Bionic Sexism... by Kenner

So Steve Austin gets Mission Control Center...And Jamie Summers gets a Bionic Beauty Salon?!
They obviously just cannibalized The Prisoner's Electroshock Therapy Playset for that one...

My brother had Steve Austin, I had a bad-guy figure and the girl across the street had the Bionic Woman figure and she was most certainly was the type who would have gone for the bionic beauty salon. I recall she had a life-sized doll head with makeup.

I'm all for brushing and combing her beautiful hair, but pumping her fully of electrical beauty while she's strapped to a chair? I guess I'll never understand girls.

I'm fascinated by this - the merging of GI Joe and Barbie into one intellectual property unit. By day, it's Bionic Man and Bionic Woman punching Maskotron in the face - by night, it's Jamie and her boyfriend Steve dressing in disco-era outfits in an inflatable conservatory. It's a shame the idea of merging demographics like that - 'girl toys' that are 'boy toys' who do 'boy toys' like they're 'girl toys' - never took off.
