TJ Hooker Toys by Fleetwood Toys - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I happened to find sets of TJ Hooker toys that were made by Fleetwood Toys and are circa 1982. The TJ Hooker toys I found are a dress up set and a set with a pretend replica of TJ Hooker's police badge and a set of three diecast replicas of TJ Hooker's police motorcycles. These TJ Hooker toys are the most rare of all TV merchandise. How much would these toys be worth today?

I'm absolutely positive that any and all "T.J. Hooker"-related merchandise--what very little of it was actually manufactured, let alone sold at discount store chains such as Kmart, Zayre, and Woolworth's--is extremely rare and quite pricey on the secondary market, as well as on eBay...unlike Shatner's other iconic television program (the title of which shall, of course, remain anonymous), "T.J. Hooker" was not a merchandising cash cow.

I've also seen photos of nearly all of the "Hooker"-related merchandise online in the past that was produced by the now-defunct Fleetwood Toys, which mainly consisted of inexpensive "badge-and-gun" and/or "badge-and-handcuffs" sets, as well as a miniature version of Hooker and Romano's LCPD police cruiser. To save costs, Fleetwood simply cobbled together and refurbished the "Hooker" merchandise, including their ubiquitous "badge-and-gun" and "badge-and-handcuffs" sets, from their discontinued "CHiPs" line (based on the hit TV series, obviously).

Enjoy your evening, LaBestia!
