===Collectible items=== During the TV show's run, [[Hasbro]] Industries produced an extensive range of ''Charlie's Angels'' merchandise, which was distributed in the US, the UK, and other international markets.<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZA3DCwAAQBAJ&q=hasbro+charlie%27s+angels&pg=PA37 | title=TV Toys| isbn=9780747813385| last1=McGoldrick| first1=Anthony A| date=2013-03-10| publisher=Bloomsbury}}</ref> A numerous variety of collectible items were produced, including two versions of dolls, board games, numerous posters, several sets of trading cards, notebooks, a lunchbox and thermos set, a ''Charlie's Angels'' toy van, children's beauty products and even record albums. Author Sherrie A. Inness, in the text 'Disco Divas: Women and Popular Culture in the 1970s' writes that "Charlie's Angels merchandise was big business, [[Hasbro]] Industries spent over $2.5 million to advertise its Charlie's Angels dolls".<ref>{{Cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oNaXkUvTztUC&q=charlie%27s+angels+merchandise+1970s&pg=PA213 | title=Disco Divas: Women and Popular Culture in the 1970s |isbn=978-0812218411 |last1=Inness| first1=Sherrie A| date=2003-01-13| publisher=University of Pennsylvania Press }}</ref> In the UK, as was common with many popular US programs of the era, a series of tie-in hardcover annuals were published by World International Publishing Ltd, containing stories, comics, photos, puzzles and features on the stars.

This poster also helped the burgeoning popularity of the series. The red swimsuit that helped make Farrah Fawcett a 1970s icon became part of the Smithsonian's collection in 2011.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/feb/2/farrah-fawcetts-red-swimsuit-going-smithsonian/|title=Farrah Fawcett's red swimsuit goes to Smithsonian |publisher=The Washington Times|website=www.washingtontimes.com}}</ref> The picture has been immortalized as a Black Label Barbie Collection doll and the legendary red bathing suit has been donated to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. The designer of that swimsuit is Norma Kamali.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://people.com/style/farrah-fawcett-iconic-red-swimsuit-designer-norma-kamali/|title=Norma Kamali Wasn't a Fan of Farrah Fawcett's Iconic Red Swimsuit - and She Designed It!|newspaper=People}}</ref> ====Comics==== Two British [[comic strip]] versions were produced. The first appeared in the [[Polystyle Publications|Polystyle publication]] ''Target'' in April 1978, drawn by John Canning. ''Target'' was a sister title to the long-running ''[[TV Comic]]'' aimed at older children and featuring TV action and crime shows of the day. Proving unpopular, it folded in August and merged back into ''TV Comic'' where Canning's Angels strip continued until October 1979. The second strip was printed in Junior TV Times ''[[Look-in]]'', debuting in November 1979 (as soon as Polystyle's deal expired), written by [[Angus Allan]] and drawn by [[Jim Baikie]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lambiek.net/artists/b/baikie_jim.htm|title=Jim Baikie|website=lambiek.net}}</ref> and Bill Titcombe. In June 2018, a six-issue limited comic book series based on the television series was launched by [[Dynamite Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comicsbeat.com/charlies-angels-comes-to-comics-in-june-with-john-layman-and-joe-eisma-embracing-the-70s/|title=Charlie's Angels Comes To Comics in June with John Layman and Joe Eisma Embracing the '70s|publisher=Comicsbeat.com |date=2018-03-20 |access-date=2018-03-20}}</ref> A crossover comic book series with ''Charlie's Angels'' and ''[[The Bionic Woman]]'', titled ''Charlie's Angels vs. the Bionic Woman'' was released on July 3, 2019.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/charlies-angels-bionic-woman-team-comic-book-series-1202570|title='Charlie's Angels/Bionic Woman' Team for Comic Book Series |magazine=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|first=Graeme|last=McMillan|date=April 17, 2019|access-date=June 2, 2019}}</ref>
