Kenner Street Hawk and Knight Rider- 1985 Palitoy Catalog

 

As a fan of the short-lived television series “Street Hawk,” I was excited to discover some unproduced toy items hidden in the pages of this 1985 Palitoy/Parker Brothers catalogue.  The series launched that year in the US and would be cancelled after 13 episodes.

 

Kenner, we already had a toy hit with Knight Rider (see above), which Street Hawk was definitely patterned after and swept up the rights.

 

 

 

 

Kenner did manage to get the Motorcycle to store shelves but the action figures and playsets would not make it to the market. For a sample of what that would have looked like, this seller has the Street Hawk Norman Tuttle prototype. 

The planned Kenner Street Hawk figures didn’t come to fruition but thanks to Play Skool  in India and Glasslite of Brazil, we did get an “O Ring” Jessie Mach and Street Hawk.
