I've joked about the Bionic Video Center in the past but there is no way as a kid that I wouldn't have wanted this. Steve is reliving his glory days, he needs a six pack.
The only thing that could make this cooler is a vintage Super 8 film cassette titled "Steve Austin In The Bionic Video Center".
Then you'd have a TV show character becoming a toy who watches an episode of himself as a toy watching an episode of his TV show character.
From the look of the cassette, I think it might be compatible with the some of the other 70's crank-wound players which opens ALL kinds of possibiliites. Steve Austin settles down and watches "Star Wars"!
Don't laugh, the "Star Wars" cassette had most of the highlights from the film!
The cassette looks like it probably would have worked with my "Action Viewer", which was a hand-cranked box with a handle and an eyepiece that sort of looked like a movie camera. I had Disney's "Three Little Pigs" and "Swiss Family Robinson" cassettes with mine.
Due to recent events, I'm limiting comments to google account holders only. Sorry if you're a decent person affected by this but the spam has gotten weird.
So I'm guessing Plaid Stallions is suffering from the same disease as i-Mockery: Neglecting the main site in favor of simple blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool - the kid-me would have loved this (don't know if it ever made it over to the UK)
