C.O.P.S. 'n Crooks

Neon-80's Miami Vice makes for sharp toys.

I’m at least in for Bulletproof. He can hang with the likes of Optimus Prime, Crystar, and other random 80’s heroes that I don’t have full collections for. And probably would get Big Boss for the same reason.

Checkpoint would be tempting though, just for his connection to Beachhead.

I want Mainframe. Or the robot dog.

I bought the complete series on DVD on a Prime Day deal. I think my PS 5 is the last remaining DVD player I own.

LOL.. I still have two Blu Ray/DVD players, plus a PS5 and two portable DVD players for the car or vacation. But I also still have multiple CD players in my house, a portable CD boom box and a CD player in my car. I like to own physical media so no company can charge me additional fees or take albums or movies off line.

I’ve still got a DVD/VHS combo that I can break out at a moments notice!

Damn, Bullit really committed to the bit.

Shoot me!!

All the talk about these, and I realized I never pre ordered Bulletproof. So, I hopped on BBTS and got him. I hope BBTS can get a few of these guys out. I'd love it if they could at least finish Series 1 of both Cops and Crooks. I think that's 12 figures. But even if it's just Bullet Proof and the main villain and a couple others that would be nice.

So it would appear that nothing new revealed at SDCC. Given they revealed multiples for other lines that makes me a bit sad. But given that Vess isn't due for ober a year I guess I should be patient.

Yeah.. I think they are taking their time to make sure no one sues them. But everything else they showed off is gorgeous.

Yeah, I was hopeful we'd see something like a piece of art for the next character they HOPE to do. But Bulletproof doesn't even come out until next year. So, I totally get it. And I hope all the rights stuff is ok and works out. I'd really like BigBad to have a good crack at this line and property.

I had a feeling a COPS thread existed somewhere. I'm going to take this in a vintage direction.

I never had COPS figures as a kid but I found these guys this weekend for $10 a pop and I think I found my next vintage figure line project. I'm digging the "big GI Joe" style with their o-ring construction. Each of these guys came with their full cardbacks and their file cards are very GI Joe inspired with info on the character and a quotation about their personality. My gripe is that their hands don't hold there weapons extremely well.

Looking at the wave one lineup, I like how there's a figure for the different varieties of law enforcement: A beat cop, detective, highway patrolman, riot gear guy, sherif, K9 office, that's neat.

Buttons McBoomboom (I love that name) is complete as is Sundown, Rock Crusher is missing a hose and Long Arm is missing his night stick. I think I made out really well for the price.

If anyone happens to have a night stick for Long Arm or a hose for Rock Crusher, I'm interested.

Nice! I want to say Hama wrote the file cards. I didn't know they were o-rings.

You know, I wouldn't be surprised. Like I say, the format is the same and I got a huge Hama hit from reading just these four guys' cards.

Bart Sears designed the characters/figures too.
