Croner Buck Rogers

Croner Buck Rogers

Courtesy of my friend Will AKA The Toltoys Kid on Instagram, I present what I believe to be one of the rarest 70s toy lines ever. The Croner Buck Rogers action figure series.

  It's so rare that I don't even know how many characters were made but I have seen a Tiger Man and this Buck, so at least two. Twiki is a safe bet too.

 And while it's natural to assume this is repackaged Mego figure, it isn't. It's nearly 5.5" tall and only uses the same card art as Mego. Now, Will's site has evidence that the Mego line did make it to Australia as well but it's not know if Croner did that as well.

 It's very curious that Australia would have toys so similar (even if this figure appears to have limited to no articulation) but it also happened in the United Kingdom.

I'm thrilled to finally see something that I've been curious about for so long, that's what makes toy collecting so interesting.

 Thanks again to Toltoys Kid on Instagram for sharing.

    I remember having Buck Roger's toys but they did not look like that. Pretty cool tho.

    I grew up in Australia and had a Tiger man figure. I’m sure it came in a blister pack.
