The always-friendly Dr. Zaius has been celebrating Planet Of The Apes Week just prior to his birthday. Which seems wholly appropriate, if you ask me.

Well, for my contribution, I present Planet Of The Apes Colorforms™. For those of you who do not remember toys that did not need to be plugged in to recharge, Colorforms were pieces of vinyl shaped like people, animals and objects that you could stick and re-stick onto a background to construct scenes.

Considering the static nature of the scenes, however, the fun typically lasted about 10 minutes or so.

But in any event, for a Planet Of The Apes aficionado like myself (I’ve seen all the movies, cartoons and the short-lived TV series), it was pretty cool.

And, it was designed by the Dad of a kid who was in my 6th grade class!

This is the exact set I used to have when I was a wee child.  Awesome.
