With all the nonsensical toys running about like Hulk Utility belts, it's nice to see logical roll play items like this Emergency set. Although I doubt the guys from Rampart wore pictures of themselves on their helmets. That's a weird thing that would always bother me as a kid.....
Loved that show, my friend and I would pretend to be Johnny and Roy all the time.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have this set, but I did have the S.W.A.T. bullhorn, which didn't have the gang's picture on it, but instead had a big sticker that said "S.W.A.T. - As filmed at 20th Century Fox Studios".
I remember the S.W.A.T. bullhorn, I think it was made from the same mold as this one. There was also a S.W.A.T. clicker rifle to go with it.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news was, it was actually just a megaphone, not a battery operated "real" bullhorn. Probably good news for parents, though. :)
loved emergency, there was a crossover with adam 12 wasn't there? the detour interview was great, thanks for the heads up on the aquaman shrine, bookmarked!!!!

somewhere i have pictures of myself and my sister wearing that helmet
ReplyDeleteLOL, for less than 4 bucks you got all that? I just bought the helmet on Ebay for my husband...his mom wouldn't let him have one as a kid. Now I suspect it wasnt the helmet, but the bullhorn she had an issue with.
ReplyDeleteI remember having a set like this but it included an air tank that you wore on your back, and a face mask connected by a hose.
ReplyDeleteRampart was the hospital. The firemen and paramedics were Station 51. It would be pretty weird if the doctors were wearing fire helmets!
