The 1977 ABC TV series made the then fifty year old characters of Joe and Frank Hardy into super styling studs of the late seventies. These teen heart throbs didn’t go unnoticed by the good people at Kenner (seeing as they had more than their fair share of success with another ABC series) and in 1978, these two action figures appeared.

Shaun Cassidy comes with a guitar, woooo!

Parker Stevenson gets a radio backpack, which is neat but not as cool as a guitar.

It would suck to always have to be carrying around the crappy amp for my brother’s cool guitar…

I think that radio backpack might be a repurposed Six Million Dollar Man communicator backpack (I’ve got one of those somewhere in the basement).
