            I wondered why the artwork didn't match the actual action figure. I do like his facial sculpt better than the one they eventually went with. He looks younger, and more like Big Jim.

                  I think this head-sculpt was also first intended for Dinah-Mite's beau Don, and IMO would have been a much better choice than reusing Superman's sculpt.

                    I always felt he looked just slightly like Lancelot.

                        To me it looks like an Astronaut head on a type-0 body, no idea about the shirt and pants, the jacket kind of looks like a trimmed westerns figure maybe Crockett or Buffalo Bill. Could be an old boyfriend of one of Charlie’s Angels?

                          The shirt and pants I thought were from the italian Jimmy Brown line. The jacket who knows. It looks good as presented tho.
