HUMANS
Mego released three humans from the Planet of the Apes franchise: Peter Burke, Alan Verdon, and a generic Astronaut figure. Cipsa produced Bill, "the lost astronaut," for Mego in Mexico.
An 8" Peter Burke figure was released from the Planet of the Apes T.V. show.
An 8" Alan Verdon figure was released from the Planet of the Apes T.V. show.
Bill, "the lost astronaut," was produced and sold by Mego distributor Cipsa in Mexico. He is the rarest Cipsa figure and very difficult to find complete and all original.

Bill shares a head sculpt with Mego's Alan Verdon.

Unlike the Mego humans, Bill came with a rifle. Almost identical to the standard Planet of the Apes M-16, the Cipsa rifles lack detail on the grip.
