Did anyone have 'Fall Guy' toys?

I'd almost forgotten that ERTL made a heavy duty "Fall Guy" truck.

It was great. It was actually made from metal so it could really take the abuse.

I did a little more searching and I came across a model kit of Colt's truck as well as a small diecast version.

For me the truck was nearly the star of the show, second only to Heather Thomas .

Does anyone remember any other toys or merchandising?

I do remember seeing the truck sold at KMart when I was growing up during the 80's but I never asked for one because I do not know why I did not it was totally cool! I had a Dukes Of Hazzard car, one of those things that goes on your wrist and you can launch it across the floor of the General Lee. Then I was also a Knight Rider fan as well which was also made by Glen Larson.

I am surprised that I did not see any other actors from The Fall Guy make an appearance on Knight Rider. I did see Joann Pflug on Knight Rider. That would have been cool to see David Hassellhoff appear on The Fall Guy!

I remember a "Fall Guy" airplane. A friend had it.

Had the Six Million Dollar Man action figure and the Oscar. I hear the Oscar is worth quite a bit now because no one had them.

I also have a Fall Guy annual somehwere that has also survived three flits since my childhood.

Been sort of perusing eBay off and on for Fall Guy stuff of late, and the large scale ERTL truck commands some solid cash. Not many on there at any given time (3-4 tops) and given the nature of the toy they're usually pretty beat up. There's one on there still in the box with a BIN of over $300.

The smaller scale truck Mr_Garek mentioned (1/64 scale I believe) is pretty reasonable. You can get one of those still on the card for $30.00 or so.

The lunchbox commands prices similar to its contemporaries and there are usually a fair number on there.
