Grand son snapped this for me as I was driving.
The Tinman had such a big heart and didn't know it. He along with the Scarecrow and the Lion always went that extra mile to make sure Dorothy was safe and taken care of.
I always loved that sense of charm he brought to the movie. This doll was an easy find, being Walmart seemed to have an endless supply of him, but one was enough. I should've got another because with certain dolls I like to have one in box and one to play with or display!! Never know what the future holds, lol.
