Planet Obezyan Meets Tron

Coming soon

Archive note

A Soviet-era mail-order advertisement for a 1984 collectible card series depicting Planet of the Apes characters reimagined as neon-glowing cyborgs in a Tron-inspired aesthetic. The poster promises two holographic trading cards: "Caesar Caesar in the Network" and "Electronic Doctor," available exclusively through post. A artifact from an alternate 1980s where Soviet pop culture synthesis merged American sci-fi franchises with domestic Cold War futurism, preserved in its original aged condition. Speaks to collectors of retro-futurist ephemera, Soviet graphic design, and impossible crossover merchandise.

Catalogued, not yet released. This artifact will become available to acquire soon.

One artifact. One owner. On acquisition it is permanently retired from the archive. You receive the high-resolution file and a signed certificate of exclusivity.
