Super Size Bionic Woman

[RSS]

In 1977, the British Distributor of Kenner toys Denys Fisher, produced an 18" tall version of Jaime Sommers and marketed more like a fashion doll. Pity they didn't do a Steve as well.


These little foreign variants are what drew me into toy collecting in the first place, I loved discovering what's out there and what i missed as kid, so to speak. Even though my collection is "Bionic Woman Free" for the most part, I can really dig and appreciate cool grail pieces like this.

I have coveted these ever since I saw them at toy shows. And man were they expensive! That styling head is a great likeness of Lindsay Wagner. As a kid, I was always denied styling head dolls, b/c I had hair play dolls like Crissy or Tiffany Taylor.

Dang, that styling head IS life-like. To be honest, it's a bit creepy! Those things always freaked me out a bit. My sister had a least one Barbie version, and I don't think my young mind knew what to make of it.

It's fascinating that the super-sized doll packaging has NO mention of The Bionic Woman on it anywhere!

Always wanted to add the 18" Jamie to my Bionic collection, but they are hard to come by!

Took the words right out of my mouth Chris. Incredible likeness.

^ + 1. Holy cow!

Good thing that she's a pretty woman. It's so lifelike...imagine waking up in the middle of the night with it staring back at you.

There was a near-mint-in-box Jaime styling head on eBay a few months ago. It was a "Buy It Now" for like $60 which was a steal. Stupidly, I waited about a half hour to "think about it" and when I went back in to buy it, she was gone. I'm still kicking myself over it. I don't know why I hesitated. I guess I was trying not to be impulsive. Epic fail!!

Yeah, I think that proves a toy can be too realistic. It is a little eerie.

The doll looks like it's all legs

The head --- well, let's just say if I was a kid i'd find a way to put it to use

Neat, I didn't know about these at all! Totally agree regarding foreign variants, that kind of stuff is my favourite thing to collect.
