C.O.P.S. 'n Crooks (1988)
C.O.P.S. 'n Crooks was Hasbro's 1988 line of six-inch figures about a future police force fighting Big Boss's gang in Empire City, and every figure came with a cap-firing weapon. The C.O.P.S. and the Crooks came with their own vehicles, and the bigger vehicle and driver sets hid an exclusive driver inside. The line also got a cartoon, C.O.P.S., in 1988. For another Hasbro line from the same year, see the Visionaries.
