Eugene Tackleberry with Armed Flak Vest, Police Academy Vintage Toys by Kenner 1989
Vintage Eugene Tackleberry with Armed Flak Vest – Police Academy by Kenner (1989)
Mint on Card · Classic Cartoon Adaptation · Vintage Kenner Favorite
Locked, loaded, and comically overarmed—Eugene Tackleberry blasts into your collection straight from the Police Academy animated series! This Mint-On-Card 1989 original by Kenner perfectly captures the over-the-top, weapons-obsessed fan-favorite from both the movies and the cartoon adaptation.
Tackleberry’s figure is true to his screen persona—complete with a flak vest rig and enough firepower to arm a small platoon. This action figure features his classic exaggerated scowl and a humorous action gimmick that lets his arms raise and aim oversized weapons included in the set. Known for treating every minor infraction like a military operation, Tackleberry’s brand of excessive force always brought the laughs.
Trivia Bite:
Tackleberry, portrayed by the late David Graf in all seven Police Academy films, became such a fan-favorite that his catchphrase “Permission to use deadly force?” was carried over into the cartoon. In fact, Graf lent his voice to the animated version—making him one of the few original cast members to voice their character in the show, adding a rare level of continuity between the movie and cartoon universes.
