Sometimes all you need to roam into space is a mask. Note the details of the microphone assembly. Just like the real thing (right picture...)

  1. WOW! I FOUND A "MARX 1960'S JOHNNY APOLLO" ON EBAY AND BID ON IT, NEVER DREAMING I COULD WIN. I WON. THE FIGURE IS SLIGHTLY WORN AS FAR AS PAINT ON HAIR BUT I OWN AN ICON FROM THE APOLLO GLORY YEARS. STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT! GREAT SITE BY THE WAY.
