What I really liked abut this series from Hardee's was what is referred to as 'gadgets' and each figure comes with its very own Stone Age gadget: a TV, telephone, grill, jukebox, and pinball machine. Fred here has a TV and is holding a remote! While the TV was certainly seen in many episodes in the original cartoon, no one had a remote to turn it on. By 1991 when these figures were offered by Hardee's, Fred is more than happy to use his new electronic gadget using a remote.

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.

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.
