Ah..."Timmy."  (Actually, "Tim.")

This fig first appeared in the Time Cruisers sets.  You see it some in the
Freestyle stuff, too.

He is held in contempt, I think, because he is sort of like Wesley Crusher
on Star Trek: the Next Genearation.

What the hell was Picard doing letting that little brat fly a starship?
What was Dr. Cyber doing letting a kid like Timmy have access to a time
machine?

(I know, I know, it's a kids' toy.  But we are talking about the afol
reaction to the figure, not the kids' one)
