My Pal Sharry sent me this one based on the classic 70’s TV series. The book is by Rand McNally. the people best known for Road Atlases and the like. You’d think they’d have come up with a kid’s division name but this is back when the company expanded into children’s products. The art in […]
Some more vintage photos from Wes Booth, this one is rather timely, it’s Wes opening up a Sam Cobra from the Marx Johnny west line. You’ll also notice a Superfriends Colouring Book that we reviewed here at the bottom right. Not only did Wes get a Best of the West Horse but I see the […]
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 […]
G.I. Joe meets the Six Million Dollar Man, that’s a cross over that happened more than once in my house. This page comes from Simpsons, a long gone Canadian retailer.Speaking of cross overs, you can see the other side to this beautiful double page spread (which features Big Jim and Mego) at the Megomuseum. It’s […]
ACTION FIGURES, CLASSIC 70’S by ~dusty-abell on deviantARTI got sent a link to this amazing piece by Dusty Abell last night and just had to showcase it today. This is pretty much how things looked in my six year old mind, I’m truly floored and need to get a copy of this somehow for my […]

More Bionic Catalogs will follow in the coming months! Bonus Feature, Steve and Jaime knock off figures from the UK, these little guys have Tomland bodies (like […]
I love Steve’s funky lime green colored jumpsuit in this illustration, ahh the days before style guides……And how incredibly bad ass is this Bionic Man Robe and Pajamas?Coming tomorrow: The Forgotten Bionic Villain
I’m not a 100% on the origins of these images but reader Brendan sent them to me last month, it’s Lee in all his SMDM glory days along with I’m assuming his agent at a Toy Store appearance. I wonder if Farrah was waiting in the car?
The Six Million Dollar Man “Tower of Power” playset gives you not only an Evel Kneivel esque vibe but also, 3 3/4″ versions of Steve Austin and Bigfoot that can interact with your Stars Wars guys and Pocket Heroes.Exactly why Steve Austin and Bigfoot are racing cars is anyone’s guess.
I never paid much attention to Bionic Woman Merchandise as a kid but the one thing I’ve noticed is they were always trying to do that dangerous mix of adventure toy and fashion doll.Take her Beauty Salon/Repair Station or her Dome House, a domesticated version of Steve’s mission control center. Although I have to admit, […]
