Six Million Dollar Man 1st Edition By Kenner Toys In 1975 (Revisited)

[@walterheinen5298]

Still have my 2nd Gen from childhood, virtually mint. I was getting older when I got it and didn’t play as much with it. It survived in a shoe box all these years and now displays proudly on a shelf in my home. It has started a action collection frenzy as I have aged. Great post. Thanks for the memories.

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

1970's I received the 1st edition SMDM fig and repair station over the yrs I slowly let it go in yard sales but about 15 yrs ago I started finding items of it and recollecting it back and much much more things I never even had as a child ,I hav a complete dvd set and enjoy sitting down and watch few ep's as a child I was always glued to the tube every show

Nice Revisited Video of my all-time favorite toy-line produced by Kenner Toys!

[@DanClassic]

Great video as usual. 6 Million Dollar Man is so iconic. It's odd how we haven't seen this property rebooted or remade in recent years. With the right story, and a little updating whoever owns the property could make a mint.

[@justafanofnerdculture7602]

Man, I really enjoyed watching this video! I never owned any of the Six Million Dollar Man figures when I was a kid, but my best friend (at the time) Khali, did. He owned Steve in his red track suit and he had the bionic transport/repair set. I always wanted all of, both the SMDM and Bionic Woman toys because I was (and still am) a huge fan of the franchise. Finally, after all of these years, at 48 years old, I finally purchased The SMDM, Jaime Somers and Oscar Goldman figures on eBay late last year. So happy to finally have them in my toy collection!

[@johnwild8336]

Thanks.

[@donnellwilliams6272]

The best toys ever made. Still have my collection.

[@nostalgicforthe70s18]

Hi John I hope you are doing well. Thanks for revisiting one of my favourite toy lines. Enjoy your toy videos.

[@johnwild8336]

Doing great. Hoping to make a return to video production soon. Been too long since my last one.

[@jartladder15]

Great review. I had this toy as a kid. I think my grandma got it for us. No idea why. There are a lot on ebay I'm somewhat tempted by.

[@macorourke2222]

Great video. I got a later release of the Sixmillion Dollarman action figure for Christmas of 1978. I was 5 years old. He was a present from Santa Claus. I made a macaroni Christmas tree My Senior Kiddergarden Teacher spray painted it Gold. Steve Austin was placed at My tree. Wow!! What a Christmas it was. Just had to share. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to You and Your Family 🎅🧑‍🎄👍♥️🎁🌲🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉💯💯

[@rickyfrench1262]

The Six million Dollar Man has been the most cursed in my opinion. Took forever/decades for the tv series to finally be released on dvd. And now it’s in the years of trying to make a new movie the six billion dollar man. Unreal. I will always love the six million dollar man tv series/movies and toys. Sure wish McFarlane or Neca would start making these figures again. Kenner was amazing and the sculpt of Lee Majors is amazing especially back almost 48 years ago today.

[@MattHill_olpband]

Six Million Dollar Man 1st Edition is so epic and so much great information and so much fun

[@johntaylor6345]

I loved the tv show which we all as a family watched. I loved it. I had annuals posters and of course the Steve Austin action figure which was my pride and joy because I had to save my money to get it. Happy days happy memories.

[@Vintage_GenX]

Six Million Dollar Man... my absolute favorite toy of all time...Evel Knievel with bike was my second. AND remember it was an ACTION FIGURE and NOT a DOLL !! 😃😃😃

[@sebastiendenayce2700]

I still own my action figure since I was a kid, it was one of my favorite toys ever 😇

[@jonathanlee3284]

Absolutely love this toy❤

[@philnewton-england7795]

Wow. I never knew there were 2 different releases. I've still got Steve, Oscar Goldman & Maskatron. I'll have to dig them out & see what condition they're all in. I did have the operating table/rocket & backpack but lost those years ago.

[@martinralph]

I had the smdm In the 70"$,I had the 2nd edition with orange girder,, it was a xmas present, I had I played with it during xmas time, summer holidays and weekends,, I watched the show on sat evenings on a portable b+w tv set,, I had no idea Steve's tracksuit was red,, 😁

[@bretasjr]

Thanks for taking me back in time!

[@davidnorton2473]

Yes I had it as a kid and absolutely loved him. I even had Oscars office play set I bet that's worth some money now. Didn't keep any of it infact I don't remember owning any of it after about 81 or 2 just like every other kid in the world except the rare few we (parents really) threw them away in the bin 😢.

[@basketsresale]

Awesome Just picked one up at a estate sale

[@Mr67Stanger]

I had the Rocket/Lab set. It was a great toy to play with. Very high quality. Since it was about the same size of GI Joe, I sometimes "crossed universes" lol! Thank you for the review.

[@darrellsheeley6585]

I had one. I remember sitting him on the washing machine and he fell off and it broke off his left foot. It also broke my 10 year old heart. That foot got glued on many times over the next few years.

[@adrianmcgachie]

I had the red track suit figure and the transport / repair centre. It was brilliant! I so desperately wanted the crystal radio set but never got it!

[@paulsstuff1969]

I loved this video. I have fairly recently started collecting SMDM figures and so it had lots of useful information, thank you. I Had a Maskatron as a child but always wanted a Steve Austin in his red track suit. I am in the UK, and so I remember these in the Denys Fisher style closed boxes when I saw them on toy shop shelves back in the day. Once again thank you for such a great video on this subject. I look forward to more in the future.

[@ILoooooveCamels]

Steve Austin and his toys were a little before my time, but I've been fascinated by this figure and the line for years. Maybe it's time to buy in!

[@TimeVault1]

Awesome! ty 4 sharing. Hope ur still posting

[@Ed-jv3xu]

This was my favorite doll ever 💪❤️

[@stirlingpickett5253]

Just purchased a second edition six million dollar man I'm pretty excited

[@salvatorebarbato2538]

Excellent Video!

[@DV80s]

I never had a Six Million Dollar man figure. My cousins always had everything and they had this figure. I don't know what version they had, but I remember looking through the back of the head to look out his eye. I didn't even recall his other features, probably because I didn't own the figure so I never got to check out the cybernetics in his arm.

[@m.i.bmastertoymuseum1979]

Excellent video brother !!!! I'm going to have to start collecting these beautiful figures !!!!

[@johnwild8336]

Definitely a good one to have in your Collection. Thanks for the support.

[@m.i.bmastertoymuseum1979]

@@johnwild8336 You are absolutely welcome brother !!! I am researching a few mint in box examples of this figure, so hopefully I will be able to have this beautiful figure in my museum collection

[@ultimatopology2075]

Nice report. Thanks. I have a foot and shoe from my Six Million Dollar Man figure bought in Truro UK Argos in 1978. The rest of him should be somewhere if I can find it.

[@Resolution1on1]

I didn't clean my room as a kid... my MOM threw my Six Million Dollar Man doll in the trash!! 😪😪😪

[@leninmercedes6567]

I have a first edition six million dollar man. Like you said in your very informative video. The foreskin on the right arm is barely torn. Just barely exposing the bionic compartment on the forearm. I don’t dare to roll it up father. I have two bionic transport. Both in very good condition. Expect one is missing some parts. Interesting note on the transport. Some came with a clear dashboard bellow the window. Other came with a tinted one. Just an fyi. Thanks again. Foe a great video

[@johnwild8336]

Thanks for watching. Great comment.

[@scotttaylor1441]

You are the six million dollar man guru!

[@macorourke2222]

Also I Am a Collector of the Sixmillion Dollarman and DollarWoman Vintage action figures. I only need two boxed examples. The first a Sixmillion Dollarman action figure. The second the Sixmillion DollarWoman action figure. I Love this Vintage Toyline😀👍♥️🇨🇦🇺🇸🇬🇧🎉🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏👏🎉🎉💯💯

[@johnwild8336]

Great comment. Thanks for watching.

[@shawnj547]

Yes I did had a $6 million Dollar Man as a kid it was one of my favorite action figure I want to know when we going to get evil Knievel review

[@camcordernonsense5264]

no wonder I have seen so much varianted stuff. it's been changed over and over

[@craigcoe5332]

I got mine for Christmas 1975. I was like looking at the figure like what the hell. It was in a pinkish red box, and I was kinda like, this is a wack toy. But seeing as I was a really big fan of the show, I rolled with it and got past the weird box color. I collected a few of the sealed boxes years ago, like Bionic Bigfoot and maskatron, bionic woman and Oscar too. All are now sold off except one that's been played with. Maybe I will buy a bionic Bigfoot again someday. They are nice to just look at.

[@jasongarcia3190]

Thank you for the video

[@lostonwallace1396]

I still have an original figure. It's all there, and everything still works, but I do have a repro box for him, as my original box perished long ago.

[@BOHICA01]

Commercial was awesome addition

[@gervais.d8399]

Still have mine in the box. I'm 53 years old lol

[@garyhaskins7482]

I had this when I was a kid and want one just to look through the bionic eye😊

[@ismaelrodriguez6420]

As a kid I did have the first edition of Steve Austin, Oscar Goldman, Maskatron, and Jaimie Summers. I also had the car, Oscar's office playset, and Jaimie's country cottage. What can I say, I was a lucky kid. :-)

[@johnwild8336]

Indeed. Thanks for watching

[@Black_Patriot-Veteran-1970]

I've got a 1st 2nd and 3rd edition Steve Austin figures, complete, but no box. Also a Mint Maskatron and Fembot with pretty beat up boxes. I also have Oscar Goldman and Jaime Summers figures but missing some stuff out of the briefcase and Mission purse, respectively.

[@TheHorndOne]

I had one of these. I used to drive my mother nuts ratcheting the bionic arm so many times, The skin was always the one item that wore out the quickest. This was due to the 'inexpensive' (cheap) elastic rubber used. Kenner rarely sent a replacement by request & SASE I remember that each of the shirt pockets could hold a Chicklet each, simulating the 'sensors' seen in the first TV movie.

[@starchad1969]

I just found a vintage figure that is missing his right arm, but has his track suit, shoes, and socks. I am tring to find a replacement arm and motor (I sold one a few years ago) to complete him. I had one of these as a kid so I have always wanted one to add tomy collection. Where is the best place to find these reasonably priced? On ebay I can buy the whole figure complete for what it costs just for these 2 parts. Any suggestions.

[@paulleese3421]

Just re bought one need some red track shoes any ideas where to get best price

[@justsomeone4543]

There are FaceBook groups for the SMDM toys as well as fan groups, you can join them and ask around. If not then there is Ebay and you'll just have to be careful shopping there.

[@michaelangelioliebers7601]

I do have the 6 million dollarman toy with big foot and plan on getting other figurines Oscar Goldman and maskatron

[@ryanenglade9]

Do you have a extra original 1st edition shirt for sale with elastic cuffs

[@thebackwoodsboysgarage9144]

4:18 mine still got the original 1970s rubber still intact it is hard 2 find em with original rubber still

[@iceblueeyes9455]

Mine came with a rubber I beam and arm working red button n his back and a other button under rubber skin still got all cloths and red tennis shoes

[@cantonese8085]

I had this ❤️

[@camcordernonsense5264]

is that video sped up or did they really endanger a stunt man and a kenner doll for that awesome commercial?

[@rickyfrench1262]

Anyone know if any space probes are on video ? Amazing how there are 0 videos about tht toy. I know it was released late and not so many but still……

[@johnwild8336]

Still looking.

[@johnwild8336]

Still looking.

[@rickyfrench1262]

I haven’t been able to find any.

[@rickyfrench1262]

Someone finally put a video of the probe but it’s only a minute + and comments turned off. SMH

[@marceloillanes175]

Does anyone know...What was the price (aprox) of this action figure in 1975?

[@johnwild8336]

Loose with all accessories, around $75 to $100.

[@michaelangelioliebers7601]

I do have the collections of Six Million Dollarman toy with susquatch and Oscar Goldman and have acomic book and the DVD collection of the tv series and working on getting the maskatron etc

[@jclay6680]

Just saying : but in the tv show , imagin if he lifted something heavy and broke his spine . 😂😂

[@Ohitsanegg]

I wish I had my 6 million dollar man and I also had The Bionic woman and I've often thought of collecting Six Million Dollar Man but I have another question does anybody remember the cards like baseball cards but the back made a bigger picture when you put nine of them together.

[@atariboy9084]

I was 4 when I started getting Six Million Dollar Man toys in 76 and still getting them even when Star Wars was out I just finish cleaning them off using Dawn dish soup and glass cleaner for the clear plastics I took photo on some of my collection - imgur.com/a/WcZ1Xr5 And yes Im still trying to get the rest I missing like Jaime's red car and Steve's outfits. So far I have like 11 Steve Austin and 5 Maskatron figures alone but for the life of me every time I try getting any Oscar Goldman figures he always missing his pants... XD

[@robertveith6383]

Steve would not be able to lift the engine up without falling over, because it is so much heavier than he is.

[@shadowone6901]

Love this toy I had this toy when I was younger 😊

[@meljenins2854]

What a nice collection you have I have a few myself spent quite a bit off of eBay trying to get vintage socks for all of them the only one I'm missing now is the Bigfoot I'm not willing to pay a big heavy price for it might have to

[@Allemaalpannenkoeken]

I had one, and a sort of Rocket/lab he can put in

[@johnmcpherson6621]

i have still in box

[@tron3entertainment]

Where's the 6MDM with the flashing eye? I recall seeing one as a kid, and you tapped the top of his head to make the light blink.

[@johnwild8336]

That was Atomic Mike. GI Joe. Thanks for watching.

[@tracyrunyan3329]

Didn't this figure also have bionic modules in the legs?

[@robcesp2]

No, only if you purchased the critical assignment legs.

[@johnwild8336]

You might be thinking about the Bionic Woman Action Figure. Thanks for watching.

[@flintdavis2]

I wish I had my gifted bionic man doll, I do have a bionic woman doll. I don’t care about originality a remake, I’ll take. It’s only a plastic toy. These Bozo’s that spend hundreds of dollars for plastic? If it floats your boat, more power to ya. Now I’m on a mission to build my own 🤔

[@BanthaPooDoo64]

Just trying contact u ,to see how ur doing hope all is well ur way

[@candacecherry2846]

My brother hade one

[@Black_Patriot-Veteran-1970]

It's hard to see the arm skin and not think of a condom.

[@ericeinar]

I wanted one ssssoooo bad in my youth!
