Great newsletter as always gent. Thanks for the plug on my 13th Dimension article. Much appreciated!

Shindana Slade! One of my personal holy grails. In my experience, perpetually rare and elusive and, when I have seen one for sale, always at a price much higher than my personal 'max' price. I had no trouble at all getting an excellent condition OJ Simpson by Shindana and got lucky once to get an excellent Dr. J as well. But I'm coming to grips with the strong likelihood that Slade may remain just out of my grasp....
I also thought that Bullseye custom was particularly excellent!
Thank you again for a great weekly newsletter that I very much enjoyed!Comment

The Invisible Woman head sculpt looks really off. The rest look fine.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

Really enthusiastic about White Elephant's upcoming new ape figures!
I've bought two of their apes so far (one of which glows in the dark!) and really like them both. So I definitely welcome more!
As an aside, I was going to buy one of those female bodies when, for a long time, it was listed on their website for, I think, $10, under the name "Lena." I had one in my cart in their online store for months, just waiting for White Elephant to release some new figures that I'd buy. And then one day, maybe a month ago or so, that "Lena" listing was removed entirely from their online store. I was kind of surprised. Now I know why!
The burlap-like mesh on several of these new figures definitely reminds me of the vintage Mego PotA astronauts.
My only dilemma (to resolve by Tuesday): the new ape I like the best has the same head as one of their prior apes that I already own....
Lastly, the clothes on the Argos ape remind me of those the astronaut Peter Burke wore on the PotA TV show 50 years ago.
Thank you once again for a very enjoyable ToyVentures Weekly!Comment

Another great TV Weekly: thank you once again!
Great to see the photo of those Micronuats puzzles (which I, too, had never seen before). I never liked doing puzzles a kid, I think because one of my grandmothers was a massive puzzle enthusiast, and perpetually had a very elaborate one half done on her dining room table. Whenever my parents dropped off my sister and I at their house for a day, she invariably suggested that we sit at the table and work on whatever her current puzzle was (commonly a giant photo of autumnal foliage)....
I really enjoyed that photo of the custom of the Squire of Gothos (as I know him) riding a horse with Kirk in the background: fantastic! (That figure would also make an excellent Liberace custom!)
Really glad to see the update from Jason of White Elephant Toyz that their newest figures are selling well. I'm a definite fan of their work, and a multiple repeat customer.
Lastly, this week's Toy Shelf photo is completely amazing! I, too, have had a lifelong affection for both 70s Hulk and Planet of the Apes. So this collection, which is waaaayyy more extensive than my own, is particularly impressive to me!Comment
