I'd love to have all of the other dolls that go with the collection (Maskatron, Bigfoot, Fembot) but those are WAY too expensive. Bigfoot is very hard to find still in the box or even complete. He tends to run into the $100 to $300 range. Too pricey for me. I'm happy just to have Steve, Oscar and Jamie.

I goofed on the Mexico thing, that was the other SMDM thread - but since I brought it up: anybody looked at the Mexican "El Hombre Nuclear" DVD's? It seems from the running times that they have the original pilot films. |

Also, the episodes are all in proper NTSC, rather than converted from the PAL masters, so there is no time-compression issues.

The inflatable lab: I had that one as a kid, too, and was amazed when I was at University finding 3-4 of them still in their original packaging (at their original 1970s price) for sale in the "toy basement" of a Western Auto store, along with other older toys. Needless to say, I snapped them up! Even took one out of the box to display with my loose $6m Man collection. |
