bionic man

Re: bionic man

I had both the Bionic Man and Maskatron - both of them great fun. I also remember that the Bionic Man figure had a push-button in his back that you kept pressing to lift his arm up in stages as he lifted an orange, rubber girder. I'd forgotten about the bionic eye bit

Lifting the engine block came first, followed by the orange girder

ps I've added some Bionic Woman pics to her thread too, here: bionicwoman

Oh yeah, the weapons of Maskatron - I forgot about those, I was just focusing on the different faces! Wiked.

Re: bionic man

Hi peeps, Branny, were You refering to John saxon playing the bionic man in the tv series , If so then it wasent a bad guess as he certainly dad the physique in his early days, however STEVE AUSTIN the worlds first bionic man.... was played by LEE MAJORS who also stared in the later series FALL GUY wich was also a huge sucess.

No I was referring to John Saxon playing the character Major Frederick Sloan who the Maskatron figure was based on from the episode Day of the robot (1974)

My Mum's guilty of doing that a few times, it became known as "Mainprizing" from the family who seemed to gain the most from this.

Re: bionic man

I had him and his rocket, a backpack that was also a radio and his enemy Maskatron. I think John Saxon played him in the series. It was one of my favourite series and toys as a child. Might have to try and get them again on e bay.

That's who I was trying to think of Maskatron

Re: bionic man

That rocket was pretty cool - but nowhere near as cool as Oscar Goldman's exploding briefcase!
Needs a little clean up, but mine still works.

Yep I remember that,there was also some sort of alien you could buy but I can't remember it's name.
