The All American Athlete, Johnny Hero
action figure "Takes any sports
position" Thanks to his foam latex body
reinforced with wire, he assumes any
sports action pose...throwing catching,
stealing bases, and batting in baseball. In
1965 Johnny Hero was sold for $2.75 and
came dressed in gold trunks, a Johnny
Hero #16 shirt, socks and sneakers,
with a picture box.
Other baseball and football uniforms
could also be ordered. "Authentically
detailed reproduction of the official
uniform" of your favorite team. The
outfit without the doll at $3.75 cost
more than Johnny himself.
In 1968 Johnny Hero was repackaged as
Olympic Hero, Sports Star, and was
outfitted in a number 16 red
long-sleeve jogging suit with "Johnny
Hero" printed across his chest, but the
uniform was not detachable. The box
came in two color variations, Blue and
Red. (pictured below) The Sports
Uniforms that were sold separately were
to be put on over the Jogging suit.
There are Olympic Hero action figures
that have the correct color under
shirt, including the Dodgers that might
have been marketed and sold in
specially marked team boxes to unload
overstock.
The Olympic Hero baseball
uniform pack came with a team cap,
stirrups/socks, glove, ball & bat to
complement the Johnny Hero figure. All
MLB and NFL teams of the days had
accessory packs for the doll uh..ah.. I
mean Action Figure. (sorry guys) The
Olympic Team uniforms, sealed in
package sell in the $15.-$20. price
range some teams could carry a premium.
The Johnny Hero Uniforms in the tray
packages sell for about $50.-$75.
