bionic man

[barry21]

anyone remember these?
It was an action man in every sense of the word. however, he did have an eye that was magnified which you could look through. one of his arms had an electric circuit board implanted into his arm which had a clear cover so you could see the wires.also one of his legs had the same see through cover so you could see his wires.
he came dressed in his red clothes.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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
