Six Million Dollar Man - Bionic Grip - Toy Commercial (1970's)

[TheReubenKincaid]

I thought it ws odd that it Said "The Six Million Dollar Man" on his jacket. I thought his bionic powers were a secret. I also used to chew on the tennis shoes that came off..LOL



[bongodoug]

careful steve, GRIP IT!!!

[Wondermouth1]

I swear this has got to be a Saturday Night Live skit!!

[thetman102771]

i used 2 have this back in the day. i had TONS of fun with it...

[angels77100]

What a shite ad. Steve Austin as the Bionic man never ventured into Space. He was just plain old Steve Austin, Astronaut. So why are these kids being told to re-enact Steve Austin with his bionic eye & arm on a space mission? Some people! This country! Geez! I've written a strong letter of complain to the makers of this advert.

[pictureisup1]

@miken021972 I saw that asa a kid when the commerical was running on TV. I asked the same thing then at 8 years old.

[Reginald606]

Another 13"Figure From my Childhood The Six million Dollar man.

i still have him in my collection with my pulsar Figure.

[pictureisup1]

@Reginald606 I still have too I am 46

[cattaraugus41]

I had this one -- I peeled back the christmas wrapping paper just a little under the bow just to make sure it was there...THANKS MOM !

[MrPrincepop]

Remember the model where you could look through the back of Steve's head to see through out of his bionic eye? In those days we stayed outside all day playing toys like this, no cable TV, no video games (yet), no internet, just you, your buds, your toys, and a lot of imagination. Mom almost had to drag us kicking and screaming to come in the house. LOL!

[Wondermouth1]

@MrPrincepop You are so right about all that!..I know exactly what you mean..I wish we could bottle those memories and keep them close forever.

[zzzombie888]

careful steve..GRIP IT!!

[ghosttrain2066]

@miken021972 They probly aplyed early or didnt get it till that date.

[wkrpncincinnati]

remember the roll down arm skin. It was all fun and games until one day Steves rubber developed a dry rot hole. 'the bionic boy" episode came along.lol

[nibornna]

i remember when i got this doll when i was a kid. i think i still have it to this day!

[ozulu45]

thanks to video games you have two generations of FAT, LAZY, SLUGS!

[Michael55443]

This was my favorite toys for years!

[electrohippy68]

jai grandis avec ces action figures ah le bon vieu temps 

[acrovader]

I grew up a little too late to fully enjoy these larger sized figures (dolls?). I'm more of the era of 3.75" figures. My brother had Six Million Dollar Man, Evil Knevil, GI Joe guys. I was more into the micronized stuff, Micronauts, Shogun Warriors, Star Wars, 80's GI Joe, etc.

[MadSkillzTV]

0:08 LOOK AT THAT BIONIC GRIP

[BansheeMilk]

This doll kicked ass so hard it made that sound. (cue Lee Majors awesome sound effect)

[RAC22963]

GHEY

[comadjinn]

The seventies... When the life of a neanderthal comes to an end.

[tdrewman]

I HAD 1!!!!!!!!!!

[Michael55443]

OMG. I so totally had that toy. Seeing this commercial made me smile ear to ear. What fond memories of childhood.

[dgsvalrico723]

Lol i had that

[southport97]

Funny. Boys playing with dolls today would be called gay.

[PhobiaGuy]

@southport97 uh no they wouldn't! besides, they now call them action figures!

[bjggjb]

@southport97 Really? Back around '76, there was a kid in my neighborhood who had ALL the large-sized GI Joe dolls/action figures and we'd play war all day with them and shoot at them with dart pistols (the OLD kind, that had the power to shoot a suction cup dart 30 feet or better!) And then there was my Evel Knievel action figure which rode on a stuntbike from a launcher... what are kids playing with today (have things changed that much?)

[Adom]

@southport97 He was an action figure.

[plopnod]

Steel Awesome, astronaut,a man barely alive...

[prestonnevins]

I always found it mildly creepy to roll up the latex skin on his bionic arm to access inexplicable accessories like that gas mask one arm had stored in its bicep...

[berighteous]

I had one of these!

[danieljh]

My brother had one. it was a pretty amazing toy for its time.

[dewfall56]

My favorite of all toys. Had lots of extras and accessories too. Loved the TV show.

[elfishimp]

We weren't well off growing up, but damned if i didn't have all these 70's toys! Thanks Mom :)

[pictureisup1]

@elfishimp I know, right! me too!

[braincrisp1]

Awesome toy. Back then I really did think that the bionic eye worked.

[Kimpa445]

[9164151]

If only Bardbie had that.;)

[loneshewolf74]

I remember my brother owning that toy when we were really small. He wasn't very interested in action figures, so I probably played with it more than he did. :) I don't remember the astronaut suit, just the orange jumpsuit he came in.

[cyberzonie]

Ah the '70s, A great time to be a kid!

[SPICESMUGGLER71]

Worst action-figure accessory ever? A girder.

[killbucket1]

Careful, Steve, GRIP IT!

[JawsJaws]

I had to go to bed at 8 pm unless the Six Million Dollar Man was on on Mondays.

[mitra32203]

@TheAdventuresOfUs37 Your dad has a girlfriend? isn't he a little old for that? he should have a wife and telling you to hurry up and marry your girlfriend.

[TheAdventuresOfUs37]

@mitra32203

Nah, Hes only 40. He barely even has time to spend with me.

[ASH6977]

I remember i wanted this soo bad when i was a kid, and finaly got it for xmas..man kid time memories thanks for uploading...:)

[MrFukyahard]

I had these as a kid...and then my dad threw them in the garbage when renovating the basement of his house :( it's been 7 years and our relationship is still soured.

[DrozGodhammer]

wait till Bionic man uses his bionic grip in wanking!!!! BOOM!!!

[IIIIdepechemodeIIII]

a negro in a bionic man commerical? BLAHHHHHHHH

[Superbatfan]

@IIIIdepechemodeIIII

Watch what you say- someone might do to you what they did to the lady who forwarded a picture of Obama as a monkey. FYI: Rodney Allen Rippy (the Jack In The Box kid) and Flip Wilson (both negros) made guest appearances on the Six Million Dollar Man.

[trickhoseroff]

The grip was ALL important...

[xXKxTrainsXx]

my dad said this was an amazing part of his childhood he still has it

[smashstuff300]

I DONT HAVE 6 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!

[dwilmer7]

Go Steve!

[dougmad]

Voice over by The Real Don Steele... AWESOME!

[joeyvader]

"Careful Steve!! Grip it!!" Hilarious!! A classic action figure...the only beef I had with it as a kid was that Steve was an inch or so taller than GI joe's were...making him look 7 feet tall beside them...and looking through the eye made stuff smaller...wtf???

[bowmaaker]

@joeyvader lol you bitch too much!!use your imagination with your toy that some chineese guy made!

[HerrEllsworth]

I had the Steve Austin figure and I sold it years ago. It was much bigger than the GI Joe. I believe Richard Anderson did a commercial as well.  I would love to see that posted.

[joeyvader]

@HerrEllsworth I just posted the size dif...he looked huge beside GI Joes...

[Zamoomafoo]

"Get it steve, grip it, c'mon" REALLY.?

[sirgeous]

Used to break my puppet around December to get the new version for Christmas. From 1976 till 1979. I'm such a dork, bought one from a vintagestore. My kids don't like it particularly. Good for me, huh?

[joeyvader]

@sirgeous "Break my puppet"...??? I bought one on EBay years ago..today, kids only like video games..

[xplund]

I had the Bionic Bigfoot.

[factura5]

hey a BLACK KID!

[ToysNoiz]

pixar said zurg was based on this

[SunsetSupermanRMB]

Do not be fooled, this was just a G.I. Joe with Kung Foo grip action figure, with a Lee Majors face.

[ThreeDaysOfDan]

lmfao 6 million dollar man, hes had that much plastic surgery!

[enyawd1977]

I have this figure brand new in the box...it is awesome!

Original price was $7...it cost me $300, but you can't put a price on your childhood!

[vomit49894]

Wow! I do believe I had one of these!

[AJtheory]

Did Col. Steve Austin ever do a mission to Mars on the show?

[chairmanofthebored1]

Great toy. 

[reyguel]

i had this one . didn't he have his "rubber" skin and when you pulled it back his "bionic" decals showed?

[link000000]

kids should not play with that mans grip...

[glennorange]

Heh. Heh-heh. I'll just bet he has a bionic grip. Heh-heh.

[rockstarkid90]

[jeanrazac]

@rockstarkid90 hey!

[retuy1234]

[Kalaskossan]

[lcvd1]

I also got my Bionic Man back in '77. I was 6 years old in Panama city, Panama.

[SuperStarwarsfan101]

wow what if it was $60000? O_o

[jengacrock]

Doing the sound effects...".whawhawahwawhawhaw­ha", when he would lift heavy objects or look through his eye.

[HaligonianType1]

The seventies... When having an imagination was the name of the game.

[SatansMullet]

@HaligonianType1 it was easier to have an imagination back then.. all the weed and lsd you could ask for and you knew if you had a crush on a girl if you did have sex with her you would be ok the next day (no aids and whatnot...)

[landrykkb]

@SatansMullet It was a lot easier to have an imagination then when not even Ataris existed yet.let alone the internet.

[SpaceWars2025]

High-tech!

[hellbilly34a]

maybe it could be a masturbation aide.

[chiteach2]

Man, I remember getting one of those for Christmas 1977...and I had the Mission to Mars set (with the inflatable tent). I used to take it EVERYwhere.

[nightslash3535]

For the next 20 years, this toy will worth $ 6 billion.

[Rubiks4sale]

I have that!!!! I put the blue suit with orange shoes on him so he looks just like the one in The 40-Year-Old Virgin!

[Sensoriexpansion69]

Man, right on with this commercial! I had two of these as a kid in the 70's. Right on!

[agfagaevart]

Two??? You were rich! I had to make do with the one, I broke him arm off.

[dranwang]

You've got to belief tomorrow is going to be better than yesterday old chaps. That's why you should also belief in Heaven ;)

[MrBlackhaw]

I think we had the one before the grip. I remember looking through his eye and that some of the arms/legs were normal and others were mechanical.

[palenoise]

I'm getting old

[greyghostzx]

I remember, it was the Best!!!

[SonofThor73]

I had this! Wish I still did, those were great toys and a great show!

[Valelacerte]

I broke my friend's Six Million Dollar Man by making it lift something stupidly heavy.

[JoanCollins2009]

u dirty rotten bugger lol

[Valelacerte]

Well, you see, really I taught him a valuable lesson: even The Six Million Dollar Man is flawed and hence not worth idolising. I am sure that, through the tears and violent anger, really he was grateful.

[stripperella1sthubb]

Wasn't that in 40 Year Old Virgin?

[beaagent29p]

Yeah, I admit it. I had one of those when I was a kid..lol

[famouslocations]

Colt Seavers is the best!

[hilarioph]

I seen this Six Million Dollar Man toy when i am in school here in the Philippines

[Captmiloman]

Wouldnt mind  getting the astronaut suit for the Steve Austin figure I have.

[philsaspiezone]

I had one of those Steve Austin toys for my birthday in 1974

[diuga1]

Grear astronaut suit.
