More Mall Appearances: Planet of the Apes meets Star Wars!

[RSS]

A Mego fan sent in this rare shot of a Planet of the Apes store appearance in the mid seventies, note the Mego Apes Play sets and the Addar model kits in the foreground.

Erik sent in this great early 80's Vader appearance, I love that Iron On Empire shirt! Only as a kid was it cool to wear the shirt of the band you're going to see..

Funny how it looks like Vader is "choking" the kid.

I would have died to have seen the Apes live as a kid. I was such a huge fan and they were the first Megos I had.

Both pictures are really great, that's for sure! My favorite is the POTA, though. It's awesome with the Treehouse sets in the background.

I received no response when I posed this question in MEGO BUZZ, so I'll ask it here to see if anyone knows:

I have a question that was posted by a member of one of the Yahoo! APES groups.

He had this to say: "Intesting to find out who was contracted to do these in store promo's.

Was it Fox, Mego or the shop itself???"

Any help regarding this question would be appreciated. I did tell him that I knew MEGO was behind at least some of them, but I'd find out more if I could.
