Next to the wonderful toys by Mego, these Multiple toys Planet of the Apes sets are by far my favourites. I just recently scored one of my grails: For many ages I’ve been after this set, the combination of army men with apes totally reminds me of “Battle for the Planet of the Apes” (easily […]
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 […]
Our latest show is a tribute to one of our favourite actors and certainly somebody that requires no introduction to any child of the 1970s. Episode 47 is all about Roddy McDowall, although we purposely sidestep Planet of the Apes, mostly because we do whole shows on that topic any way and also because the […]
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 […]
For this Friday’s feature, I get kind of personal and explain my love for Planet of the Apes model kits and how they made me the (largely unemployable) man I am today. Join me after the jump! Recently, I spied a lot of Addar Planet of the Apes model kits on Hakes (shop there!). Finances weren’t […]
I lucked out recently and found this awesome piece of AHI Batman goodness locally for a decent price. So, I thought it would be wonderful time to showcase it a little here. More after the jump! First off, I love that box art, we live in an age of regulated style guides where the brand […]
Tell me, though. Does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still have it his way? Did he find Herb? I’ll stop now.
Amsco was a division of Milton Bradley and during their tenure they made some really fun creative and memorable toys. 1975’s roster included Sesame Street, Classic Monsters, Planet of the Apes and even the Waltons in some unique items. Check out the 1975 Amsco Toy Catalog here.
The AHI Action Apemen are one of my favourite knock off lines of all time because they’re just so flagrant. This carded example is easily one of the rarest because it’s the Australian version and it features a more articulated body and well, look at that card art, shiny! Get our book on Rack Toys […]
