I finally got a boxed Lone Ranger and in excellent condition. The pants may be discolored though. But I think it looks better than the all blue outfit. But then the blue outfit is a superhero outfit along with the mask. He may have been a very early superhero.
This one isn't as stiff as Tonto from yesterday and comes with a comic book with the origin of the Lone Ranger. Butch Cavendish ambushes a party of Rangers led by the Lone Ranger's brother. Butch Cavendish and his gang ambush the rangers and all are killed but the Lone Ranger who was not the Lone ranger at that time. Tonto finds him and brings him back to health.
Hubley made these figures in the US during the 1970s. I think this series was more popular in Europe where it was made by Marx which was using the Marx name under license.
Now to get back to looking for my missing Matchbox car.
No one could match the Lone Ranger, always will love them !~
