Weird 12 Inch Lone Ranger with K/O GI Joe head?

[Godzilla]

This just popped up on Facebook and I have no information on it, but I'm fascinated. Anyone know anything?

That horse is fantastic!

I agree, that is weird. I assume that it's pretty rare, as well.

Looks like Silver got hit by a steam roller.

As someone pointed out on Facebook, the horse looks like a blow up. The guy behind it promises more pictures. I really want to see what the body looks like.

Is the Lone Ranger named Linda (that's how I read it)?

Ok here's the description the owner posted and a couple more pictures "The Doll is actual British empire made by 'Linda' 1966. Very rare with cheap injection moulded body. This is the first time the horse has ever been blown up. Hi-Yo, Silver, away!"

This is completely new to me. I think I'm in love.

Anyone know anything about the Linda toy company?

I wonder if the doll originally had a mask.

It's 1966 dated...so, that's well before Hubley/Gabriel/Marx. Pretty cool, overall.

I wonder the same. Looking at his Civil War era pants and plaid shirt, gives the impression this company was not big on accuracy. Sad, that a simple paint op mask was out of their budget. I also wonder if his holsters ever had pistols.
