Lieutenant Starbuck from Mattel’s Battlestar Galactica

May 8, 2013

Lt. Starbuck by Mattel 1978

Light years before the name “Starbuck” added an “s” and became synonymous with caffè latte, the world’s most famous Starbuck was the fictional first mate of the Pequod, the whaling ship at the heart of Herman Melville's novel Moby-Dick.
