Mego Planet of the Apes  (1973 -  1975)
As Mego  searched for it's next big hit following the success of the first World's    Greatest Super-Heroes line, they turned to a popular Sci-fi movie which    had won fans over world-wide, the Planet of the Apes.  The ape line    was pretty successful and they made a slew of characters, with many    different variants. The astronaut figure was, disappointingly, not Taylor,    but rather, a generic astronaut. I believe they had liscensing problems    with Heston. The Astronauts Burke and Verdon are from the television        series (as opposed to one of the movies).
