Planet of the Apes: Mondo’s Vinyl Soundtrack, T-Shirts and Enamel Pins
If you’re aPlanet of the Apesfan, then you’re going to want to hit up a special screening of the film at select Alamo Drafthouse locations on August 30th to get your hands on some awesome Mondo goodies.
First up, a vinyl edition of Jerry Goldsmith’s classicPlanet of the Apeswill be made available at exclusive screenings happening around the country at Alamo Drafthouse locations. This is an event-exclusive version of the soundtrack (which will be made available in another version sometime later) featuring artwork by Matthew Woodson.
But that’s not all. As you can see in the gallery, there will also be enamel pins designed by Tom Whalen featuring the characters Dr. Zaius, Cornelius, Ursus and “The Lawgiver” statue. Plus, there will be two t-shirts available at the screenings. The red election-themed shirt by Jay Shaw is only available when you purchase a ticket to the screening while other shirt by Eric Powell will be sold at the event itself.

Star Wars: Lightsaber Spatula and Wall Hangers
If you’re the kind ofStar Warsfan who needs as many things as possible decorating your house that show your love of the sci-fi saga, then these two items are for you.
First up, there’s anew spatula from ThinkGeekwith a handle modeled to look like the lightsaber wielded by Darth Vader. The actual spatula part of the utensil also has the logo laser-cut into it. And while the handle isn’t made of metal like the spatula part, it’s made of heat-proof plastic so you don’t fuse your hand to the item while cooking. The last thingStar Warsneeds is another hand incident.
Second, if you need a nerdy place to hang out coats or bags, thenThinkGeek’s lightsaber wall hangerswill do the trick. Each hanger is made to look like there’s a lightsaber jammed into your wall, melting the material around it.
Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom Funko POP Vinyl
If you didn’t get your hands on the Funko POP Vinyl of Indiana Jones that was available at Comic-Con last month (and you don’t want to overpay on eBay to get it now), there’s still hope to add the POP Vinyl version of Dr. Jones to your collection.
Disney Parks have an exclusive Indiana Jones figure inspired by his appearance inTemple of Doom. The figure is holding a machete and one of the sacred stones. If you want to get ahold of him for $19.99, you’ll have to head to Adventureland Bazaar or Downtown Disney District on D-Street in Disneyland or you cna head to the Indiana Jones Adventure Outpost or Disney’s Pin Traders at Disney World.

Ghostbusters: SH Figuarts Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
There are plenty of Stay Puft Marshmallow collectibles out there, but none are as cool as this one. Standing at just over seven inches tall, this S.H. Figuarts figure from Bandai comes with multiple head sculpts to recreate your favorite scene as well as some swappable hands too. It’s just a shame there aren’t some burnt parts to go along with his angry faces, but maybe that version will come sometime down the road.
