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)
