Three's Company was a super formative show from my youth. It originally ran from 1976-1984 and was in regular syndication for many years after. I awkwardly find myself circling back to the show in the midst of first-date conversations -- it was that level of formative for me. I truly never expected to see action figures from this show, but I shouldn't be surprised by anything these days. The show was an American remake of the British show Man About the House - both about three platonic roommates (one man and two women) living their young single lives, hiding from their landlords, and getting into hijinks with their flirty neighbors. Joyce DeWitt played Janet Wood, a petite quirky florist who was portrayed with the air of a tomboy (at least in comparison to the bubbly blonde Chrissy), but beyond the short hair and boyish nightshirts, she really wasn't a tomboy at all. Of the three figures in the line (so far... c'mon Ropers 2-Pack!), she has the worst likeness, but she's somehow still instantly recognizable.
The three characters in this line each have two paint versions: a standard single-carded version plus an SDCC-Exclusive 3-Pack.
This post will highlight both.
I couldn't not photograph Jack Tripper. His figures actually have the best likeness of the trio.
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are all the Three's Company figures all together.

Here are the three single-carded standard release figures together.
And here are the SDCC Exclusive box set repaints.
Cheers!
