[jedimaster]

Does anyone know of a lifesize tweeky from buck rogers either kit or of anyone who has built one / plans etc?

I think it's twiki

Here he is! WIth a special bonus appearance by a monkey wearing a teddy bear suit.

That's not a teddy bear suit, it is the daggit from the original Battlestar Galactica. I didn't reallize that it was a chimp inside though.

Holy Crap!! I always assumed that the Daggit was a remote controled prop!

Is my whole life a lie :cry

(Pssst... I think Phase knew it was Muffet). I just love the fact that up until now, I always assumed that the lil person inside Twiki was Billy Barty. Between Barty and Mel Blanc ( the voice of Twiki) he accounted for roughly 70 per cent of all the characters on kids TV in the seventies. Well, that's how I remember it anyhow. This picture makes me crazy happy.

That pic brings back great memories from both shows Phase:thumbsup

Felix is a cool guy, I met him at Dragon Con a few years ago! That's where I first found out he was also Cousin It from the Addams family.

I've ben keen on making a Twiki for many years. I could have him easily machined from foam or sign board if I could get my hands on a decent, accurate digital model of him.

I'd be down for making a Dr. Theopolis ... would make a nice classroom clock!

He also signs great through the mail. I had several things I sent him over the years to sign. If anyone needs his address let me know.

That Daggit always scared me when I was younger. Freaking creepy!

He was joking.
