      the only thing i didnt like about them is the fact the guns were not removable. i wanted them to be like the star wars figures.

        Yeah, I would have not been happy about that had I got these as a kid.

          I have all of these figures, some customs, the Marauder and Land Vehicle. I took a Buck and a Dr. Huer and swapped heads, then painted the sash red to have Buck in dress uniform and Huer in regular uniform. I also used a Star Wars cape as a pattern to make a white vynyl cape for Ardala. It just looks better I think.

            Always wanted the ships from this line.
            Might try to get hold of them some day.

              Twiki, R2 and Muffit were my favorite figures as a kid, and I would build ships and bases out of shoe boxes just for them. But even as a kid, I thought the Buck Rogers figures were lacking paint... so now I add my own paint to them.

                The Buck Rogers line was awesome, as a kid I wished Star Wars figures were this poseable, and I had the Starfighter and the launch center playset wich was very cool too.

                  I have seen the ships go for some crazy prices, but with anything on ebay, just be patient and a deal will come.

                    Damn! I wish I would'a thought of that. Great idea!

                      Definitely one of my favorites, too. Still had my Ardella and Draconian Guard from childhood. Had to recollect the rest! No vehicles yet.

                      What I need to do is go back and rewatch the show. Haven't seen it since back in the day and I can't remember anything!

                        Always wished the line had continued to encompass some of the characters from the series too... for instance I always wanted a figure of that android prison guard that pursues Buck and Jamie Lee Curtis.
                        And who didn't want a Tina figure to keep Twiki company?

                          I totally agree! These guys were a staple in my childhood throwdowns as a kid! Buck, Twiki & Starbuck were always landing on strange planets fighting Cantina Aliens, & mostly always looking for the Hulk, man, the stories I came up with as a kid! I'm SO pleased I finished my Buck Rogers collection a few years back, loose of course. I love a great carded figure, but I can't touch it if it's in the package. lol
