I must say, Thin Lynn may be my favorite series 1 cheap toy. When I was first collecting, the fact that a base is needed for the figure to stand ( Lynn is the only gpk cheap toy figure that incorporates a base ) turned me off a little. Now, after collecting for a while, looking at all the different sculpts, I find this figure to have the most character.
ReplyDeleteFor sure. I think the Lynn figure really captures the spirit of the card artwork.
