I remember trying so hard to draw that first shadowy image. It was not very good. I also remember owning two figures. After crushing hundreds upon hundreds of cans with my dad, he gave me a cut of the recycling proceeds in the form of Dick Tracy. I would later get The Tramp, because I liked that he came with a knife and a plank. I often chose my figures based on the accessories. Man..now I really want to rip open some Tracy wax packs.

So much Dick Tracy goodness here, it makes me want to listen to the Read-Along Story in our Read-Along section.

@Caps 2.0 So basically you were "The Kid" from the movie and got to use Dick Tracy's name in real life? That's awesome! Maybe you should try to set-up one of your famous interviews with that child actor, Charlie Korsmo, since he was also in Hook and What About Bob?

I loved Dick Tracy so much that, for the first half of my second grade year, I signed all my papers as Dick Tracy. The teachers, although they wanted me to use my birth name, were understanding. That was probably my first time that I wanted to separate myself from my birth name.
While my birth name is still my legal name, I rarely introduce myself to people under my birth name anymore. I now use the name Johnny Caps in my writing and on my social media.
Feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook, Hoju. I'd be interested in learning more about your writing process.

@oldschool80s Sounds like a cool collector's item. I had no idea they were doing midnight screenings of new films that far back.
@jkatz Yeah, I actually got the Dick Tracy NES game recently and man, is it a bummer. I like the varied gameplay and mystery concept, but all the snipers on the rooftop are ridiculous.

I saw a special midnight premiere showing of the film with a group of friends because it was so hyped. I remember being a little disappointed compared to what my expectations were, but that it was still a fun time. I received a special t-shirt for attending this showing and I believe I still have it packed away somewhere.

This movie certainly has more merchandise than I thought it would...I'd take any of these over the notoriously awful NES tie-in game.
