Alien,
The Real Ghostbusters,
Batman,
Jurassic Park, and so many others. Kenner's other core brands are also included along with the people who made them all possible. The early chapters touch on Kenner's early successes and more into the hiring of Bernie Loomis, the man who introduced
The Six Million Dollar Man, Kenner's first successful male action brand. Soon thereafter came
Stretch Armstrong and the blockbuster
