Oh man, I need to get my stinkin’ paws on these Planet of the Apes Lawgiver Tiki Mugs. They are from Mondo and they celebrate the wisdom of The Lawgiver. These tiki mugs hold 18oz and come in four colorways. Raise a drink to the Lawgiver and toast to a world where ape evolved from man. I’m going ape over these mugs. Just saying.

Get your stinkin’ paws off my Planet of the Apes ReAction Figures you damn dirty apes. Super 7 is releasing a retro set of ape figures at long last. Charlton Heston is in there too. Choose from General Ursus, Cornelius, Dr. Zaius, Zira, Taylor and Nova.
Artist Charlie Ans mashed up the Planet of the Apes with the Justice League of America. He was just monkeying around, but the end result is a league of heroes who will work for bananas. The series is called JLA-PE. It is a mashup so crazy that I actually wouldn’t mind seeing it on the big screen.
Your favorite classic board game just got a new twist. Those damn dirty apes have finally done it. They have taken over Monopoly. Planet Of The Apes Monopoly is completely retro with custom illustrated art by Dave Perillo with a vintage theme from the classic 1968 science fiction film.
Artist Steve Parry has a great series of posters called Iconic Moments and it is just what it says on the tin. Iconic moments from some of our favorite Sci-Fi movies. He has a book in production that we are eager to check out as well. Below are a few of our favorites, but you can check out his page for many more.
Now this is a campaign I can get behind. Let’s make America apes again. As in Planet of the Apes. This fun Trump/Planet of the Apes mashup is from Hal Hefner. We’ve covered his work in the past. This one is another classic.
This clip from Turner Classic Movies features Dr. Zaius talking about working with Charleton Heston On Planet Of The Apes. I’m not sure when this was filmed, but Dr, Zaius has aged very well. No crows feet (Maybe I should say monkey paws) or anything. It’s a short clip, but those are some great stories about the film and Charleton Heston’s kindness.

For those of you who are older, you’ll remember this, but this will be new to many younger folks. This is a video of the time that Paul Williams appeared on the February 9, 1973 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson to sing “Here’s That Rainy Day” while wearing his full orangutan makeup from filming Battle for the Planet of the Apes. Williams played Virgil in the film. So now you get to see an ape sing.

If you’re looking for some colorful decor for your home you can’t go wrong with these Comic Book Pillow Covers. Etsy seller theuniquegeekie has so many unique items in their shop, but their geeky pillows are awesome. Especially the comic book cover pillows covers.
They have so many classic covers from a variety of different titles. I love that Marvel 2001: A Space Odyssey cover below. These are colorful retro reminders of some very amazing issues. These would look great on your couch or bed. They also have these available as wall hangings. Nice!
20th Century Fox created a ton of promotional material for the original 1968 Planet Of The Apes movie. These two-color “door panel” posters for theaters are just one example. They do a great job of introducing the various characters from the film by giving you some large print action so that you want to see it.
These posters were pretty common in the 60s, but by a decade or so later they were already on their way out. Which is too bad, because they really make an impact. I wish they still promoted films like this today.
