Merchandise

A series of 3¾" action figures was released by Mego in the late 1970s. Due to the materials used to construct the figures, many of them have discolored (typically turning green) or started to decompose over the years, making good conditioned examples quite hard to find on the collectors market. There was also a series of six diecast model vehicles produced by Imperial Toys.

In the UK, as was common with many popular US series of the era, a series of tie-in annuals were produced by World International Publishing Ltd, containing stories, photos, puzzles and features on the stars. There are four annuals in total, one each for 1980–83.

In 2006, a limited edition soundtrack was released on CD by Turner Classic Movies' music division via Film Score Monthly, featuring the original recordings of the main theme by John Parker and in-episode musical scores from many episodes of the second season, as composed and conducted by Alan Silvestri (Silvestri also arranged the theme as heard from season two onwards, and it's this version that's heard here – the soundtrack album also includes the "Trick or Treat" score composed and conducted by Bruce Broughton, his only work for the series). In 2008, music from the third season was released; an album of music from the fourth season followed in 2010.
