Things I Own: V “The Visitors” Toy Cap Gun From Spain
I think I’m as much a fan of “V” as any other kid who grew up in the 80s. I’m no fanatic, but I am def stoked on the remake that premiered last night on ABC. (I actually haven’t seen it yet, but was excited by the notion of a remake.)
Back in college I decided to start collecting “V” memorabilia amongst all of the other crap that I already collected. There wasn’t too much of it out there, so I would pretty much buy whatever I found. I got this cap gun back around 1997 at an FX Collectible Shows. At the time I think I paid around $30 for it. I haven’t really researched it on eBay much after the fact to see if I got a good deal or not, but I think these are still pretty rare.

That’s awesome dude. Toy guns from movies are my favorite.
The premiere of the remake last night was pretty fresh.

I saw the first episode of the new “V”. It’s like a Sociology indoctrination video crossed with “Stargate” fanfiction written by someone who really hates Barack Obama. It made me barf on the carpet a little and my mom got so mad she threw a bowl of leftover Halloween candy at me.
