As a lefty myself, I found it interesting when I got that Greatest Battles DVD back to see that the Flint arms Duke uses have the hands set up to hold a weapon left-handed. This is now the second time (the first being the old JvC figure) that Flint has been sculpted with hands intended to hold weapons as a southpaw. Has Hasbro decided to give us our first "official" Joe lefty? I think that'd be pretty awesome, especially if it's a great character like Flint! Thoughts? __________________ RIP Minouche, 1994-2009.

He's holding his shotgun in his left hand on his card art. Flint's card art is some of the most iconic joe art (after like 1982 Grunt since that was everywhere)

Actually, the term I think you are looking for is AmbiDexterous. I could be wrong, though! So much has changed since I was a kid. Used to be Stewardess, now it's "Flight Attendant". Maybe they have changed the terminology. But when I was a kid, one of my friends could write with both hands and they said he was "Ambidexterous".
