Fisher Price Rescue Heroes NEW IN PACKAGE Special F.D.N.Y. Edition Billy Blazes

Fisher Price Rescue Heroes NEW IN PACKAGE Special F.D.N.Y. Edition Billy Blazes
Tribute to Heroes
: The special edition figure was released as a tribute to the real-life FDNY firefighters who responded to the 9/11 attacks.
Fundraising Effort
: Originally, a portion of the proceeds from the special FDNY figure was intended for the FDNY. However, after the 9/11 events, Fisher-Price and Toys R Us decided that 
all proceeds
 from the sale of this specific figure would be donated directly to the FDNY Fire Safety Education Fund, ultimately contributing more than $500,000.
Design
: The figure itself is a standard Billy Blazes action figure, the team leader of the 
Rescue Heroes
, known for his bravery. The special nature of this edition is primarily in the packaging, which features specific FDNY branding and a special message from then-Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen.
