Planet of the Apes is understandably compared to the PGF due to it's vintage and subject matter. I think this is a bit of a shame because POTA is basically a prosthetic make-up show

rather than a creature suit show. The design of the facial prosthetics is apelike in shorthand, while the anatomy is human.

I think the following are arguably better facial prosthetics from the same era as POTA. - 1967 & 1968 respectively. I believe the first is an unused concept. Not certain. I've tried to include a very loosely contemporary still of the actors in question.

ETA - Sorry about the 'stacked' pictures - the top four were 2x2 in posting mode.

Point of order - the above costume is as far as I can determine a modern reproduction action figure of 'Ro-Man' from the notorious no-budget 1953 Robot Monster. The original was gorilla man George Barrows in his own rental gorilla suit with an added helmet - the production values were that desperate.

So - the posted figure is strictly not from the 50's and was hardly Hollywood's best work in the original production rather some of it's worst.
