My ten year old son gave me one of those proud father days.
I had purchased a Lot on Ebay in order to get a Thor figure. When it arrived it also contained a Spiderman with broken hand, and a type one robin missing shoes and gloves, and had a frayed cape. My son has watched my hobby closely but has never shown an interest. I bought him some CTV knights for christmas but he put them on a shelf and left them in their boxes.
When my package came my son asked if he could play with the new Robin and Spiderman..... a nice warm feeling spread though my heart and I told him not only could he play with them, but he could have them, and I would repair his spiderman and look through my parts to repace Robins missing clothes. He snatched up the figures and ran downstairs and promptly started ripping the knights out of their boxes and started waging battles. He even pulled out an old Hulk figure that I forgot that I had given him a few years ago. He made a Proud MEGO dad very happy!!
When he left tonight to spend the night at his grandmothers he grabbed Spidey and Robin and packed them in his bag......does it get any better than that.
