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.
