C.o.p.s.
 
Any fans here of the DIC 1980s cartoon show C.O.P.S.? It aired weekdays in syndication and also had a later run on CBS Saturday mornings as CyberCOPS. I enjoyed the show a lot. I bought Volume 1 of the show a few years ago on DVD and recently pre-ordered Volume 2 from shoutfactory.com (where it is an exclusive at). My favorite characters were Mace and Buttons McBoomBoom. I enjoyed the storylines involving Mace and Nightshade the most.

Huge fan. The next DVD volume is coming out in March from Shout.

My favorite character is Bulletproof.

I loved C.O.P.S.!! It's one of those series I've been meaning to buy but just haven't gotten around to it. My favourite characters were Bulletproof and Nightshade.

I got C.O.P.S. Volume 2 in the mail today. I've been enjoying the episodes I've watched so far.

I loved C.O.P.S. when it was on. Mace was also my favorite. The toys were hardcore, too. I didn't know it was on DVD. Gotta get my funds together now.

C.O.P.S. Volume 1 had a general retail release in 2006 and can still be found on many websites for sale. Volume 2 is a Shout! Factory exclusive that was released on Tuesday that can be bought on their website (and also now on Amazon.com).

2006? Damn, I must really not have paid attention. Cursed life getting in the way of my cartoon childhood dreams...

I like COPS also, but never had merchandising... :tsad:

TheCanadiandrome 03-18-2010 05:36 PM

yeah it was a pretty good show

Ioz 03-24-2010 11:36 PM

Here are some pics of some unproduced series 3 toys which I hadn't seen before:

C.O.P.S. was awesome. On WGN, it was followed by Fun House, a game show.

Canadian game show announcer Ken Ryan was the voice of Baldwin P. Vess (Bulletproof).

"IT'S CRIME FIGHTIN TIME!"

I loved that cartoon. I thnk the reason why I'm into good guy/bad guy parings is because of that show. Nightshade was awsome.

Ioz 03-31-2010 07:50 PM

It looks like C.O.P.S. Volume 2 is now available on Ebay for the same price in addition to the Shoutfactory website and Amazon.

I watched some of the episodes with the Wave 2 toys last night.

Volume 2 was released March 16th of this year. Volume 1 was released back in 2006.

I bought a couple MOC figures on e-bay the other day. I'd like to eventually have at least all the Wave 1s MOC.

I loved this show. My fave characters were Mainframe and Nightshade. It's cool that it's on DVD now so everyone can see a good show.

I remember watching this as a kid, but I barely remember anything from it. The only thing I can vividly remember is being impressed with a helicopter going into Silent Mode in one scene.

There are a few episodes on youtube. If you are interested in checking out an episode or two, I'd recommend watching The Case of C.O.P.S. File # 1 (Parts 1 & 2) which tells the origins of the C.O.P.S. team.

Ioz 10-14-2010 07:28 PM

It looks like Shout! sold the DVD rights of C.O.P.S. to Mill Creek. Mill Creek plans to release the show completely in two volumes for about $10 each. The episodes that would have been on a third volume by Shout will be on Mill Creek's second volume.

Volume 1 has a Feb. 15th release date.

TheCanadiandrome 01-07-2011 10:11 PM

cool, i'll be lookin at getting this

Ioz 03-08-2011 10:52 PM

I got the Mill Creek set a couple of weeks ago. The only extra on it is a "Hey Vern, Its Ernest" episode. I see Volume 1 is only $6.99 on Amazon which is a pretty good deal for 3 DVDs.

What kind of an extra is that?

Anyway I think I kind of valued characters like Nightshade, since she didn't seem to show up so often.

Brodie 03-09-2011 08:56 PM

I want the Mill Creek set, but I'm apprehensive... Maybe if it drops to $5 like the Ultraman sets.

TheCanadiandrome 03-09-2011 10:53 PM

i'm going to look for this when i go for my holidays in the summer

It is just something they put on there to try to get you to buy the Ernest set that they have also released. For half the series (32 episodes) for less than $10, I wasn't expecting much. I do hope they have the C.O.P.S. for Kids PSAs on Volume 2, though.

I've only seen it at online retailers so far.
