Never let it be said that I was someone to rain on anyone elses parade. That being said there are some people out there that should be running to get their umbrellas right now. Even in a desert it rains from time to time.
I was bumping around eBay this afternoon as I tend to do once in a while, looking at a bit of this and and a bit of that. Anyway during my travels I came across some interesting 6 Million Dollar Man items. To clarify though, I use the word interesting in the patronizing/derogatory way.
At first everything was looking great.
A custom 1/6th scale Steve Austin head for a 12″ figure. The detail on this piece is amazing and at just $25 it is a steal.
But just when everything was looking great things began to slip a little. Only a little, but perhaps I should have been smart enough to bail when I had the chance.
Here we have our guy (to be precise though this time it is Maskatron but that doesn’t make a jot of difference right now) in a hoodie of all things. One of the toys that just screams 1970s is dragged kicking and screaming into the 1990s. For the super observant out there you will have seen that this is a Mexican custom. How do I know? Well take a look at the logo on his shirt… it says El Hombre Nuclear. Don’t get me wrong, it looks well made but c’mon… it’s a hoodie for goodness sake. Anyway, the bidding is already at $15 so if you want this you better get a move on, or not!
I am going to just end this post with somethings that just defy description. In fact I am just going to leave it you to give it a shot in the comments section.
First off let me set the stage. Here is Oscar Goldman in his I’m in charge of things here 1970s power suit.
Pretty basic attire but it gets the job done.
However someone had other ideas and thought they could do better. Here are some custom fashions for poor old Mr. Goldman…
Ummm… WTF!
And last of all…
Bidding starts at just 15 cents… go ahead… I dare you! Click here to see for yourself.

Poor Oscar. He deserves better. The Six Million Dollar Man is cool even if he is El Hombre Nuclear.
Hell, he might even be MORE cool if he was called El Hombre Nuclear!
