Action Figures
The original Rocksteady action figure was released by Playmates Toys in 1988. This had the character armed with an automatic rifle (that was fitted with a telescopic sight on top of the receiver), which resembled the appearance of the US Army's M60 general purpose machine gun, as well as a bowie knife, manhole cover shield, and belt with turtle shells. The first Bebop figure that Playmates released in the same year was armed with a power drill, a double-bladed knife, and a trashcan lid for a shield.
Both of the original figures were reissued in the 1990s and again in 2009 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Other figure incarnations of Bebop and Rocksteady were produced for the Wacky Action, Night Ninjas, Mutant Military 2, and Mutatin' lines and in 13" scale.

Famous quotes containing the words action and/or figures:
“This nation asks for action, and action now.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
