One of my first metal lunch boxes was Six Million Dollar Man. I also had Scooby-Doo and Emergency! (I was a weird girl; still am lol)

I am only old enough to have plastic lunch boxes. My first one was The Six Million Dollar Man.
I frankly cannot recall what other licensed ones I had. Quite a few years I brown bagged it.

Mark Wahlberg is set to star as Steve Austin in the 2026 re-make: “The Six Billion Dollar Man”

Are they going to have a Marky-Mark action figure?

I was alllll about the Bionic Woman when I was a little girl!
tangcameo@reddit
My cousin looked enough like her that I liked to think my cousin was bionic too.

if I had a daughter, her name would have been Jaime.

Whenever someone mentions, or shows merchandise from that show, I can hear that sound....

Oscar Goldman with the exploding briefcase doll how you doing? It's

CHHH-ch-ch-ch-ch…
Nervous-Rooster7760@reddit
I mean how many of us made that sound the playground ! Had the doll and remember one arm let you roll up skin to see parts.
Fish-Weekly@reddit
While moving or running in slow motion!
MaximumJones@reddit
I had the action figure and the spaceship that turned into an operating table. Good times.
Pippi-ki-yay@reddit
I had this too! I don't remember the spaceship but definitely remember the action figure. He was also Barbie's boyfriend and drove her Corvette sometimes.
Flababulous@reddit
Same here. Scored that Xmas, and the it was a big step up from the Fisher Price little kid stuff.
Used to have Evel Knievel try and jump the spaceship while Col. Austin was away.
RootHogOrDieTrying@reddit
Hell yeah. I had the blow up dome mission control.

In retrospect the thing love most about this show is that the stats they give for his bionic limbs in the intro match up to the feats we see Him do in the show. Someone whose implants/limb replacements were producing those power levels (4920 Watt Continuous Duty for his legs, 1550 Watt Continuous Duty for his arm, 20.2 to 1 Optical Zoom for his eye) could absolutely run as fast as a car, jump up several stories, force open a reinforced and locked steel door, to name but a few.
Better. Stronger. Faster.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology.
reachers_toothbrush@reddit
We have the capability to make the worlds first bionic man.

$6 million would be his copay today.
Tralfaz1138@reddit
Yeah, I had the Steve Austin and Maskatron figures also. I'm not really sure what happened to all of that stuff after my parents moved. Definitely a fan back of the show(s) back in the day.
uber4202u@reddit
I had Steve and Oscar. I used to buy Bionic woman and Charlie's Angels Accessory kits and use them with my GI Joe's/ Steve Austin.
RootHogOrDieTrying@reddit
Oscar's exploding briefcase!
Anon_Gen_X@reddit
Lee Majors with one of my favorite actors to watch when I was a kid. The Six Million Dollar Man and the Fall Guy.. both some of my favorites
RootHogOrDieTrying@reddit
Fall Guy was a fun show. Did Hardcastle and McCormick come on before or after?
I-use-to-be-cool@reddit
The episode where that little kid asked him to throw him the football and he heaves it over the mountain range brings back the PTSD of my older brothers telling me to "Go long" and I'd run halfway down the street only for them to either go inside or just not throw it!!

Probably at least a seven million dollar man today
epicgrilledchees@reddit (OP)
$6 million in 1975 possesses a purchasing power of about (\$37.14) million today, representing a cumulative inflation increase of roughly 519% over the decades.
