Tinman Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's hard to believe this guy is considered "vintage", it only seemed like yesterday...Anyway, I added this to the collection tonight on sort of an impulse buy. The boxed ones seem to go for big bucks these days so I thought a loose one would do. Like the robots I purchased a few weeks ago, this one looks like it's in great shape and only needs a good cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyboy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ha! - I have the same guy in my collection!Twiki looks huge in your photos! - He is only a mere 7" tall.I bought him years ago at a small flea market for about $5.Besides having great memories of Twiki growing up as a child...I really like the fact that he is a wind-up robot.Not only does he walk...His head turns back-and-forth with each step. I was very surprised. I had to snatch him up and buy him!I've never regretted it. He fits in and displays great next to my other robots in my "Plastics" Collection. - Love him!

Tinman Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 Sweet! I can't exactly remember what the boxed ones are bringing these days but I'm thinking it's well over $100. Especially in as good a condition as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Cool. I also have the action figure version...on a minty card. ;) I've never seen the tiny one...maybe from some kind of play set? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 As suspected, he just needed someone who cares...he cleaned up real good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 A 1979 Mego catalog which appears to show a chrome plated wind-up Twiki. Anyone have one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
