Six Million Dollar Man

[DocDrako]

As long as I get a Steve Austin in the red jogging suit, I'll be happy. But I wouldn't mind Jaime Sommers, Oscar Goldman, and Maskatron too.

Maybe they'll make part of his arm in transparent plastic (like Phantom Limb) with the bionics embedded inside. Unremovable, but still visible. But even without the bionics, I'll be happy. I can pretend they're "in" there.

OH YES!!! I hope if they do make Maskatron and Fembot they make the figures look more like the characters' appearance in the actual episodes as opposed to the toy-ey look of the vintage Kenner ones. Exciting news but now my collection of custom 8-inch Bionic people will be obsolete. :(

Looking forward to the figures and the DVDs. Did not spluge for the Time-Life set, but will buy the show season-by-season. I hope they hold up at least some. I saw a few episodes in syndication in the 80s, but really haven't watched it since first run in the 70s.

I remember this goofy kind in elementary school. He wouldn't run or jump without mouthing bionic sound effects. He finally quit in 4th-grade football when the coach made fun of him and forced him to run laps until he quit.

Can't wait to see Bigfoot! Maybe tonight?

Comic Con 2011....Let's see some photos! BTW have a blast!

[Delusional B]

Can't wait to see Bigfoot! Maybe tonight?

Same here... I was REALLY hoping we'd see something on Bigfoot, by now, from NY Comic Con.

[pmwasson]

I'm sure somebody will post a picture later today.

Is it okay to build an army of Bigfoots (Bigfeet?)

[rche]

High hopes for the Bigfoot. I need a couple to mod into wookies.

[starsky]

when will prototype pics be up?

I may be in a class by myself when I say this, but I hope that this Six Million Dollar Man lineup will include Dr. Rudy Wells. I never understood why Rudy was left out of the Kenner Lines, and I don't care which version of him is made, just as long as we have the good bionic doctor. I hope Oscar Goldman has glasses and a better suit than the Kenner version. Heck, even the Clark Kent glasses will do.
And for Steve Austin, I'd like to see variants. We had them with Fonzie. Other than the original head and the red jogging suit, I'd like to see the all khaki or grey outfit from his missions, one of his leisure suits, a head variant with the mustache, and I'm probably the only one who wants it, but I'd like to see a season 5 head with the thick hair variant. Who knows? Maybe that head could go for a future Fall Guy lineup?

Anyway, those are my hopes for the SMDM. But I admit, I also hope they make the Bionic Woman, namely Jaime and Max the Dog.
Cheers.
