Astrosnik


Astrosniks, called Sniks for short, are fictional characters created in 1975, by the German company Bullyland. Astrosniks toys are highly collectible, especially the plastic figurines.

A Snik is about 5 to 6 cm (2" to 2.5") high, and possesses enormous strength and intelligence. They have antennae (most have two, but Galaxo has only one) and prominent buckteeth. There is a notable racial diversity; although most Sniks have green skin (with yellow or orange hair), some are orange (with yellow hair), black (with silver hair), pink, or blue skin.

A subspecies of Astrosniks, Marsmen Sniks (also known as Walkman Sniks), do not have any arms or visible noses. They too have a wide range of skin tones: blue, orange, red, yellow, green, black, and white.

Sniks are frequently described as happy, lovable, and friendly. They are said to be eager to learn and "they always take time to play, to be funny, and to enjoy life and friendships". Sniks are called "friends of mankind", but the nature and extent of their interaction with humans has not been revealed.

Astrosnik transportation includes dune buggies, rockets, and flying saucers. Their design has a retro-futuristic look.

The Astrosniks have an ancient culture is said to have developed rapidly due to their communication system called "Sniknet", which is not to be confused with their language, "Sniklish". They possess space travel, as well time travel technology.
