Planet of the Apes Astronaut Taylor 8" Mego Figure

Planet of the Apes Astronaut Taylor 8" Mego Figure:

George Taylor was an astronaut from twentieth century Earth. A cynical misfit who was happy to leave his life behind forever in the belief that he could find something more humane and civilized in another place or another time, yet even he seemed shocked to discover what mankind had done to itself. He was captured and treated as an animal, first by talking apes, and then by mutated humans. He was ultimately shot by ape soldiers, and with his final breath set off the Alpha-Omega Bomb, destroying the world.

About MEGO Corporation

Originally founded in 1954 by Dave Abrams, Marty Abrams, now commonly known as 'the father of action figures,' took the helm of the company in 1971 and shifted the direction to licensed action figures.  He included the 'World’s Greatest Super Heroes' line), celebrity dolls, and the Micronauts toy line. Mego became famous for its 8-inch scale figures with interchangeable bodies. Eventually, this became an industry standard.
