Indianapolis, 1977. My youngest Brother Jim had a $6 Million Dollar Christmas. Here he has Steve Austin, the 6 Million Dollar Man, stored in the Bionic Transport and Repair Station.
I expected to embarrass him with this image at our family gathering this summer but instead I found Steve Austin and and his repair station in my niece's playroom! Jim had gotten these toys out of storage just months ago.
35mm B&W taken with my Yashica SLR and processed at home. View full size.
My son still has my old $6 Million Man figure in a toychest at the foot of his bed.
I loved that thing almost as much as my old Evil Knievel Motorcycle set. Steve Austin often was able to outrun Evil back in the day!
And you can be sure that Slinky is a metal coil, not plastic!
With five children in the house we learned that Santa needed a system to deliver the correct gifts to each child. On the love seat and the table in the background are Thank You placeholder notes to Santa indicating where a specific child's gifts were to be placed.
