One of my favorite cartoon shows growing up. “Fighting crime in a future time” and "It's crime fightin' time!"

True story. In my early twenties I was busted for shoplifting one of the figures from this series. I've long ago learned the lesson that shoplifting is terrible but back in those days I guess I was on a kick. Anyway I still have a soft spot for this line

One way to tell apart which figures are wave two is that they are not part of the main cast of the cartoon. Then, at some point, Hasbro must've told the people over at Dic to include the wave two characters, so some of them do have minor appearances before the cartoon was taken off the air.

I still don’t get why (five unsolved mysteries about this show): (one of the cops, and one of the carded figures, in the Hasbro toy line) Automated Police Enforcement Systems (whose lone appearance was ‘The Case of the High Iron Hoods’) never speaks (two of the cops, and both drivers, hence boxed, with vehicles, in the Hasbro toy line) Roadblock and Heavyweight were omitted from the cartoon (hence the only two cops drivers, whose figures were boxed, with vehicles, who were in the cartoon, were Bullseye and Hardtop; the crooks only had *one* driver, whose figure was boxed, with a vehicle - Turbo Tu-Tone) (one of the crooks) Hasbro never made a figure of Squeeky Kleen, when he was *male* (it’s more understandable that - two cops - Mainframe and Mirage, and two crooks - Miss Demeanour and Nightshade - didn’t have figures, with Hasbro feeling skeptical about including female figures in boys’ toy lines, yet they included Scarlet, Cover Girl, the Baroness, Lady Jaye, Zarana and Jinx, in the G.I. Joe toy line; additionally, Mattel included Teela, in the He-Man and MOTU toy line, and LJN included Cheetara, in the ThunderCats toy line) [Cover Girl was a driver, hence boxed, with a vehicle, and I like how Hasbro did her with short red hair] (another of the cops, and carded figures, in the Hasbro toy line) the figure of Taser had a moustache, and was black / African-American, when, in ‘The Case of Big Boss’ Big Switch’, he’s clean shaven, and Caucasian (one of the crooks, and yet another carded figure, in the Hasbro toy line) Nightmare (the android) was left out of the cartoon With Hasbro never making the four females, and, for some reason, only *one* of the *males* - Squeeky Kleen, I’m aware how fans of this show, back in the day, felt, that they couldn’t have the entire team of the cops, and the entire team of the crooks.

Excellent design for 6" figures for the 80s technology. I never understood why toy company's refused to use the 3.75" gi Joe o-ring model for 6" figures during the 90s. Especially for wrestling figures.

Great video Mike! As a kid I had every cop & crook from series #1 except bullet proof! How do you make a toy line where the main hero is the hardest one to get?!? I literally got them for the first time ever after watching your last Cops video

Glad you enjoy these vids! Seems odd that the figure you would think most kids would want was short packed and now it the most expensive in the line

YESSS!!! That was my show (among so many others)!! "Fighting Crime in a Future Time!" Didn't know that Hasbro did the toys for it. I passed on them, because I wasn't as keen on them as I was the show. (The cap gun gimmick sucked!!) B.P. Vess was cool (see what they did there? Change that second S to a T, and you have Bullet Proof Vest...), but my dood was Longarm. In a sense, he was kinda like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat before Scorpion & Mortal Kombat were a thing. (I wonder if Hasbro got the idea for Generations Warpath's missile design from Longarm's nightstick???) That guy with the battering ram & riot shield looks like he could've been your stereotypical troop builder type. And Highway's lil' "vehicle" looks like a really bad KO of the Skysled from He-Man!! That said, he also looks like he could be a troop builder.
@tydiriumhanger13203 жыл бұрын
Yes a lot of the names for these guys were clever and borderline cheesy but that makes it fun! Highway and Longarm would make for great extra background characters although they did make nearly twice the good guys vs bad guys in this line

Are the cops figures and police academy figures the same size?
@tydiriumhanger1320 Жыл бұрын
Great question and would have been a good comparison. Cops figures are about the height of the ghostbusters figures so Police academy is smaller
@felixtyler910 Жыл бұрын
Barricade is a riot cop it's why has all the padding and Powder Keg is bomb disposal so his suit is something like they have on in the hurt locker and Sgt Mace you had his bazooka backwards it goes over is shoulder he was my first cops action figure I have everyone as a kid except the paddy wagon I did find it too but I opted to get something else that day i remember back in the day having to get the whole first wave over because they had got stolen it was a great line I did like the comic better than cartoon even though it was a short run only 12 issues I think
