    Do it yourself Bionic Men



    My model kit building skills were super weak when these came out so i never had the pleasure of painting Steve Austin beating up an outlaw biker.

        Was the alligator tied into some kidnapping plot? Why the briefcase of money?

          The biker guy looks like he's 8 feet tall compared to Steve, but it may be the angle of the photo.

          Those are neat! Never knew about these at all.

            During the run of The Six Million Dollar Man, and The Bionic Woman an American company called Fundimensions (also known as MPC) issued a series of snap-together (no glue required) model kits featuring Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers. In the UK, the kits were released by Denys Fisher.In Australia the kits were released by Toltoys with artwork identical to the US release. At least four kits, which formed diorama scenes, were issued for The Six Million Dollar Man (note: the article "The" is left off


            If you're curious to see the art, cartoon stories on the box sides to explain the scenarios, etc., try Google image searches, then hit *large image options

              I definitely remember these. My brother had the one of Steve in an orange NASA jumpsuit dropkicking a steel door.

                I'll take the alligator kit. It took me a second to figure out what was happening to Evil Rider.

                          cool. I never really got into models as a kid but so many from the 70s are just super cool

                            Isn't it interesting that neither of them feature the red running suit that was used in so much of the marketing?

                              That's the one I always wanted, the art looked so cool. I like the alligator, too.

                              Didn't the Steve models have removable clothing panels revealing bionics? I seem to recall that.
