Tomorrow is the conclusion of Black History Month, and I can't think of a better way to end that month than with an action figure of one of the greatest athletes of all time, Muhammad Ali.
Ali was the reigning world champion when Mego made this 9-inch toy, which should have some sort of trigger device on its back to make the champ's arms swing in a punching motion. Unfortunately, the trigger had long since vanished by the time I picked him up on eBay.
The figure does not, in fact, float like a butterfly, nor sting like a bee. However, the face sculpt is a very nice resemblance to Ali, and he still looks imposing standing on my shelf at home (or, for today, atop my workstation).
