I have to admit that I was not a fan of the Buck Rogers TV show. It came at a time when I was becoming increasingly disinterested in television in general (and still am) and a lot of now iconic shows simply flew under my radar (however, I did enjoy the original Battlestar Galactica!).
And then there was BUCK ROGERS in The 25th Century...
...and Twiki.
This character was not a part of the original Buck Rogers canon but rather written into the television series plot line as Buck's small robot sidekick. A lot of us simply recognize it as a cheap copy of certain Star Wars robot characters, and it was something that totally turned me off to the series. That said, here we are 40+ years later, and as an adult space toy collector I really dig the HG Toys playset - including this guy. Why? Because I don't have to hear him talk or watch his antics! 😅
