Mego of the Day is UK Exclusive Steve Goalgetter, produced by Mego corp for toy distributor Wiggens Teape in the late Seventies. Steve remains one of the harder items to find in the Mego collecting world.
I don't think so. Steve was a UK release while I believe Franz was a German release. It looks like the same body, so maybe it seemed to be a natural. I am speculating, so I could be wrong.
I believe this picture is the first time I've ever seen this figure in a proper Steve Goalgetter outfit! I've seen the figure in pics and live and in person before, but hes almost always wearing tattered old Big Jim (or in one case Atomic Man) clothes. I always assumed the original outfits were fragile, yet the picture looks like standard Mego craftsmanship!?
I have one, and I like him. He's looking for a soccerball if anybody has a spare. Oh, and yes, his body is similar in design to Ali.
Edit: I'm wrong here, I have a Beckenbauer, and his body is much different than Ali. He has a lion rock body with t2 style (only bigger) arms and a swivel waist.
The head is also stamped lion rock. The legs are like Goalgetter with the rubber overcoat. I was right about the soccerball and I still need one.
