So, the other night, I heard my dog chomping on something.� I got up to see what it was.� But, I didn't find anything in her mouth.� As I returned to bed, though, I saw something on the floor in the dark.� Turns out, it was this General Tomahawk figure.� I have no idea where she got it.� I think my boys had the figure out and must have left it somewhere the dog could find it.
So, now, this figure is a flesh colored stump atop a torso that has just shoulders and upper arms.� His legs no longer have feet.� I tossed what was left of the figure into my custom fodder box.� I don't really know why.� I have put all my spare pieces into this box since at least 1986.� And, I have never done anything with them.� The box is massive and there's everything in their from my childhood straight arm pieces to old CORPS! figures and, now, what remains of this Tomahawk.� My plan is that I'll retire in the next 25 to 30 years.� And, when I do, customizing Joes will be something I do in my copious spare time.� So, stop by in the 2050's and see if I follow through.
Time was, I had a couple of these figures.� But, I'm not sure if I had more than 1 these days.� So, the days of this General Tomahawk appearing in photos could be over.� I hope I find a spare in the 2002 drawer.� But, I don't care enough to actually look.� Maybe sometime next week.� But, this is a figure that's worth having.� It's better than the 2000 version and is the type of figure that's nice background fodder in many photos.��
