Dr Steel International

My pal Jesus posted this yesterday and it’s too good not to share, behold the many different faces of Dr. Steel one of my favourite action figures of the 1970s.

Mainly known as Dr. Steel, the notable exceptions are when he’s called “Dr. Acero” (Steel) in Spain and “Doctor Drago” in Mexico but that’s only because Big Jim himself is called “Kid Acero” there.

That’s probably a lot to take in, sorry.

I love these figures!

Do you think, that Dr. Steel was kind of inspired, by [Mr.] Caine, of Kung Fu, or by Mr. Yul Brynner's Asian-inspired movies, from around the 1970s?
