Well, what it says, how do you make Buck Rogers a relevant and thriving property. Figure you've got a cool million to work with. Not a lot by modern standards. No, you can't take the million and go home or to Bermuda or the Caiman Islands or anything because that's what we'd all do if we had a million we could take off with. Nope, to get the money you have to produce the property.
Personally, I think retro is the way to go. Buck Rogers was always a little more sciency than Flash Gordon but bring on the bubble helmets and rocketships. I'd probably do a comic and an rpg because the cost of development is reasonable, but I could see doing action figures. I'd probably hedge my bets a bit and do a generic male and female doll and costumes because then I can always carry them forward to another property if Buck flops.
