I incorrectly assumed this guy was by Hasbro when I found him online earlier this week. He needed a new home. I thought his face was interesting and that he would look nice dressed and paired with one of the women here. I hoped he would be tall enough before I completed the purchase.
He arrived yesterday. He is about the same size as the so-called 12-inch GI Joes and almost the same height as most of my fashion dolls. Until now, I had never heard of his manufacturer, Lanard Toys Ltd. The body has a copyright date of 1999, just below his waist.
I Googled the manufacturer's name and found this link for their current line, which may not currently include dolls that share his complexion.
He is dressed in a Ken fashion. His big feet are basically just standing on S. I. S. Darren's sneakers. They barely close in the back.
An unlikely female has already captured his attention. (She, a Barbie type, was a thrift store find a few weeks back.) It must be the cleavage.
Anyone know who he is?

What a hunk!
ReplyDeleteI like these action figures. I have a couple in my collection including him. http://i-luv-dolls.blogspot.com/search/label/Ultra%20Corp His head came in two complexions, dark like you have and medium brown. The original clothing for him was just OK. His hands make it hare to put a shirt on him but there are some great things he can wear.
ReplyDeleteLimbe dolls - He indeed is a hunk!
ReplyDeleteThank you Ms. Leo for helping me identify my new man as Junkyard Mountain Recon by Ultra Corps. I will have to give him a better name, something more appropriate and something that "I" can remember. Thanks again!

He is nice looking!
ReplyDeleteHmmpt! Did I spell that right. What a body! Nice face, too. I'm betting it's the cleavage, too. He looks like that type. She has a nice face and nice hair, but I am sure that he hasn't seen it yet. Might take a few months before he realizes she has a face.
ReplyDeleteI love the Ultra Corps guys. I have a few of them before they shortened them and gave them permanent clothes.
ReplyDeleteShortened and permanent clothes? What a no-no. It's great that you grabbed a few before the company made that terrible move.

@Vanessa - ROTFLMBO. "I'm betting it's the cleavage, too. He looks like that type."
ReplyDeleteBDE, your guy is cute. Most of the Lanard guys I have seen were not so cute though. The only Lanard figures that I have are the I-Girls.
Thanks for sharing the link and making me aware of the Lanard's I-Girls, D7ana. They look a lot like Barbie.
