MAKE your own Buck Rodgers 25th century figures...

Xlg Buck
I really like this 1933 ad, they sold kits to make toys and encourage the Maker kids to make REAL MONEY "Get this great outfit! Make toy castings of Buck with his marvelous Disintegrator Pistol . . . Wilma Deering, his faithful Lieutenant . . . and Killer Kane, the arch-criminal of the 25th Century. Paint your castings in bright, lifelike colors. Make all the toys you want. Sell them at a big profit! Millions of people are interested in Buck's adventures . . . and follow them daily in newspapers and radio. Start your own toy business with this complete outfit. Make real money." - Link.
