One photo. One memory. One thing to pass on to a kid. Then we’re gone till Thursday.
Cardboard. Bubble plastic - seeing all the accessories… The more accessories, the better the figure. The dossier files on the back felt like reading secrets. Gung-Ho was from Louisiana?
Having a collection like this felt like royalty.
I have to protect my figures.
Mom’s dull red nail polish on the bottom of the left foot was my secret. That was the source of my confidence bringing them to school, to the playground, to a sleep over - there would be no questions WHO owned Cobra Commander.
Tele-Viper always lost his phone. I have to remember to Krazy Glue it in place…
Homework Assignment
Tell a kid about the very distinct process of blowing on an N64 cartridge that was acting all glitchy. Don’t forget to reinforce it was different starting at the top and sliding down vs. the reverse. You know one always worked.
See ya next Thursday.
