You wouldn't believe the amount of junk that was
made to go along with the Buck Rogers TV show.
We've got everything from trading cards, to lunch
boxes, costumes, diecast ships, and an unproduced
radio controlled walking Twiki.
According to a 1980 toys show catalog, the walking
Twiki is a "...radio controlled robot a full
12 inches high. Twiki walks forward while turning
its head from side to side. It also follows your
commands to turn rleft and right. But thta's just
the beginning. The radio controlled transmitter
sends your voice through Twiki and makes him beep.
In addition, Twiki carries Dr. Theopolis, its own
LED lit computer right on it's chest. Twiki, the
robot tat does so much it's almsot human."
I don't believe this toy was ever made, but wouldn't
it have been cool to have a robot Twiki?
