Vintage Mego of the Day: Planet of the Apes Astronaut in his Japanese (Bullmark) box. This thing is HUGE!

I'm starting to get the feeling you really like this packaging.
One of the things I like about these boxes is that they are the only Mego POTA items to feature the "World's Greatest Superheroes" logo on the packaging (you can kind of make it out on the upper left side of the box in the pic above). I have no idea why Bullmark decided to do that, but it's pretty cool that they did.Comment

So many great little oddities in the Bullmark packaging; it's also evident that box design was the inspiration for the rear window of the Nissan Cube.Comment

Bullmark Apes packaging is pure greatness. I noticed something odd on closer inspection, though. The text that wraps around at the top-left says "A planet 230 light years from Earth", which makes no sense in light of the film's plot. Maybe they were thinking of the original book's plot instead? But if so, why?Comment

You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

That crossed my mind too. But it's not fun and colorful like Wizard of Oz and where the Walton's had an old pickup truck and General store, Barbie had Corvette and a Dreamhouse. Mego obviously put a lot of work and thought into line. But it still strikes me as a bit of a misfire because it not exactly fun to play.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Don't know if it was exactly the 'girls' market or the doll collectors. I kind of figured that was the target for Waltons, Oz, and Rascals.Comment
