Dr. Shocker’s AUCTION
OF HORROR!
PLANET OF THE APES
Planet of the Apes became the first film of a huge sci-fi film franchise after it opened in 1968. Apes spawned five feature films as well as a television series, including a short lived animated series called Return to the Planet of the Apes (1975-76). Though there were several items made in support of the franchise, the majority of the items produced centered around the TV series, which ran for just one season. Mego toys made an 8” line of toys, complete with vehicles and accessories, which remain some of the most popular collectibles of the series. Addar model kits released Apes models as well, which fit right in with their well-loved monster kits.
