Kenner TTP goes Bionic
In 1977 Bionic Man-ia (get it?) was still running so high that kids everywhere were asking Santa for a doll of a middle aged man in a bad sports coat (self included BTW). So the only logical thing to do was expand upon the licenses offerings (I’m writing this sipping out of a Bionic Man travel mug so hey, still works!).
So Kenner took the brand and stapled it to their popular concept of “Turbo Tower of Power”, so Steve, Jaime and even Big Foot got some shiny motor cycles and went cruising. Sure, they all were super humans capable of running faster than a car, the upside is this is the closest we got a 3 3/4″ Six Million Dollar Man line and it’s pretty darn cool.

Still have the figures
did you guys notice that it's none other than TV's Gary Coleman launching Steve Austin in that ad?
I wish I still had these! I've got a Six Million Dollar Man Beach towel though.
I have a TTP Bionic Thrill Set .. I cannot for the life of me find any trace of it in Kenner literature…it has to be there somewhere
I have recently purchased a set of the labels for this as well as the bionic btrs that are in mint shape…im also looking for the instructions on how to apply the labels for the bionic thrill set. I know on e-bay there is a person selling repro labels for many toys series including the bionic toys..im also looking for labels for the b.w. sports car and a replacement label for the bionic fembot (the face)
