Evil-Lyn

SUMMARY:
Evil-Lyn, the “evil warrior goddess,” was produced in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mexico (Aurimat), Argentina (Top Toys), Venezuela (Rotoplast), Brazil (Estrela), Spain, and India (Leo). Evil-Lyn has a spring-loaded waist that swings back with a power punch and a crystal ball staff.

The Aurimat Evil-Lyn is distinguished by pale blue highlights, a filled-in breastplate, a translucent head, a short belt, and a helmet with an incompletely painted ridge at the back. Released in the first year of the Los Amos del Universo (1984) production, the figure is stamped © M.I. 1981 1982 behind the head.

Its torso paint is reminiscent of the rarer short-belt Taiwan Evil-Lyn, but with some notable differences. The paint application is more precise, with each detail on the stomach painted individually—whereas the Taiwan version often appears more haphazard. Additionally, the breastplate is fully painted in.

The celeste-colored staff is unmarked and does not glow in the dark. Its mold lacks the beveled base found on most other versions—a feature unique to the Aurimat and Spain variants.

There are two known paint variations of this figure: one with the belt fully painted on the back of the shorts, and another with the back belt left unpainted. Over time, the face can become pale, a common trait associated with Aurimat plastic aging.
