Video Flagged Dead

Six Million Dollar Man Promo Toy Commercial

Kids in the 70's knew how to have fun.
Destroy the terrorists who are going to attack the U.N. with a nuclear device in their van.

oh man... I used to own one of these. I completely forgot about the tubes you could hook up to him, or the creepy roll away flesh. Before I saw this clip all I could remember doing was looking through the back of the doll's head to peer out through Steve's bionic eye (complete with itsy bitsy crosshairs).

That's right, I forgot about the eye. Jamie Sommers didn't have a bionic eye..just the ear.

You know the "creepy roll away flesh" didn't fair well over the years, even dolls that's never left the box.

Same here! I didn't know there were other "playsets" either. Or is that just fluff for the commercial? Also mine could never smash through walls (I'm sure my old house has plenty of still-existing dents to prove this.)

was there some covert racism in that commercial? what's up with the shot of the black kid @1:07 looking in wide eyed amazement as Steve Austin smashes through the wall ? Also, steve flying through the window of a car was prettty intense for a kids commercial.

Pretty sure he was just a kid playing with his friend.
Black kids sometimes play with white kids .. crazy huh?

If you think going through a window is intense .. how about pretending you're trying to stop a terrorist nuke from taking out the U.N.

btw this was 30 years ago so I'd put away the letter to Kenner.

qruelsays...

woah, you mean white and black kids play together ??? no shit ?
then too bad they didn't set the shot up better instead of introducing the kid out of the blue so as it seemed liked a misplaced reaction shot.
I'm a black kid and we never played with white kids.
letter to Kenner from 30 years ago :-)
