Six Million Dollar Man Fan Club Kit

[RSS]

So let me paint the picture, it's 1976 and my mother comes rushing into my room with this card and tells me if I fill it out, I'll get an autographed picture of Steve Austin and all kinds of other neat stuff for free! I agree it's pretty great and quickly store the card in my desk to be filled out at a later date because I WAS SO BUSY AT SIX YEARS OF AGE.

Flash forward a few months and a school chum shows me the AWESOME Six Million Dollar Man stuff he got. You'd think this would have been a valuable lesson that would have haunted me for a lifetime but no, my bill paying skills still just barely keep the wolves away. It took me 34 years to finally make this kit mine and I'll share more of it with you after the jump:

First off you get a little laminated badge that kind of pimps the Kenner brand a little, seems like preaching to the converted but I'm not complaining.

Something you should carry in your wallet all the times.

I never really tire of this graphic and getting it as a big sticker is just wonderful.

I love this art, I'm not sure if Kenner used it anywhere else (I don't have a large Bionic collection)


If you click on this it'll open larger so you can print it out and put your name on it. I want to point out the sad fact that I have no idea where my University diploma is but I have one of these on my wall.


Ah yeah Money shot! I may not have Lee Majors autograph (hopefully someday) but I do have Col. Steve Austin's. Advantage: Brian.

I saw the ad in catalogs but like you, I never partook.

I like the circular logo on the certificate that is a lot like the round insignia they had on the prototype figure seen in packaging photos and commercials

I was never a huge fan of the show, but I always loved that picture of him with the Skylab III patch.

I was a member of that club! After I received my membership packet, it was kept in my Dad's old, enormous, flip-top, wooden stereo-radio. I have no idea what happened to it after we moved in the early 80's. :( Oscar would be ashamed.

Kenner was really the kid-friendliest toy company of the time. They offered a fan club for about everything, and lots and LOTS of mail-ins. The Super Powers Fan Club of 10 years later had very similar items.

I was too young to be a member
