THEY BUILT AN ICONIC TOY !!!
YOU COULD TAKE HIM APART AND REPLACE HIS LIMBS !!
This figure is the bomb! HUGE 12" Tall!! An eye that can see long distances !! Removable chips in his arm!! Rubberized "skin" that peels back to reveal his bionics - time has taken mine. Limbs that come off and you could buy replacement limbs to change out....or if you go to a garage sale and find other Austins with the other versions of the Bionic Arm you could use.
In short, this figure RULES!!!
I played the hell out of this figure and have such fond memories of it. When I got some Star Wars 12" - Han Vader IG88 Fett- along with Maskatron and Goldman from this line I had some cool adventures. For some reason Six Million Dollar man accessories were always at garage sales and I had a ton. For 12" figure play you had to have a ton of stuff to go with em!!
In 1975 Kenner Ruled the Toy world and Thanks to them for making such awesome memories !!
I also a lot of good memory's of Steve Austin and Maskatron fighting it out.The only thing I have left of Steve Austin is the motor that came with him to lift.

DeleteI saw this guy at an antique fair last weekend. The first thing I did was pick him up and gaze through his bionic eye!
ReplyDeleteMines a bit cloudy but it brings back memories lookin through that eye!!
DeleteYup, had him as well. Good times! I remember Maskatron kinda freaked me out as a kid with that robot face.
ReplyDeleteI had Maskatron too, He ruled!!! I remember I got Bigfoot as a present and he freaked me out ! My Mom had to take him back.....I wish she just hid it then I'd find it MIB 30 years later!! How awesome would that have been !
DeleteHe's naked!?
