Kenner Knight Rider and Street Hawk in 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.

Pod Stallions 116: Burger King Onion Ring Fireside Chat

If we Letterboxed our viewing habits in 2023, we’re estimating between us we’ve spent close to one full month (maybe one with 28 days) watching everything from TV series to movies, highbrow to lowbrow and all points in between. We thought it’d be fun to wind 2023 down by recommending titles to the most discerning listeners in podcastville. So it’s another fine episode of ‘What We’ve Been Watching!’ on Pod Stallions. Hope it helps!
