Holy crap, I totally forgot about Galoob's Army Gear and that was in 88, 35 years ago this year :o I think I wanted them for a while then I discovered their Micro Machines and got so enticed by them I skipped Army Gear all together. Cool PB ;)

Yeah, like Kenner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, I regretted not wanting the Police Academy figures by Kenner :roll: I was kinda young and just had a one track mind. Later on I realized how cool it would have been to cross these over with Ghostbusters & Beetlejuice and even RoboCop & Batman. Nice PB ;)

Those are some great figures. I have all of those in the commercial plus others including the mail-away glow in the dark version.



I loved those figures. I think I still have some Caps left too and yes they smelled and really I liked that odor. I'm trying to crank out My 80s in My Vintage as fast as I can so I can finally get to the stuff I have from the 90s including RoboCop. Nice PB :)
