1974 saw the deluge of Apechandise as evidenced by this great newspaper ad, with the cancellation of the series in 1975 would see this stuff go on clearance. When I started toy collecting in the early eighties, you could find discounted Apes merchandise in almost every convience store in Toronto, it was a good time […]
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.
