スネ◯みたいなゴル◯

English translation: Golgo 13

Japanese term or phrase: スネ◯みたいなゴル◯
From a description for a pack of stickers in a catalog: スネ◯みたいなゴル◯,スネルゴのスタンプパックです。ユーモアたっぷりです。 (I don't have an image of the stickers.) Am trying to figure out to what the ◯'ed terms refer. The best I can find for the first is Suneo from Doraemon, but the second term is a mystery to me.

Thanks for any help.

English translation:Golgo 13
Explanation:
If スネ◯ stands for Suneo as your suggestion, the character comes up to my mind for the other one is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgo_13

I myself do not know very much about Doraemon, but according to what is said on this page, Suneo dreams to be a hard-boiled hero like Golgo 13.

The '◯' is like a question mark


Explanation:
The '◯' is like a question area that must be filled in. The reader has to think what the answer might be. It would be only one written character.
