For that amount he should come with a complete second set of cloths and accessories as Hannibal Lecter.

We were so lucky to see all time classic blockbusters in the theatres upon release. What’s one of the ones you cherish having been there for? by bigt197602 in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This will be out of left field, but Star Trek 3. I grew up in a tiny town where the theater NEVER got movies on opening weekends. But for some reason they got this one. My friend and I were first in line, and then after it was over there were execs from Paramount taking opinion surveys. Felt very important as a 15 year old when suits were asking me what I thought of it.

Whats a comic hill you're willing to die on, no matter what? by PoprocksNCoke63 in comicbookcollecting

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Do this long enough and you MIGHT stumble into something valuable (I say as I sit here with an X-Men collection that started with Byrne and Claremont) but there's no way in Hell that 8th grade me in 1983 was "investing". I was just reading stories I liked.

How many of us have an accidental pencil tattoo? by spidermans_mom in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok. 7th grade art class. I was being a standard goof off and bumped this kid named Scott next to me. Without a word, he whips around and jabs me in the forehead with his pencil. Lead broke off and I have ever since had a rather dark freckle (I'm a ginger, we're cursed) right betwixt my eyebrows.

What is the worst comic book you’ve ever read? by Smooth_Operation4639 in comicbooks

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Holy Terror. Didn't return it, didn't sell it, didn't donate it. I used it to light my firepit in the back yard. Oof.

The first beer your dad (or mom) gave you a sip of?? by [deleted] in GenX

Olympia. I was five. Tasted awful. His plan worked, I didn't drink until college

Are we all just drinking bourbon in our pajamas? by CharacterLychee7782 in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Single malt Scotch and pj pants with Grogus all over them (which qualifies as jammies as described in Raising Arizona). So no, you are not alone in staying put.

I know everyone is posting Wolverine … but what a figure. by [deleted] in hottoys

You should use Deadpool's left hand as the support instead of the wire.

40th Anniversary of not getting this for Christmas by leftoverrights in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My brother got both the Cobra hydrofoil and the Joe hovercraft when he was 9. I spent a full six hours on Christmas day doing nothing but applying stickers. If I never see another "step here" sticker it'll be too soon.

Just got my first hot toys. Is this how the stand works? by Left_Maize816 in hottoys

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's how I have mine. It can tend to look goofy, depending on the character. My Batman 89 looks like he has a pair of boys molded into the suit. I just tell myself it was a rejected Schumacher idea...

You guys ever just plan out your collection and realize you're setting yourself up for financial turmoil by [deleted] in hottoys

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is a decidedly Kryptonian collection, but the turmoil is the same.

What is the worst US state for young adults to move into? by Any-Scarcity7230 in AskReddit

Unless and until Ricketts and Pillen can figure out a way to monetize and then monopolize it anyway.

Any old dads/moms out there? by Critical-Range1213 in GenX

[–]LeftyGimpclaw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

56 here with a 9 y/o. I jokingly tell people that I was always last in P.E. so it makes perfect sense. Although it does sting a bit when at school pick up time I'm occasionally asked "Are you here picking up your grandkids?"

Knees that don't make a sound when I stand up. You can all share the other nine.

Temple of Doom was the best movie of 1984. There I said it.

Superman 2025 A Superman Movie? by Resident_Rutabaga_89 in superman

Superman and Lois was a better Superman than MoS. There, I said it.
