I remember it well. My mom bought me set 709 Police Boat on an out of
town trip (I was 8 or 9) and I have a distinct memory of sitting in the
back seat (of a large, gas-guzzling Ford Ltd.) and opening the box,
building the model and moving the new, posable minifig. I thought it
was GREAT that you could move the arms and legs and that the fig had a
smiley face painted on it! The only thing I found strange was that you
couldn't take apart the torso and legs to make a fig sit like the
previous ones...at first I thought that a seated minifig looked stupid
and less realistic than the "lap" seating that was posible with the
older figures.
