Speaking of simians, I love vintage Planet of the Apes [POTA] toys, particularly carded rack toys. For a short while a few years back I was the happy owner of this ubercool Target Set by our Golden Astronaut friends Multiple Toy Makers in 1967. I bought it on one of my scouting trips to Memorabilia at the NEC back when I was a vintage toy dealer. Alas, like so many of my purchases they were re-sold on my old Ebay shop. Anyone else collect rack toys or POTA stuff?

Only we Apes can talk!
ReplyDeleteI remember much of our outdoor play being based on The Planet of The Apes the year it played on television one night. My Dad caught heck from Mom for letting me stay up late to watch such violence. Quite a few fathers may have faced the same wrath; every kid I knew had seen it too.
ReplyDeleteI have one of the foot figures from the MPC range, I love that he is flocked!
