Mego Planet of the Apes
By Euphrates



The Planet of the Apes is probably Mego's most popular line of action
figures.  This fact is astounding considering how long it has been
since there have been any new Planet of the Apes related movies or
television programs and how many great action figures Mego made
during its history.  The line was based on the first Planet of the
Apes film, starring Charlton Heston, but was not released until 1974 
in order to capitalize on the new movie-inspired television series.

The figures, while sought after feverishly, are still quite plentiful.  The
gloves and weapons are hard to come by but they are out there.  Of course
the playsets have a tendency to shed smaller pieces over the years so expect 
to pay a premium for complete sets.

Below you will find a listing of all of the figures and playsets and 
following that, a great article on variations by Calvin Weaver.
