Six Million Dollar Man
|
|
"We can rebuild him."
And so could thousands of young boys thanks to Kenner's
excellent line of toys for the Six Million Dollar Man
TV series.
 There
was, of course, Steve himself, as well as Jaime
Sommers, his erstwhile girlfriend, Oscar
Goldman, the sharp dressed boss man, Maskatron,
Steve's more expensive arch enemy, and the character
no one could forget, Bionic
Bigfoot.
Kenner produced a truly stunning number of accessories
for Steve, as well as nearly half a dozen versions of
our hero.
 As
a toy, Steve had it all. A bionic eye you could look
through. A bionic arm with pop out bionic modules and
roll back elastic skin. A bionic grip that could grab
on to items like a steel girder or a motor. With a twist
of his head and a push on the lever in his back, Steve
could lift damn near anything.

 Jaime
Sommers started off life as Steve Austin's girlfriend.
But after a nasty accident, Steve had her turned into
the Bionic Woman. Unfortunately for Steve, she had amnesia
and couldn't remember him. Fortunately for Jaime, she
got her own TV show and a line of toys.
Jaime came decked out with a Bionic Mission purse full
of goodies, bionic hearing (whoopie) and hair that was
guaranteed to get gross and mangled within a week of
being opened.
Kenner was aiming this bionic toy at the girls, with
accessories like fasion dresses and a carriage house
to play dolls in. Not that Steve and Jaime are anything
like Ken and Barbi...

Villains abounded for our intreped bionic pals to go up
against. Steve had Maskatron, a fellow bionic man who
the OSI spent an extra million on, bringing the total
to 7 million. Masky came with three different faces, his
own, Steve's and Oscar Goldman's, as well as some very
cool attachment arms. Jamie had the evil, but sexy, bionic
Fembots who, like Maskatron, could remove their faces.
Then there was Bionic Bigfoot, who was sort of an enemy,
sort of a pal, depending on how you felt like playing
that day. |

 Of
course, you can't forget Oscar Goldman. Oscar was the
OSI toadie that was always sending Steve and Jaime into
harm's way. He was also the stylin dude with the hot
disco threads. Kenner's rendition of good ol' Oscar
was pretty much true to the character, with a posh plaid
jacket and turtle neck. He did also come with an exploding
briefcase, if you didn't open it the right way, all
the documents looked destroyed
