Mego Planet of the Apes Bend N Flex Figures<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mego Planet of the Apes \u00a0Bend ‘n Flex figures are approximately 5″ tall.<\/p>\n

All five of\u00a0the first series 8″ figures are represented, but Galen is\u00a0the only one from the second series to make it to this format. The back of the card (above) features a nice swip from the Doctor Zaius model kit by Addar, and Galen holding a spear, just like Galen never did in any way….<\/p>\n

Mego also produced\u00a0Bend n Flex Superheroes\u00a0and proposed the format for Star Trek and Kiss<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

Megp Planet of the Apes Astronaut Bend N Flex Figure<\/p><\/div>\n

If I had to be honest, I prefer this interpretation of the Astronaut over the 8″ version.<\/p>\n

\"Mego<\/a>

Cornelius Bend N Flex Mego Planet of the Apes line<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Megp<\/a>

Megp Planet of the Apes Galen Bend N Flex Figure<\/p><\/div>\n

Just like the 8″ line Mego just repackaged Cornelius as Galen, note that Galen is the only character that doesn’t have the same card colour as his 8″ counterpart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Megp<\/a>

Megp Planet of the Apes Bend N Flex Figure soldierape<\/p><\/div>\n

The Solider Ape is the most commonly found figure, especially carded and probably had a higher case pack than the other characters.<\/p>\n

\"zaius\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"zira\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Zira is the hardest to find figure in the series and likely had the lowest production run.<\/p>\n

This
\nis an original retail counter display box for the figures.
\nIt’s extremely rare and may be the last one in existence.
