Shazamas
Shazam, Scooby Doo, Star Trek and the Six Million Dollar Man, that’s pretty much all the S words I knew at six.
The Six Million Dollar Man Factory
Here they are, the people that likely made your Six Million Dollar Man doll as a kid. When I see stuff like this I wonder if in the ones pictured, is my childhood Steve Austin.
Empire Toys Helicopters
I get a lot of confused emails about the Empire Toys brand of Helicopter, for those not in the know Empire made licensed helicopters and vans for properties like CHiPs and Spiderman. It was all kind “wink, wink put your Mego dolls in here” or in the case of the Six Million Dollar man, they […]
Six Million Dollar Man Models
I have a fond memory of these kits, there was a “Bionic Bust-Out” in my local variety store from the day they came out up until I graduated high school. I always planned on buying it but never did, I still sometimes go there to see if it’s accidently buried on a shelf…. Here’s Lee […]

The Six Million Dollar Man Trading Card

The End of the line for the Bionic Man and Woman
1978 saw the end of Kenner’s wildly popular Six Million Dollar man line. Despite dwindling sales, Kenner revamped Steve with “Bio Sonic” power and gave him a new villain to fight in the form of the Venus Space Probe. So while Steve Austin might have been on his way out, he certainly went with a […]

It’s always time to be cool
As an adult, I waffle between choosing the Six Million Dollar Man watch or the Cookie Monster. Basically the person I’d like to be and the one that I’m actually like.
