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 wonder what Geoffrey’s sith lord name is? Darth Exclusive?
Kusan toys combined household appliances with zoo animals and had a major hit in the 1970s, who says LSD didn’t have it’s merits?
