    The Six Million Dollar Man Factory


    Here they are, the people that likely made your Six Million Dollar Man doll as a kid. When I see stuff like this I wonder if in the ones pictured, is my childhood Steve Austin.

    WOW! What a cool pic! I babysat for a kid today, and we were playing SMDM/BW. I wonder if mine is in that pic. (I have 2)

      I'd love to see video of stuff like this. The pieces coming out of the molds, heads getting painted, costumes being cut & sewn, assembly...that would be neat.
      I have a DVD with old commercials and they have a short movie about a Robby Robot from the late 50's (not the movie one) being designed, built and packaged in the factory.

                  It's a factory in 1970s Hong Kong, I have advertisements for doing trade in HK that show much worse looking surrounds and this is what they used to promote it!

                    Its very very interesting , great post and I love seeing but In away shocking I had my own ideas what Kenner's factory looked like in my own mind Pure white surroundings posters on the wall and loads of funky looking American people making them all hahaha

                        That's amazing to see. Are any similar shots involving Mego figures known to exist?
