Lastest, but not leastest in our look at H-B's model sheets from 1978is Bamm-Bamm Rubble. Bamm-Bamm is the adopted son of Betty and Barney Rubble and first appeared in the 1963 episode "Little Bamm-Bamm" where he was left on the Rubbles doorstep by character's unknown.

I had stated in a previous post that I only knew of four colors for the Payton 80mm figures: olive green, metallic blue, light blue, and white. Of those, I'm missing white figures (although I do have white accessories). However, we can now add a fifth color: bronze. You can't rely too much on collector's books to provide this information and unless you find another blog or website in which the owner has a large collection you may never find it.
I had bought this job lot of four figures and noticed the color of the accessories didn't match the figures - they were bronze while the figures were olive green, and then...
...I noticed another job lot that included a bronze figure! That one is on the way.
When I get that job lot in I'll post a photo of all the colors I currently have sans the white figure (I'm thinking those white figures are going to be tough to find though).

Pebbles was 'born' in 1963 to Fred and Wilma Flintstone, and according to Flintstones Fandom, was originally slated to be a boy. Then apparently Ideal Toy Co. approached Hanna-Barbera and asked them to change it to a girl so that they could make a girl's doll from the character. Remember, this was still a few year's away from Hasbro's introduction of G.I. Joe and the action figure (aka doll) craze for boys. While Hanna-Barbera agreed to the change, they did eventually follow-up with a boy character - Bamm-Bamm Rubble. It's funny how in 2026, I still occasionally pick up a box of Post Cereal Fruity Pebbles or Cocoa Pebbles as we cycle around the various breakfast cereals we enjoy. And of course, there are still Pebble children's vitamins being sold.

This single model sheet finally presents both the Flintstone family and the Rubble family all together.

You discover a lot of cool little gems when digging into Flintstones lore, like finding out that Fred's crane at the quarry was named Mildred. Along with the Pterodactyl airplanes, Mildred is one of the larger 'gadgets' in the series.
