D is for Do I Not Like That Beadally-beadally Bass'tud!

Said no Turnip-head, never! I really didn't like the poxy thing, is was the ersatz idiot-kid/fluffy-dog (Daggit)/K9/R2D2 of the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century franchise, not that I was that enamoured of the series as a whole. The majority of the budget seemed to have been spent on the opening titles and the episodes were mostly Dr. Who quality, but without the action?

Anyway, Corgi had a poke and produced these two as 'enhancing play-value accessories' to accompany a die-cast space-fighter model - 647 A1 - Buck Rogers Starfighter. Polystyrene, the robot chromium-plated over neutral plastic, Buck in white with minor paint highlights.

Kill 'em, kill 'em all, or they'll keep coming with their mildly witty, slightly saccharine, child-like asides and platitudes, kill 'em now, all of 'em! Twiki? I think I called him Twiggey last time - I don't care, I hated the little bleeder!

I'm afraid I can't do that Dave, I'm not tall enough.
