It is an homage to a specific character from yet another much-loved British institution, and the baseball bat was very much part of her schtick. Without it, she wouldn't be who she's meant to be.  :)

Completely brilliant!  :-* Can I make another request for Flash 'Arry?  :D


I always thought the fella on the right in the 'GN3 The Candy Kid's Street Punks' pack would make a great Flash 'Arry...

Who's is she? I just googled baseball bat girl and all I got was extreme porn and crime reports  :?

They haven't even done the usual "not-" figure thing of changing the name.  :)

No, it's a baseball bat. It says so in her description. Rounders bats are only about a foot long.

See the above discussion for the details of why she has a baseball bat.  :)

It isn't me that is calling it a baseball bat. It is the people who sculpted it. Look at the original post.

"Ace" was Dorothy's nickname, and the name she generally went by.


I don't mean to be rude, but are you being deliberately obtuse and contrary? Because that is how you are coming across.
