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 Hong Kong figure is the Mattel standard, on which all Evil-Lyns are based. Characteristics include a dark blue helmet, torso, boots, and bright celeste highlights. The figure is marked © MI 1981 1982 in the helmet. The weapon glows in the dark and is marked HONG KONG.

Both Hong Kong and Taiwan (Long Belt) figures are very similar. The main difference is that Hong Kong has slightly brighter, more celeste-colored accents, and the limbs are brighter yellow. Taiwan Evil-Lyns are marked the same on the helmet as a Hong Kong Evil-Lyn, except for the subtle TAIWAN hidden behind the neck. You need to turn the head of the Evil-Lyn to see the marking. 

The Hong Kong staff is darker than the Taiwan staff.
