I am entering a guessing competition. Using the following clues, I
need to guess what the 'secret item' is. I need to enter within 12
hours. If you guess the correct answer and I win the competition, I
will pay you $200. 

Please note: I will only pay $200 if I win the competition. Before you
take time answering the question, please decide whether it is worth
your while. I don't want to waste your time. If you put in a great
effort but we don't win, I will pay $10 as goodwill. I'm not sure if
this is allowed under Google Answers policy, but I couldn't find any
reference to it.

Here are the clues:

Functional but Fun!
Bigger than a Tennis Ball, but Smaller than a Watermelon
Preferred by Boys, but Girls can use it too...
You could take me anywhere!
You won't find me new in a shop, but you might find me at a Garage
Sale...
My design was popular in the 70's, but is still endearing now!
I'm just as useful inside as out...
It's got something to do with money, but it's not currency...
You can put stuff in me...
Lisa Lopez
You'd call me a collector's item, but I'm good at collecting dust!
You may have used me when you were young, but you're unlikely to have
one now!
Farrah Fawcett was a famous one!
I'd be handy at the Rugby, but you wouldn't show me off!
The Colonel
I have a partner!
I travel as a whole, but you can pull me apart...
You wouldn't want to make me angry!
I was incredible for my time!
I'm nuclear powered - Good thing Homer wasn't involved
I was originally found on a film set!
I'm a superseded model...

I am so sorry - I just discovered the closing date for the competition
was sooner than I thought - and it has already closed - 2 hours ago! I
hope I have not wasted your time.  My deepest apologies.

Greetings Winaboat:

As my colleague Omniscientbeing has suggested, you may want to close
this question so that another Researcher does not answer it in error.

Best regards,

Out of curiosity, what's the answer?

The answer is (I believe) a Six Million Dollar Man action figure.

best photo I could find)
But surely they mean Lindsey Wagner rather than Farrah Fawcett?

What does that have to do with rugby and lisa lopez?
