Nice find.
www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?M=sw0927

I rarely find LEGO at physical thrift stores; however, I do manage to pick up
some good bulk lots online.

My best find this year was a Pre Vizsla. Unfortunately, the torso has a crack,
but still valuable parts.

Unfortunately, I rarely have time to list used around the holidays, so all the
rare and minifigure parts just pile up.

I usually sell the common stuff as bulk to get it out of my house.

Just bought a 33 pound (28 pound probably after removing junk and bin weight)
lot for $56 a week ago.

Is it the lighting? Because the figure in the OP looks very tan, not LBG

In case this is not a joke / In case someone would take it at face value: Never
do that with ABS plastic (or many other plastics actually).  Chlorine is bad.

Faun legs!

Silvanus has sometimes been identified with Pan and Faunus (and a bunch of other
deities).  Some considered him a grandson of Faunus.
And there’s often several Sylvains (like here!).  At least three for each domain
(one for the home, one for the fields & pastures, one for the limits of the domain),
so one is missing on the forum!

I can't decide if I like it more or not.

Have you checked to make sure it's LEGO? If not, it's a pretty good looking
fake, but the color just isn't right.
