THE FACE

 

Imagineering came out with The Face in 1979. 

When I saw those ads, I could not believe it! 

I had no idea who John Chambers was at that time, but I DID know I loved the Planet of the Apes.  Maybe, just maybe, this kit could transform me just like it did those actors in 1968!

So sue me.  I was a little kid and thought anything was possible.

I really wanted to get my hands on one of these,  It promised a complete 3-D makeup it in every box!  Flex-O-Skin sounded good to me. 

Of course, what they actually were was thin foam two-piece masks meant to be glued down with spirit gum.

Still, it really fired my imagination.
