They're army men-sized little dudes and some are just normal police and firefighters. But there were also one or two types that were basically screaming people. I remember some guy with his mouth wide open and his arms flailing in the air, and you just knew he was running from certain death. I'd love to see those figures again.John Scott Tyneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13995123168616511638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-54563515217227248472011-01-27T00:24:15.805-05:002011-01-27T00:24:15.805-05:00They must've let the audio dept at Hanna-Barbe...They must've let the audio dept at Hanna-Barbera edit this... sounds like Augie Dogie or Wally Gator's about to show up.<br /><br />Or the Super Friends...Alphacentauriannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-47583834268934619672011-01-26T10:29:27.501-05:002011-01-26T10:29:27.501-05:00Man, Power Records missed the chance at a major ti...Man, Power Records missed the chance at a major tie-in with this one...rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-59725113326955082242011-01-26T10:05:07.876-05:002011-01-26T10:05:07.876-05:00@Quilty, you can download it for yourself here:
