Toy-Ventures is about a fantastic Planet of the Apes toy time capsule I received. It’s about trust and finding a kindred soul you’ve never met. This episode is a really positive experience. This episode delves into Rack Toys, Planet of the Apes, Mego Knock-Off figures, Trading Cards or Non-Sports cards, AHI, Croner toys, Scanlens, Fanzines, the Apes television show and, well, just being a passionate kid.”

Mego Knock Off Headquarters– The leading group discussing 70s Dime store knock-offs and bootleg action figures, we talk vintage toys and not others. We know the difference between Astro Apes and Action Apeman.  It’s a fun group where we talk about Lincoln Monsters, AHI, Mighty Gary, Tomland, Bogi, Demo Man, Mortoys, and other generic greats.

Ideal Planet of the Apes inflatable Galen

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 Hunter’s Planet of the Apes Archive (which is amazing, go there!) to see them all blown up.

We got a General Urko, Doctor Zaius and Galen; sadly no astronauts, but I don’t blame them. 

I don’t think I’ll collect them all but this will be going in my Planet of the Apes display.

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 guy had a pretty incredible career on top of being Galen/Cornelius/Caesar.

We chat his various television series like Tales of the Gold Monkey and Fantastic Journey and his incredible amount of guest spots on shows like Batman, Columbo, Quantum Leap and even Pinkey and the Brain.

And of course, we discuss films like Fright Night, The Black Hole and the Legend of Hell House among others.

Hit us up on our facebook page and tell us what your favourite Roddy McDowall role is!

Due to all the nice requests about making more Pod Casts and our desire to talk, we’ve started a new concept here.

Presenting the first Mini-Sode, an extra half hour show each month on a variety of topics that are perhaps not long enough for our standard format.

For our inaugural mini-show we decided to pick a simple question “What were the last two movies you watched?” and it goes all the map from Italian futuristic gladiators to talking bears to super human Simon Pegg to punks in Toronto.


Topics Include: Fulci, Kentucky Fried Movie, Zombie, Monty Python, Simon Pegg, Paddington, Peter Capaldi, Vic Morrow, Fred Williamson, Running Man, Mandingo, Meatballs, 

Hit us up on our facebook page with your feedback.
