Damn it!!!
Not entirely my daughter's fault. I was digging through some of my stuff looking for a part to a restore I'm doing and she wanted to help. She picked up one of the STUN flags and asked about it and although the base was broken already it still displayed nicely. She got bored, left and I quickly discover the flag looking like this. At least I have repo flags for the STUN. |

Poor thing probably didn't know it was supposed to be bent and was trying to straighten it for her Daddy and it snapped. Hope you weren't too hard on her

She is oblivious that it happened. I never even told her it broke. Besides, those things are so delicate she may have just breathed on it causing it to break.

I can't get mad at her when you show such a cute pic! Not playing fair... ;)

ain't that the truth! the only thing I worry about breaking more than 82 straight arm Joes are the flags on my stun and python stun, and the engine covers. I've broken a few flags, I put the few decent ones I have up and only use the repro ones now.

I know what you mean, my friend's son was looking at some of my sealed Joes, dropped my 1983 Zap and it shattered on impact, only fell about 3 feet onto hardwood floors, but it was enough. That green plastic is so brittle...

I know the feeling. I have my nieces over this weekend and my 5-year-old niece wanted to play with my Flagg. We did for a little while, extremely gently and with me tensing up each time she moved even a little, but she enjoyed it for a bit before getting bored and wanting to get back to her iPad.
It was strange, I realized that she is about the age I was when the thing came out. I would have been all over it for months, but she lost interest pretty quickly. Sometimes the generational difference takes me by surprise.
