I love when they turn R rated into family friendly fun

[@3Storms]

They did that with Police Academy, Caddyshack, Scary Movie, Revenge of the Nerds, and what else?

[@fzcbh4698]

If they still do that so I would love to see them turn Poor Things 2023 into family friendly animated series xD

[@_The_Worst_]

When I was a child I randomly got that action figure where the pants fell down at a yard sale...💁🏻 I always remember thinking that it was a pretty neat feature...🤘🏼💯✔️

[@ChazBell]

When Police Academy came to theaters, I was at that perfect age of the young adolescents that thought everything in the movie was side splitting funny.

[@jdsrcs8061]

Dang!!!! Now this is a cartoon and toyline I had forgotten about!!!! 😂😂😂

[@fatal-vice8145]

I had the dog one. Got it on a random trip to Pennsylvania. It was the only PA toy I had. It's weird how we can remember the place when we got certain toys.

[@YodaPagoda]

I’m pretty sure I completely missed this show as a kid, but loved the movies! I can’t imagine they visited the Blue Oyster Bar in the cartoon? LOL

[@jeffstark8449]

I had the precinct playset, the motorcycle and a few of the figures. Tackleberry was always my favorite

[@darylarmentrout252]

I've had that Fat Boys song stuck in my head for decades now

[@jaywoodley6014]

I had so many of these as a kid. The role play toys were the best. I still have the bullhorn

[@tperson8347]

I remember watching the movies when I was a little kid, but never saw the cartoon. Love the figure line. That police station is not the firehouse from the Real Ghostbusters line, is it? The chopper backpack for the Skyscape Joker was from a cartoon figure line originally, but I forget what line. Kenner really get her mileage out of their accessories. :) Thanks for the video

[@fzcbh4698]

The show was huge popular in Italy, and even in the MiddleEast around early 2000s.

[@cornflakesbaby]

I vaguely remember the cartoon but I had no idea they had this many toys, I'm impressed at the amount and quality. Also @2:01 Wow 😲

[@tperson8347]

I have that same outfit. :)

[@jasonking3182]

Some of these toys we’re going to be redone as Real Ghostbusters toys that were also not released in the early 90s. In fact Police Academy is kind of a sister line with Ghostbusters.

[@chrisrose_krii_lun_aus]

I remember those in the GI Joe isle. They were odd back when there were some weird toys.

[@peterrenaud9639]

Next episode.... Porky's cartoon with action figures with the shower hole playset😂🤣😂🤣

[@vicrules6666]

I was surprised a lot of them did the voices.

[@greycloudyday5980]

I loved the first couple movies. Never knew about this. Really cool.

[@tombutler6451]

We didn’t have the cartoon in the U.K. and I’m pretty sure hardly any of the toys! Shame as both look well made 👍🏼

[@shanester1832]

By the 4th & 5th movie that series was pretty much a live action cartoon. It got ridiculous.

[@tperson8347]

You may've already known, but Pee-Wee Herman would sometimes be seen at parties with Elvira, Mr.T, Cyndi Lauper, and Fat Boys. Cyndi Lauper, Elvira, and Joan Rivers were close friends of Pee-Wee Herman's. :)

[@pauljoyner4338]

Pee Wee Herman actually started in Cheech & Chong movies. I think it is in Cheech & Chong's Next Movie that Pee Wee and Cheech are doing cocaine under the table. It's funny, but it sure ain't Pee Wee's Playhouse material.

[@tperson8347]

@@pauljoyner4338 Yeah, I love his character in those movies :)

[@ciscodeer9094]

They did this for Robocop, Terminator 2, Aliens, Predators, Starship Troopers, if i'm missing any let me know.

[@shanester1832]

Rambo!

[@ciscodeer9094]

@@shanester1832 Yep and they also did it for Conan.

[@tperson8347]

@@ciscodeer9094 Toxic Avenger, sorta I remember a line of figs based on the cartoon. When I was a kid, I had no knowledge of the movies, so I thought Toxic Avenger was a character from the TMNT universe. :) They were in the same aisle, so I figured it was a spinoff. :)

[@fzcbh4698]

Wait...did Terminator, Predator, Aliens and Starship Troopers got Animated series!?😐

[@RicStorm616]

The police precinct looked suspiciously like the Ghostbusters fire station 🤔

[@ThatJunkman]

I thought so also but when I put them side my said it didn’t as much. I was going to say it in the video until I saw them side by side

[@johnbest1978]

I love all the Police Academy movies except for 5 and 6. I never seen the cartoon b4 but I'm gonna check it out. I like those figures though I'm gonna grab some if I can find em.

[@fzcbh4698]

I think because they are missing Mahoony, Zed and Sweet Chuck.

[@thetxaggie6575]

I love these figures, currently have Jones and Hightower

[@scottychestnuts4714]

I grew up watching these movies. Back when movies were fun!

[@candacecherry6778]

Think I remember this. Cartoon

[@davidmoore1102]

The police station is definitely a remake of the ghostbusters firehouse

[@ThatJunkman]

nope, I thought so also when making the video but when I placed them side by side I could see it wasnt

[@211inprogress]

I want Jones and hi tower. Great upload as always Junkman. 👮🏿‍♂️📢

[@peterrenaud9639]

Well how do we enter today??

[@treyjohnson4035]

Looks like Kenner repurposed the gb firehouse

[@NintendoSuperstar93]

I never saw Police Academy, I might have to get on that. Also, the Fat Boys are pretty awesome and a bit underrated, hardly ever hear their music on the 80’s music channel anymore (the channels where they play nothing but straight music, no commercials, different from MTV, there’s no video, just the title and artist, think it’s called Music Choice). At least the PA figures are pretty unique though, can’t say that with figures today, especially with MOTU Origins where some figures had action features removed.

[@shanester1832]

Ah dude, you gotta watch Police Academy. It's classic wrong & raunchy 80's comedy. Idk about this cartoon though. Hopefully you are well versed in the Disorderlies, the Fat Boys movie. I bet that doesn't hold up, used to play all the time but like their music. It just vanished with barely a trace for how big they were.

[@necron99.aka-sammyboy92]

Fst boys, and their movie: Disorderlies rocked!

[@BoshiYoshi]

Definitely doesn't look like my kind of cartoon but the toys look fun. That's a good looking police station playset.

[@fatal-vice8145]

Thought the same thing,I love getting playsets like that to use in displays. I didn't know about the station playset.

[@owllymannstein7113]

I remember seeing these at a discount toy store in the early 90's, I was not particularly interested.

[@fzcbh4698]

Well I think that most of kids in early 90s are looking and wanting for SNES or Sega Megadrive that time.

[@captainrex4403]

Junkman 👊😁

[@harrybehemoth2751]

Wasn't there also a live action Police Academy show in the late 90's?

[@ThatJunkman]

Yes

[@happyhotdogmusic7038]

I just uploaded my old vhs of the cartoon here on KZbin if anyone is interested in watching it

[@bursegsardaukar]

I think they reused Tackleberry’s fistzooka for another Joker figure.

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

I remember seeing these action figures in stores and never being impressed nor wanting them.

[@nickmcclafferty2069]

It was alright but for me robocop is a lot better

[@the_weed_in_your_garden9319]

I get the same vibe from this as the Real Ghostbusters cartoon. Kinda lame based on the movie but different

[@3Storms]

The cartoon was absolutely terrible. I saw five minutes of it, and never watched it again

[@michaeldumas9203]
