Kenner wins packaging award, Bionic Man

This article from 1976 is in celebration of Kenner winning packaging awards from two different associations for the Steve Scout and Six Million Dollar Man toy lines, respectively. With the Bionic Toylines, the colour pink was traditionally considered taboo in boy’s toys (as was black), but in doing this, Kenner stood apart in the action aisle. I associate pink with two toylines, Kenner Steve Austin and Mego Batman; it’s been 50 years, and I still think that. Well done, Kenner.

Below is a parade of Bionic Man endcaps, enjoy.

Steve Scout: Rescue at Eagle Creek

Mantooth — Tue, 02 May 2017 13:14:00 +0000

Being a toy collector, I am very drawn to “Catalog Exclusive” items even if i don’t actually collect the line.

This Ward’s exclusive set for Kenner’s Steve Scout is new to me, anybody have one in the box? I’d be curious to see it.

More Steve Scout.

It would have been disappointing if the Boy Scouts had condemned him…

Scout’s Honour

Mantooth — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 13:55:00 +0000

Kenner’s Steve and Bob Scout line was an answer to other “Razor and razor blades” adventure lines like Big Jim and G.I. Joe but with a sharp focus on being wholesome. Steve and Bob were 9″ Mego like figures that had well made outfits and accesories. Visit the Plaid Stallions Steve Scout Gallery for more pictures and info.
