Planet of the Apes Colorforms

June 25, 2009 By Mantooth In Uncategorized 2 Comments

I love it when a toy concept I adore is crossed over with a license that rules, in this case it’s the merging of Colorforms with Planet of the Apes. One of the my favourite things about this piece is it seems strongly influenced by the “Return to the Planet of the Apes” cartoon series.

That show is where is my “Ape Love” originated from, so I’m especially soft when it comes to that.

Holy Skamokawae!

This is another "I had that, but totally forgot I had that" moment.

Wow. That feels weird.

"Kids will go ape over…" How many times was that line used for POTA merchandising?!! The ad writers really broke a sweat on that one!
