Johnny Hero "Oylmpic Hero" By Don Thompson
Johnny Hero was a 13 inch figure made by Rosko Industries for Sears in 1965 as
an alternative to GI Joe. He disappeared a few years after as apparently
an alternative was not required. He was repackaged briefly (probably to dump unsold stock) as an
Olympic Hero.
Johnny came with a red number 16 shirt, gold shorts, socks and white tennis shoes. His body
was a heavy foam with plastic hands and head. He had a metal prong in his hand that
helped him hold a baseball or football.
