Hardee's Fun Meal Pack HB - Productions - Flintstones 30th Anniversary (1991) - Pt 1

Welll, time to get away from all the Flintstones paper stuff like press books and model sheets, and continue our look at the toys. I had a set of these Hardee's 30th Anniversary loose figures for some years but until recently never had a the original packaging. I have no idea why I didn't buy these in their bags originally but fortunately a full set in unopened bags was available recently at a reasonable price so I bit the bullet and purchased it. Hardee's offered five individually packaged figures, each with a separate Flintstones gadget:

-Fred with TV

-Pebbles with phone

-Dino with jukebox

-Barney with BBQ grill

-Bamm-Bamm with pinball machine

Wilma and Betty were not offered.

The paper insert is the same in all five packages.

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 103 80mm Ringhands Continued - Pose 1 Olive Green with Bronze Accessories

What I really liked about this last job lot was that it included one each of all four poses. While they all had bronze helmets, the web belts and weapons were a mix of olive green and bronze.

This guy is holding a grenade in his left hand which can be seen more clearly in one of the other photos - it was how he arrived in the package and it looked good enough to keep as is.

When you enlarge the photo, the grenade is more apparent.

Hanna-Barbera Productions "The Flintstones" Model Sheets - Pt 12 (Final) Bamm-Bamm

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.

Payton Products, Inc. Little Green Army Men - Pt 102 80mm Ringhands Continued - New Color!

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).

Hanna-Barbera Productions "The Flintstones" Model Sheets - Pt 11 Pebbles

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.
