[ID: Waltons "Pa Walton"] Unknown Plastic Action Figure

[Missesgrim]

Does anyone know what toy this is? Name of the figure? Name of the origin?

On the back I can read that it is by the Mego company from 1974 . there are a few places on the net that have more in formation on the mego company. It could also be a fake mego too.

OMG! I recognize that face....looks like an actor. But I dont know who. I'm guessing the action figure is from a movie or tv show.

Yeah, my first instinct was Dukes of Hazzard, but I looked it up and it wasn't quite right.

[EdenEye]

Im leaning more towards movie actor. At first I thought Star Wars but that is just a thought.

Well I am German so I'm not skillful in american TV Shows but I also have the feeling that I saw this face on a vintage TV add or something before.

I'm pretty sure it is a real mego toy...I was searching with this key word and found a similar figure but with real blonde hair.

[KrystalTips]

no idea im afraid.
i asked my other half (child of the 70s lol) and he said it reminds him of the 6mil dollar man. or a bond villian or maybe captain scarlet....
dont know if it is mind you lol xxx

I looked closely at the various head mold of the Mego figures at the Mego Museum website, and it looks like the figure you have there is Pa Walton.   They only have on pic of Pa, so I can't say for sure, but none of the other figures match up with that face, and what I can see of Pa's it looks like the same smile (more like smirk, lol), just a different angle:

And this Ebay auction with Pa Walton looks like the Mego figure you have:

I can't find any info on whether the head mold was used on other Mego figures, so for now, I would say it is probably Pa Walton.

[memegans]

It doesn't look like his head belongs on that body...weird

[Missesgrim]

Thank you all so much for your answers!!!

MercurialMonster : And a special Thank to you, I guess there is no doubt that this is the figure I have PLUS: Now that I saw these images I remebered that I had these brown trousers and the shirt, Damn...I am sur I gave them away with other doll clothes!
Cannot believe that he's a Walton
THANK YOU?

Here is another Mego figure with the same body so I think the body really belongs to my figure

[EdenEye]

Uh,,,, why does that doll have hair. lol

[memegans]

He might be Thor!

Or it may be Pa Walton in his wild years

[Rider of the storm]

That looks like thor to me.

You are very welcome, Missesgrim.  

And, I third the "it's Thor" comments on the second figure posted.  Mego didn't shy away from giving the long-haired male figures brush-able hair, lol!


ETA:

Or it may be Pa Walton in his wild years

Haha, memegans, maybe that is what old Pa's smirk is about!

[Missesgrim]

Yes he is Thor, forgot to post that.

Very strange hair indeed!!!!!!
