1978 saw the end of Kenner's wildly popular Six Million Dollar man line. Despite dwindling sales, Kenner revamped Steve with "Bio Sonic" power and gave him a new villain to fight in the form of the Venus Space Probe.
So while Steve Austin might have been on his way out, he certainly went with a bang or at least a very loud "dun-nuh-nuh-nuh".

Oh, so THAT'S what "B.M.V." stands for. (Har-har.) But seriously... I really want that thing.
Why did it have to end? Why, I ask you???
Hi, this is TR. I remember seeing the [six million dollar man, Venus space probe toy]in my teen years. I think it was in Ohio, or Connecticut in the 1980s. More likely Ohio.
think I saw it for sale on a shelf in an indoor store for swimming pools + pool items. Or maybe the toy was in a garden shop or a department store type place.
For all of you toy collectors, keep your eyes out for it, even in non-toy stores. You might find that Venus toy somewhere.
