Bionic Woman is Very Popular … on E-Bay
Over 4,200 Bionic Woman items have been sold on E-bay so far this year, according to E-bay expert Jenny How. That’s a lot of bionic parts, many times more than the show’s Wednesday night rival Pushing Daisies and almost as many items as those sold related to NBC’s Heroes.
While most of these sales relate to the classic Bionic Woman series, there are a few modern Bionic Woman items for sale in the Internet marketplace. One is the t-shirt inspired by Sarah Corvus’ classic "Ta Da!" line from the series premiere, which Ryan created a few months ago and may still be for sale out there. Other modern Bionic Woman items on E-Bay right now include autographed pictures of the show’s stars, including pictures of Michelle Ryan, Katee Sackhoff, Miguel Ferrar, and Chris Bowers. There is even a line of golf gloves and athletic equipment inspired by the series, but it does not look like they have official rights to do merchandising tie ins and no Bionic Woman stars appear on the packaging.
The classic Bionic Woman items range from board games to action figures and everything in between. Lindsay Wagner and her cast mates rose to fame in the 1970s when merchandising was in its prime, and if you are nostalgic for those days then E-bay retailers are happy to sell you a lunch box just like the one Ryan has at his house, plus jigsaw puzzles, purses, comic books, and scripts from the original episodes. You can even buy 20 year old packets of Bionic Woman bubblegum.
