    No, I am not going to become a FH collector.

    I added this particular FH to my collection as Randy knew I was interested in the way the FH figure was made with the lines for a figure. Just something that I liked & Forvm had it on sale so I got it.

    Thanks to Randy for the Mint ID too.

    Stripes at Nicomedia.... I can relate to that. It seems a consistent design trait across issues.
