I recently found this wonderful relic of early fandom from 1974. It mainly features Star Trek and Planet of the Apes items for mail orders. I’m too young to remember STREK Enterprises but my youth was filled with such catalogues and I can certainly see myself filling out the order form as a kid. The […]
Behold what happens when you’ve had a little much Christmas cheer, and everybody went to bed. Apparently, I really had to have this inflatable Galen from Planet of the Apes, which totally checks out. Everyone needs an inflatable Roddy McDowall, right? Right? Turns out this was like a series, and I borrowed this image from […]
Like clockwork, just as my birthday rolls around, an excuse to do something terribly irresponsible with my money comes with it. This year it was this, one of my “top five” rack toy and Planet of the apes wants. The reason you ask? Well, let me lay it out for you, first off, it’s a […]
Being a toy collector, I am very drawn to “Catalog Exclusive” items even if i don’t actually collect the line. This Ward’s exclusive set for Kenner’s Steve Scout is new to me, anybody have one in the box? I’d be curious to see it. More Steve Scout.
It’s been a while since I cracked the spine of a colouring book so what better a subject than Planet of the Apes? I was drawn to this art craft activity book because of this nicely drawn but kind of dark cover from “Conquest of the Planet of the Apes“. Sheese, even Power Records chose […]
I’ve blogged about the bootleg Planet of the Apes knock off action figure line “The Astro Apes” before but I never thought I’d run into more merchandising for such a fly by night line. Then I run into these insane dime store rarities, let us have a looksie this box inside after the jump. The […]
Matchbox Mobile Action Command (MAC for short) is a largely forgotten toy line but happily remembered toy line of the 1970s. At least judging by the “What were those cool vehicle/figure sets called?” type emails i get about once a week. It’s also a toy line I actively collect but with one caveat, I have […]
GI Joe, Action Jackson, Big Jim and Mego Superheroes, pretty close to everything I thought about before Star Wars blew up.
I adore the Mego Mad Monsters, it’s definitely in my top five all time Monster toy lines (which I’ll speak more about this month). While Mego didn’t get the Universal license, they created a really crazy series of generic Monster figures that even glow in the dark! Here’s Mego Dracula and the Mummy in their […]
As space is so limited around here (kind of like money) I tend to not buy a lot of Battle of the Planets stuff these days, unless it’s a) Cheap and b) features Zoltar or his Spectra goons. This Japanese card game checked both of those boxes, it’s got my favourite transgendered villain on the […]
