Summary
A silver coloured plastic wind-up Twiki doll from the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century series. It has moulded features and is jointed at the shoulders and hip. The head can turn from side to side. The clockwork handle is on one side at hip level - it is jammed but would usually make the arms and legs move backwards and forwards so it would walk. The 'hands' are fashioned into clips so the doll can hold things. There is a colourful paper circular sticker on the breastplate which details circuitry and other technical information. Inscribed on the doll's back is 'c 1978 Robert C. Dille'.
