When I was a very young kid, I remember seeing an ad for a set of western figures (small scale size) which had a quick-draw action feature. My memory is that a button pushed in the back caused them to draw (somewhat like the Bravestaff line from Mattel a few years later), but having learned most recently of the Butch & Sundance line from Kenner, where squeezing the legs prompted a quick-draw move, I am wondering now if this might not be the line. At some point in the late 1970s (probably 1979, but possibly as late as 1980), I remember seeing the ad and telling my mother I wanted those figures. She took the ad and used it to tell my grandmother to be on the lookout for them. For reasons that may just be a quirk of memory, I have this vague recollection the ad was in McCall's magazine (as it was something both my mother and grandmother read, and I remember my mother on the phone telling her to go look at the advertisement), but for all I know it was from a flier in the paper for a toy store.
Can anyone help? It may be that this is the short-lived Butch & Sundance line.
Thanks, Hugh
