Tenth Birthday Special Guest Post: Dressing Up Der Kaiser by Arto


I decided to dress up my vintage find from last summer for the Birthday bash.

Its the Lion Rock Franz Beckenbauer doll. Yes, Der Kaiser himself!

The back & white contraption is for the kicking mechanism. 

Cheers

  1. What a fab find in this condition, Arto. He has the classic look of '70s football legend. Wonder if he was tied in with an Addidas special promotion?
    I can't decide, is he 1/6 Action Man scale, or smaller like other Lion Rock figures?
    Either way, a lovely action figure! It's brilliant to see Beckenbauer to the blogs birthday bash :)

  2. Hi Tony, glad you like it, it was a surprise find from last summer and saved for the Bloggiversary. I have had one example before, but not with all the accessories.

    He measures 24,5 cms or 9 2/3 inches exactly, so he's more Action Man scale I would think.

    Let's keep celebrating!

  3. About the Adidas tie-in, I think this was one of the first toy tie-ins for them, if not the very first.
