A couple of weeks ago, I was introduced to the Space Apes, a vintage series of action figures that seemed to be knocking off Mego's Planet of the Apes line but upon further reflection, these appear to be factory seconds poly bagged and sold off to make a quick buck, more after the jump:
This week's toy-ventures is all about Planet of the Apes, well not officially licensed mind you, nope we're talking about the weird knock offs called the Astro Apes.
Astro Apes are cheap, blatant and totally charming rip-offs of our favourite Ape characters. So come meet Artemus, Myra and Dr. Zorma!

This week's episode examines the Tomland toys Sonic Man and Sonic, who look suspiciously like a certain Bionic Couple we all know and love.
We also delve into Tomland's history of ripping off some of the 1970s most popular tv and movie properties. You can see more Tomland toy merchandise at this site:
