Apes attack in the UK!

[RSS]

How can you love Youtube? That's where I found this home movie footage of a live Planet of the Apes appearance in Plymouth Hoe circa 1975. I know I say this far too often but had I been exposed to this level of awesome as a child, it would have reduced me to a babbling, incoherant state.


Seeing as it's October and it's all about dressing up, I thought I'd show off other Ape Mall Appearances from previous posts:

Scott sent in this awesome shot from Long Island in 1975,

I've always wondered if it's the same one that was sent anonimously here, love the Addar kits in the foreground.

All of this was put on by Mego of course, the one company that really drove the train when it came to "apechandise" , kids even got this handout which I now happily own:

Send us your Mall Appearance photos!

Cool, they don't do this kind of stuff anymore, do they?

I wish they still had store appearances. Spider-man would come to the local TRU like 3-4 times a year when I was young.

That's priceless! I love the capture part at the end! Great stuff! Too bad these days are gone forever.
