biscuit foam form and is made from foam latex. The underskull is made from vacuformed plastic and features a set of resin teeth and a hinged jaw. Bits of dried foam latex are still present where an ape skin used to be attached.
