The Many Faces of Johnny

The Many Faces of Sam Cobra / Sir Stuart

This sculpt started life as Sir Stuart in 1968. Sam Cobra quickly used the head from 1972 - 1975.

This head was also used for other figures from Mexico.

As this site is still a work in progress, I've avoided stating which version came when, but this listing is in what I believe was the order of production.
