Johnny Hero Action Figure

Johnny Hero was a 13-inch tall figure produced by Rosko Industries for Sears in 1965 as a boy's action figure. Johnny Hero was a sports figure that could be fitted with various team uniforms (sold separately). In 1968 Johnny Hero was repackaged as Olympic Hero. The base figure was sold in a box similar to the GI Joe figures of the time. His base outfit included a red long-sleeve jogging suit (the top had "Johnny Hero" and the number 16 printed on the front), gold shorts, white socks and white tennis shoes. NFL, AFL and MLB team uniforms were sold separately. NFL / AFL uniforms included fabric jerseys and pants, shoulder and knee pads, socks, a football and a plastic helmet. Baseball uniforms included shirt, pants, socks, hat, baseball, bat and glove.
