This week, we talk about one of my favorite subjects, cheap rack toys but even better, they’re planet of the apes rack toys. We get into the history of licensed parachute toys, which are some of the most fun but also bizarre toys we could buy for under a buck. So we talk about RipCord, Star […]
This week’s toy-ventures is all about Planet of the Apes, well not officially licensed mind you, nope we’re talking about the weird knock offs called the Astro Apes. Astro Apes are cheap, blatant and totally charming rip-offs of our favourite Ape characters. So come meet Artemus, Myra and Dr. Zorma! Collection pics courtesy of William, […]

I did something irresponsible the other day (and I was sober!) and bought this remote control Dr. Zaius from AHI. I’d always wanted one and hoped to make a video of him riding. I got one foot and he stopped moving! Anyway, I couldn’t stop staring at how wonderful a toy it was so I […]
So, I needed a trash can for my office, a kind of mundane task I guess but because my whole room is decked out in vintage stuff, I decided the can itself had to be vintage. It took me a while, mostly because the ones I kept finding were Hockey (I do live in Canada) […]
