I found these Kenner Toys Order Form scrounging around in my dad’s files (he was good at keeping things) and it needed to be shared. These are from 1975 and 1977 AKA my earliest years of playing with action figures. It’s just so fun to find out how much our classic toys cost. Oh and […]

I’ve mentioned this Maskatron rip off before in our countdown of Bionic Knock Offs but I’ve always wanted to circle back to it because it’s such a wonderful attempt to capture as many genres as possible with one cheap toy, so let’s have a more detailed look shall we? First off, the card art itself […]

In this we discuss the series itself, the spin offs and the crazy/wonderful merchandise that made Christmas more memorable. We go through the […]
In the Spring of 1977 Kenner issued this supplemental catalog to retailers to showcase the innovations in their (then) biggest hit toy lines, the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman. Bionic fever would wane the following year but this was truly a golden time from Bionic fans. Check out the Kenner Bionic Spring […]
With the double whammy of Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman on each week, Kenner pulled out all the stops in 1977 in terms of product, with over 24 pages of products to choose from this is truly the spike in the Bionic Craze. It’s interesting to note that despite her show being action […]
