Back in my day, er 1974, the original Robocop was Steve Austin, the Six Million Dollar Man, which was one of my favorite action figures growing up. Though this one was more like a doll. It had a magnifying glass in his eye that you look through from a hole in the back of his head. It had robotic parts in his limbs. And the best part, it came with an earpiece and a wire clip that you attach to the metal part on your rotary phone. When connected, you had a real working transistor radio! Wow! Little known fact, Richard Donner is credited as one of the directors in the series and he went on to direct such faves as The Goonies and Lethal Weapon. And Lee Majors? Well, he went on to his next series...the FALLLLL guyyyyy.
