I recall having the Regal Bobby Orr doll as a kid, mostly because one of his skates remained in my curbside until about 1980 as a constant reminder. Me not being much of a Hockey fan, never really knew what to do with him and probably just made him a member of the Adventure Team.
I always find it funny how Toy Companies market sports figures in the 1970s, Orr should be aimed at boys but instead he comes with regular fashions like a Ken doll, same thing happened with Joe Namath and later Wayne Gretzky.

i remember a friend had a Johnny Unitas jersey mixed in amongst his GI Joe clothes. I don't think it was for a Johnny Unitas doll . . . maybe it was sort of like a Capt Action thing, where they sold the uni to be worn by other Joe-sized figures?
That's Johnny Hero, the Captain Action of Sports!
He has foam rubber arms and is prone to rotting.
No Tim Horton figure?
