Ape Call!



If you've ever claimed to be a participant in the older fandom of Planet of the Apes, this DVD collection- The Ultimate DVD Collection- is probably all you'll ever need to own. It has all 6 movies (yes, including Tim Burton's), the TV series, AND the animated series, and a crapload of bonus material to boot. It spans about 14 discs and retails for just over $100 US, which you have to admit is pretty damn good. It is the most perfect collection you could ever buy. But what makes it truly great-

it comes in a fucking ape head, damn it.

Yes, this DVD collection fits snugly into the back of a bust of Caesar himself, complete with green shirt and combable hair (if you're so inclined). There is no better way complete the feng-shui of your living room than with a life-like ape's head.

If this were any other fandom, it would seem tacky, but there's something strangely dignified about it. Like having a big painting of Vincent Price in your living room or something.
