May 2002 - Never has there been a more fitting time to show support for firefighters. Recently, high profile rescues have cast these quietly reserved heroes into the white-hot spotlight. But for all of the newly found attention, there is a tacit understanding among them that only another who wears the same rubber boots can understand - even if that counterpart is a "brother" from far away.

bbi introduces the Firefighter of Paris who stands shoulder to shoulder with the American Firefighter already in the collection. As with all bbi figures, accuracy is the hallmark by which each figure is measured and as always, intricate styling is seen in the current issue uniform and accessories. These 1:6 scale figures are perfect for collectors of firefighter memorabilia as well as those of finely crafted action figures.

bbi offers its gratitude to these previously reserved heroes who are truly cut from a different cloth.

All bbi action figures are available at specialty retail stores as well as through online retailers.
