    I saw him at DragonCon this year, along with Lindsay. He still looks like Steve Austin, only 50 years older.

    Great video. I had Steve, Oscar and Maskatron action figures as a kid. Actually Oscar's suitcase contains a double bottom, one neat with cardboard files and a radar button, the other wrecked if you open the suitcase the wrong way. Brilliant toy!

      I had Steve 2nd version w/ the orange steel beam vs. the OG one with the roll down rubber arm and engine block. I was always sorta bummed I didn't get that one. I did have the critical assignment legs. I also had Maskatron.

    Woo! More Steve and Jaime! A wonderful show with great secondary characters. I loved Steve's parents, Oscar Goldman, Dr Rudy Wells, Peggy Callahan not to mention Max the bionic dog and later in a tv movie a bionic Sandra Bullock.

      @@bigneiltoo that sucks, I was born in 1972 so I know I didn't get to see the early seasons until syndication but I watched with my dad I assume the final 2 seasons as they aired? My grandmother ordered the figure for me via catalog and I got it for my 4th Birthday for it was my favorite show. I liked The Bionic Woman as well but not as much! Wonder Woman was up there with SMDM! Back then it was KISS, The SMDM, Charlie's Angels and Wonder Woman! In the '80s it was The Incredible Hulk and The Dukes of Hazzard and of course The Fall Guy!!!
