I bought the whole set of these action figures of A Christmas Story from Amazon. The "Old Man" has a right hand for both hands! No left hand, just another right hand attached. The Mom I ordered has her right leg considerably shorter than the other, she won't stand up, you have to put something under it to prop her up. So far, these two are defective pieces. Oh well, just too much trouble to send them back.

Well, it's ONE of the coolest things I've ever seen! "A Christmas Story" is one of my top favorite films of all time, and, as a toy collector, I LOVE having these collectibles! In case you didn't know, this figure is the "Old Man," AKA Ralphie's dad, played by Darren McGavin (also known to fans as TV's Kolchak, the Night Stalker; when do we get some figures of THAT?!). The Old Man is an awesome likeness, and comes complete with his treasured "Major Award," the notorious leg lamp! And, to address the problem a previous reviewer had, my figure wasn't defective, so they can't all be. Set this up alongside Ralphie, Randy, and Mom, and you have one awesome Christmas Story display! Highly recommended for collectors and fans of the film, and/or Darren McGavin!

This was a gag gift for our son ( aged 32) who tradition has it watches theChristmas story marathon every year. A bit much for a gag gift, especially combined with the other one with the son and shotgun, but I finagaled it with getting $30 off for getting the credit card! Needless to saty, he was hysterical ( and my DIL was pleased as she thought I was getting the actual lamp..full size!!!)

The figure id just a bit big for G scale. But the house is up on a hill and at a distance it looks GREAT!
