@PrfktTear@aol.com: Its nice enough, but I still think the face could have been better. With the WWE figures comming out I think Mattel will be re-using a lot of the parts so there will be a lot more variety of parts in the MOTU line.

@Mark: Thanks! I found the pic. She's gorgeous! Honestly, the lack of any unique tooling for the body really doesn't bother me. I also don't really care that they didn't give her an open cast spelling hand. They def would have gotten points for including an additional hand, but since we haven't seen that yet in the line I don't think its something to hold against them. Plus, if she does have her wand/staff, it would have been annoying to not be able to pose her with the staff in both hands.

@Mark: Thank you! I'll look into that!

@J.Adrian728 – I'm not too upset over the hand thing. Plus I think to swap a hand they'd need to redo something maybe. Also, I think comparing swapping hands and Trap Jaw's cannon are two different things.

@Poe: thats very true. But won't they be giving Trap-jaw interchangeable hand pieces for his robotic arm?

@J.Adrian728: I think that's unlikely, because we haven't had an interchangeable hand yet in MOTUC. But anything's possible.

ooooo… as for extra accessories, anyone think that perhaps she may come with another hand? Possibly open palmed with the blue flame like her staction figure?

Gosh! Am I the only person who's genuinely happy with the Evil-Lyn results? I mean, you have to bare in mind that the photos taken are obviously from a prototype and not a finished product. I'm hoping to see some use of metallics mixed with the armor like Teela's and perhaps more variation in color on the staff… but I'm not worried, the horseman know what they're doing. As far as the armor sculpt, she's exactly what I expected. Yes, it's a repaint of Teela's armor, just like it was in the original toy, but the sculpt they've created for the armor lends itself beautifully to both characters, the leaves being more reminiscent of Teela and the horned bits more of Evil-Lyn's 200X costume. The face is stunning, sultry, sexy and completely devious. I understand that some people are disappointed and from a buyer's perspective I totally get it but given that this line is supposed to be reminiscent of the original line I don't think anyone should've expected anything different! I'm thrilled, and if anyone out there isn't, well, more for me lol and less time on the red screen come April 15:)

Sooo… I went to Newbury Comics last night to take a peek at this Evil-Lyn in TF, but of course the magazines were sealed in plastic. Not being a db, I left them as is. Do any of you crafty folk know where one might be able to take a peak? I woulda just picked up the issue (it looks pretty good, Super Mario toy news?!), and I will do so when I get paid… next Friday. Until then however, I am rabidly foaming at the mouth to gaze upon the Lyn that is Evil. Out of respect for Poe, don't post anything here, but if you could e-mail me a link or something at PrfktTear (at) aol (dot) com.
