One of my favorite 70s shows that I watched in re-runs as it was off the air barely before I was born was the Six Million Dollar Man. I always wanted a toy of Steve Austin, but by the 80s the figure was long out of production and eBay wasn't a thing yet so finding older toys wasn't an easy task. I never had the 70s figure, but I finally have him in modern 4 inch scale (which is the best scale anyway...right). I also have him pictured with the cartoon the show inspired Bionic Six.

Looks Good! I had one as a kid.
The Bionic Six look like they could be the future version of O.S.I. The creepy thought that popped into my head when I saw this was that the Ape/Monkey character was probably the first one that they experimented on with the bionics before they started putting them into humans? |

I knew you were gonna take the great start that we got from Fresh Monkey and give us a completely accurate Six Million Dollar Man! You did an awesome job zipping up the jacket to give him his more iconic look and then that head is PERFECT for the character! Looks just like him, especially with your paint job.
Then I love the Steve Austin & Bionic 6 crossover! Haha, now my simple head swap Steve Austin custom is going to look nowhere near as impressive!

Very cool.
Who knew this dude would shave his head and go on to become one of the greatest champions in the history of the WWE?

That's excellent bro. Colors, & really like the head choice. What's also great is the esthetic really matches your Bionic 6 cast so it looks super cohesive!
Gotta do my favorite now Jamie Sommers! Who I recently got the Reaction figure of... Then you will complete the trifecta! |

That is a creepy take, but would be a fun one to see in a darker style comic. Quote:
