Jurassic Park: Dinosaurs 3: (Ultra) Tyrannosaurus Rex



Year of release: 2005

Description: this larger T-Rex figure measures some 25 centimetres in length and stands just over 15 centimetres tall. This Rex sculpts stands in an attack posture, with its tail bent upwards and its head slightly tilted up. Its legs stand far apart from each other. This Rex is pretty skinny and has little body mass. It’s mostly head, limbs and tail. A very large dino damage would is found on its right flank, showing white ribs and red muscle tissue. The upper piece of exposed rib is actually a button which activates a shrieking roar, as if the creature is in pain. A second roar, more aggressive and imposing, can be made by pulling its right arm down: when doing so the mouth will also open. A third sound, the stomping noise, can be made by having the T-Rex stomp on the ground. The sound quality of all three sounds is not very good, some static is heard as well.
This (Ultra) T-Rex sports a darker paint job than its previous incarnations. Except for its underside (throat, belly and lower part of the tail), which is coloured light grey, all of its body is painted dark grey. The darkest parts of grey are found on the head and back, while the tail and limbs are of a slightly lighter shade of grey. Red stripes run from the neck over the back to the end of the tail, while there are also a few of them on the upper legs. The stripes on the back are more pronounced because the torso section of this sculpt is composed of harder material. The claws on both hands and feet are painted very light grey, almost white. The Tyrannosaurus has a pink tongue and inside of its mouth, as well as small red eyes with black pupils. It carries a white JP logo on each upper leg.



Analysis: the not so impressive Tyrant King of Hasbro returns a third time to do a quick cash grab from kids and collectors alike! At least this time the paint job is totally different, instead of a pale copy of the original JP III Rex like the JPD2 release featured (though it's also not nearly as ingenious or appealing as the Camo-Xtreme Canyon T-Rex's paint scheme). A darker and grittier colour scheme is found on this T-Rex, hinting at its status as a terrifying large carnivore with big nasty pointy teeth. The combination of dark grey (almost black even) and red stripes also makes it look a bit like a possible Camo-Xtreme Lava T-Rex. It's a good paint job, but also a bit too simple: just dark grey with a few small red stripes and a light grey underside. For such a big sculpt, more detailing would have been appreciated.
Aside from the new paint job, this Rex is otherwise no improvement over its JPD2 predecessor. It's still a big but skinny creature standing in an awkward posture that hinders playability, with an unimaginative and ineffective attack feature, and the same old sounds of crappy quality with weak electronics to support them. It still features silly stomping sounds which can only be activated by bashing the figure's feet to the ground, only speeding up the process of the electronics inside dying an all to quick death. Even though JPD3 is a fairly recent toy line, it's quite common for MIB samples to be unable to produce sounds, and it ain't just the batteries being dead. Overall, the new paint job is the only potential worthwhile thing in this set.

Repaint: yes. This is a repaint of the JP III Ultra T-Rex figure. The sculpt has been repainted before for Camo-Xtreme and JPD2.

Overall rating: 5/10. A different and dark paint job for this T-Rex, which suits it well but is a bit bland. The sculpt itself still is quite disappointing for a big figure. Like the other big JPD2/3 electronic dinosaurs, this figure was common a few years back, but, in terms of availability, its numbers are in swift decline. You might still get one for a decent price now, but don't expect this situation to last much longer.

The Lost World Series 1: Bull T-Rex


Year of release: 1997

Accessories:
-Survival Pod



Description: this dinosaur is the largest of all JP dinosaur toys ever produced. It measures a good 70 centimetres in length, and stands about 20 centimetres tall. This Rex stands in an active pose, with its left leg moved forward and its right leg backward, as if walking. Its head is quite large, almost as big as its belly, to accommodate its action feature, which is to swallow figures. About every human figure and most smaller dinosaurs can fit in its mouth and through the throat, like it appears the Bull is eating them. Afterwards such figures can be retrieved via a slit in its belly. This Rex also features electronic sounds. There’s a button, located under the skin on its back, just at the base of the legs. Pressing this produces either one of three different sounds: an attack roar, a growl, and chomping noises.
The Bull T-Rex sports an imaginative paint job. Its flanks, side of the neck and tail, and parts of the head, arms and upper legs are painted dark blue. Most of the face, arms and legs are coloured brownish yellow, with a broad stripe of the same colour running from the base of the neck to about halfway across the tail. This yellow stripe is adorned with a total of 19 black stripes that also run over the dark blue. On the lower legs there is a similar pattern: a row of four black stripes runs over each of the lower legs, with a slight dark brown hue around them. Where the yellow ends on the tail, the black takes over, so the last 12 centimetres of the upper part of the tail sport this colour. Additionally, black stripes are found on the head, particularly on the snout of the creature. The skin around the eyes is black as well. Interestingly enough, these eyes aren’t just painted on the Rex, but are actually little transparent balls, bright green on the inside, with black irises. The underside of the figure (the belly, lower part of the tail and throat) is coloured white. The huge claws on its massive feet are black, though the small claws on the side of the legs aren’t painted, and neither are the claws on its hands. A dark brown JP: Site B logo is located on the right leg, along with the number .28. Most of this Rex sculpt is composed of a thick flexible material, to give it a hint of realistic dinosaur skin.
This Tyrannosaurus comes with what is called a survival pod. It’s basically a sort of cage, though not to lock vile creatures up, but to provide shelter for a single person. Inside, there’s a human figure (non removable), with a look of horror on his face. He wears a red shirt (very Star Trek!), along with short green pants, a brown belt, red socks and brown boots. He also has brown hair. The pod itself sports a silvery metallic paint job. On the back there’s a pair of red “wings”, which can fold out, to prevent the Bull Rex from swallowing it (it’s a survival pod after all!).

Analysis: this stupendously huge Rex sculpt is very impressive. It towers over human figures, and dwarfs most other dinosaurs of this toy line (except for its mate, the Thrasher T-Rex). Its ability to “eat” figures makes it the undisputed King of Dinosaurs. Since one of the most notable acts the Tyrannosaurs in the movies performed was eating stuff, it’s good to finally have a figure capable of doing just that. Almost all human figures of the various toy lines, with the exception of JPS2 Dr. Snare, fit through its mouth. The same goes for a lot of the smaller dinosaur figures. Dilophosaurus? No problem at all! Velociraptor? Easy meal! The figures can be retrieved through the slit in its belly. It’s a bit of a shame this slit can’t be closed, since now this Rex basically walks around with a huge hole in its belly. However, it’s designed pretty tightly, so it’s not noticeable in an overly annoying way. It might as well be a black stripe running across its stomach.
The Rex has three different electronic sounds at its disposal. The button is hidden under the skin on its back, but is easy to press. This Rex roars, growls and makes chomping noises (like it’s chewing on metal, which in the case of the survival pod is true). The roar and growl are somewhat similar, adding consistency. One thing that is a bit of a nuisance: the battery holder of this animal is located right under the back, and is only accessible through the slit in its belly. However, it’s not easy to reach, making it real difficult to replace the batteries.
The paint job this T-Rex features is a bit odd. The blue is okay, but the combination of yellow and black on the back reminds one of the strips of the same colour found on the packaging of the TLW figures. It’s not bad, but it could have been better. Another thing which makes this otherwise great sculpt look a bit funny is the disproportionably big head. Granted, this was done to accommodate the swallowing, but it would have been preferable to make the Rex’s body even bigger by comparison. Though it’s quite large already, so it would probably get too big to play with then.
The survival pod looks a bit like a coffin, which isn’t far off, since it fits perfectly through the Rex’s mouth, most likely killing the poor soul trapped inside. However, the “wings” on the back create a method of rescue, since the Rex can’t swallow the pod when these are folded out. The pod can be opened, but sadly the figure inside can’t be removed, so you can’t put other figures in.



Playability: disappointing, unfortunately. The only poseable parts of this Rex are its arms. It also doesn’t stand in a neutral pose, which combined with its size makes it hard to handle, especially for kids. Though the eating option is a great and imaginative action feature, it’s probably the only additional playability option. It’s a good thing this Rex comes with no less than three different sounds, as well as the survival pod, stimulating overall possibilities. However, it would have been cooler if the figure in the survival pod could be taken out, so that other figures could take its place. Another negative point: once taken out of its box, the legs of this figure have a habit of slowly shifting inwards, making it hard for this figure to stand up straight (though its enormous feet are helpful in that matter). Since this Rex is electronic, you can’t go around playing too rough with it if you want to keep it in working order. Basically, it comes down to this: for playability, get the Thrasher T-Rex; for sheer impressiveness, sounds and eating figures, get this Bull T-Rex.

Realism: this figure is recognizable as a Tyrannosaurus, mostly because of the two fingered claws and the fact it’s a huge bipedal predator. However, the disproportionate head and feet make it a bit unrealistic. Its paint job is also quite different from the colour pattern its movie counterparts sported. Still, this creature can eat figures, just like the Rexes in the JP movies did on a regular basis. Additionally, the sounds (particularly the roar), are more or less movie accurate. A survival pod was not featured in the TLW film, nor is the figure inside reminiscent of any of the characters in that movie.

Repaint: yes, actually. This Rex is a repaint of the Gulper T-Rex, which was planned for the JPS2 toy line, but unfortunately ended up not being released. A great loss, but this Bull-Rex makes up for it. Basically, this figure appears new but really isn’t, though nobody cares nor should care, since we’re lucky this wonderful sculpt got released after all. This sculpt would be repainted again for the Chaos Effect line, as the fearsome Omega T-Rex, sporting colours that cause instant colour blindness. The survival pod would be repainted along with it. A third time proved to be the charm for this tremendous tyrant lizard, when JP 2009 gave us a big surprise by delivering a heavily retooled but still instantly recognizable Bull T-Rex with a plethora of all new sounds, poseable legs and even feet and a hard plastic torso, but without the gulping action or the survival pod.

Overall rating: 8/10. Okay, so it’s not really playable. It’s still a great and awe inspiring sculpt, with good sounds and a fun action feature, making it a definite must have for any JP collector. Unfortunately it didn’t get a release everywhere, making it harder to find in some territories, though it’s not particularly rare in the USA. Ebay usually provides a solution, though because of the size of this creature, as well as the fact it’s quite sought after, costs won’t be low. However, it’s certainly worth the money and makes a great addition to any JP collection.

Jurassic Park Series 1: Electronic Tyrannosaurus Rex

(a.k.a. Red Rex)

Year of release: 1993

Accessories:
-Collector’s Card #16 (alternate card (#64) for 1994 re-release)





Description: the first and most classic large Kenner sculpt of the Tyrant Lizard King, and the biggest dinosaur of the JPS1 toy line, measures some 60 centimetres in length and stands about 20 centimetres tall. Like the other large dinosaurs of this line it features “realistic” soft skin, but it’s less flexible this time: apart from its lower legs and arms the entire figure’s skin is composed of this material. Rex’s arms are the only poseable body parts. Red Rex lacks any dino damage wounds (who would wound him after all?), which might be due to the electronics. These consist of a biting action paired with a vicious roar, or stomping sounds. Pressing the left flank makes the jaws open and the creature roar, while placing the Rex’s legs down with minor force causes stomping noises.
This Rex features a predominantly brownish red paint job (hence the nickname Red Rex). This colour scheme can be found all over the body, except for the underside of the lower jaw and tail, belly and throat, which are all coloured light green. Also, the front part of the legs are painted dark brown, while the claws on its feet are black (unlike the claws on the fingers though). The skin is adorned with black spots on the creature’s back, upper jaw, neck, upper part of the tail and upper legs. The Rex sports small light green eyes with black pupils and tiny white irises in black eye sockets. The inside details of the mouth, including the tongue, are painted light brown, while its teeth are white. On its left leg the creature is marked with a large green JP logo with the number .09 next to it. Red Rex stands in a fully neutral pose, though the tail might be bent upwards or downwards due to the way this sculpt is packaged in its box: the tail can be bend in a normal posture though.

Analysis: a classic figure many people carry a nostalgic fondness for, the Red Rex is no doubt the most memorable big dinosaur sculpt of all. Up until the release of the TLWS1 line it would be the only huge dinosaur figure produced by Kenner and thus the only one that would really dominate the puny human figures and their feeble weaponry in the everlasting quest for dominance of Jurassic Park. It is a good sculpt with a damn fine paint job, but it is quite lacking in the playability department since it features very weak electronics that break down rather easily.
Though the system of pressing the button underneath the creature’s skin works fine and makes the jaws open with no difficulty, as well as releasing a horrifying (though not movie accurate) terror scream, the fragility of the system makes it hard to put them nasty jaws to good destructive use. It often happens the system breaks down after a while, causing infamous problems like a Rex that won’t stop roaring or jaws that don’t move any more. Unfortunately little can be done about this. The biting jaws are a nice attack action, but unless you’re very careful with the figure you won’t enjoy them for long. The way to activate the stomping sounds might also contribute to this. Making the creature stomp by putting it on a surface with enough force to activate the sounds doesn’t seem healthy for the inner systems either.
Apart from the fragile electronics and its sheer size, this figure hasn’t got anything to offer. This is a real shame, because it makes sense kids would want to go rough on their human figures and vehicles with a large Rex figure, causing mayhem and chaos as Rex did in the movie. The TLW line applied a more clever approach and delivered two large Rexes, one with electronics (in better condition than found in the Red Rex) and another poseable one without them for playing wild with.




Playability: minor, unfortunately. The feeble electronics won’t allow for much playability since they’ll break down easily, either destroying the sounds or the biting jaws (or both if you’re really unlucky). The moving jaws are a good option though, and a big improvement over the unimpressive biting jaws seen on this line’s Young T-Rex figure (though that sculpt didn’t mind being played roughly with). Red Rex’s jaws are big enough to trap humans or small dinosaur figures them between. Also, the two different sounds (roaring and stomping) do add some diversity. Though only the arms are really poseable, it can be said the tail is too because of its flexibility.

Realism: though it’s not movie accurate this sculpt resembles the Tyrannosaurus seen in the movie quite a lot, especially looking at the head sculpt. The paint job isn’t identical, but not far off; it’s also rather reminiscent of the paint jobs of both the Young T-Rex and Muldoon’s Rex hatchling, adding some consistency to the toy line. Unfortunately the roar is made up by Kenner and not as chilling or impressive as the roars heard in the film (something all JPS1 electronic figures suffered from). The stomping sounds quite good though.
As a side note, some advertisements as well as various card backs of other JPS1 figures displayed a large Rex sculpt which was completely movie accurate compared to this final Rex sculpt. This particular Rex figure was one of Stan Winston’s Rex models, used as a stand-in to show Kenner was developing a large roaring and biting Rex figure. This brilliant Rex sculpt was never intended to be the final big Tyrannosaurus action figure of the JPS1 line (at least, no proof of this exists).

Repaint: being part of the very first JP toy line this sculpt is not a repaint in any way. It would not be repainted for following toy lines either.

Overall rating: 7/10. Though sporting a classic and impressive design and paint job, the weak electronics and inaccurate roar take away from it somewhat. However, it’s well worth getting, also because it’s not hard to come by. It can be purchased at relatively low costs, even MIB if you’re lucky.


Jurassic Park Series 1: Young Tyrannosaurus Rex

(named Tyrannosaurus Rex Junior in European versions)

Year of release: 1993

Accessories:
-Removable Dino Damage wound patch
-Collector’s Card #1 (alternate card (#61) for 1994 re-release)





Description: the smallest of the two large Rex sculpts of the JPS1 toy line (but still about 25 centimetres in length), the Young T-Rex stands in a fully neutral posture. Unlike most smaller dinosaur figures it features “realistic” dinosaur skin (though there is no such thing of course, since we’ll never know for sure what dinosaur skin felt like), made of a more flexible and softer material than the regular hard plastic. The figure’s arms, lower legs and inside of the mouth are not composed of this rubbery material. On its right flank a piece of his skin can be removed, revealing a dino damage wound underneath, showing white ribs and red blood and muscle tissue. The wound patch itself is largely symmetrical in shape. The Rex’s small two fingered arms are the only moveable body parts. This sculpt’s action feature consists of its jaws, which can be opened by squeezing the creature’s neck.
The Young Tyrannosaurus Rex is largely painted in a light brown earthy colour tone with small darker brown stripes running over its back from the back of the head all the way to near the end of the tail, and additional dark brown spots found on the upper legs, feet and snout. Its belly and underside of the tail are coloured beige. The claws on its feet are also dark brown, but the small claws on the hands are not painted. Tiny yellow eyes with black irises and white pupils are embedded in dark brown eye sockets. The creature’s mouth is adorned with nasty white teeth, a dark pink tongue and additional dark pink mouth detailing. This Young Rex sports a large purplish JP logo with the number .06 on its right lower leg.

Analysis: one of the most fondly remembered carnivore figures of the first toy line comes in the shape of this Young Tyrannosaurus Rex. For many, including myself, this was the first JP figure we owned: such nostalgia combined with a great detailed figure with a neat (though slightly monochromatic) paint job and a fantastic dinosaur skin feel makes for an instant classic figure.
This figure comes with two action features. The first is the typical dino damage wound patch, which was found on most larger non electronic dinosaur figures of the first JP toy lines. Removing the Rex’s wound patch reveals a nasty wound, which makes one wonder what creature would dare attack a T-Rex. The wound looks gory, but the shape of the wound patch is too perfect and artificial: it looks like someone just cut an almost symmetrical hole in little Rex, instead of him suffering from a vicious attack by a rival carnivore.
The second option applied to this figure is a biting action. However, these biting jaws are a bit of a cheap action feature though, since it’s only because of the soft material the dinosaur’s skin is composed of that this biting action is produced. The larger Electronic T-Rex of this toy line also features moveable jaws, but in that figure’s case the designers actually put a system inside the sculpt so the jaws open by squeezing the belly, thus pressing a button underneath. That Rex’s skin is made of the same material though, so it can also open its jaws by just simply squeezing the neck. That would be too cheap for such a large expensive toy, but this Young T-Rex apparently needed no ‘real’ action feature. Squeezing the neck does open its jaws decently though, while it can also be used adequately to trap unfortunate figures’ body parts between them. It may not look very appealing, but at least it works.





Playability: decent enough. Though only the arms are really moveable, the flexible material allows for additional poseability to some extent (including the jaw motion). The dino damage wound patch is easily removable and can also be put back with little difficulty, but when applied to the figure it’s stuck strong enough so it doesn’t fall off on its own accord. Though usually the figure stands well balanced, more worn out Rexes occasionally have trouble standing up straight. A note of caution: because of the soft dinosaur skin this figure is more susceptible to paint wear, so if you want to keep it looking pristine you shouldn’t play too rough with it. Still, it’s the only bigger Rex feature of the first two lines that allows for wilder playing, since the large Red Rex with its fragile electronics is easily broken when getting all rowdy with it.

Realism: this figure is an interesting addition to the first toy line. Though no Young Rex was seen in the movie, a juvenile Rex much like this one played a minor role in Crichton’s original novel. This figure seems to be based off the book instead of the movie, though its paint job is not very different from the Rex seen in the film. The small two fingered arms make it distinguishable as a Tyrannosaurus or at least a close relative, but its head is somewhat oversized compared to the rest of its body.

Repaint: as a part of the very first JP toy line this figure is not a repaint. However, it’s one of the more frequently repainted larger dinosaurs produced by Kenner. It was first repainted for the JPS2 toy line in a very different dark colour scheme, and also featured capture gear. Later on, it was repainted as a TLW exclusive figure and included the same capture gear as its JPS2 predecessor. It was again repainted with the same capture gear for the first JP Dinosaurs line. A second JPD repaint, for the second JPD line, may have been planned but was eventually scrapped: details on this supposed repaint are still somewhat sketchy though.

Overall rating: 8/10. Featuring a decent paint job, detailed flexible skin and a dirty dino damage wound, this classic Rex figure is quite a blast. Though it comes with a bit of a lame action feature it’s well worth getting your hands on. Fortunately it’s not rare at all and can be found for good prices easily, even MIB.

Jurassic Park Series 1: Robert Muldoon


Year of release: 1993

Accessories:
-Firing Tranq Bazooka
-Two missiles
-Backpack
-Tyrannosaurus hatchling
-Collector’s Card # 2 (alternate card for 1994 re-release)




Description: Robert is a somewhat taller figure than the other JPS1 humans, more muscular and heavy. He stands in a neutral pose, though his left arm hangs a bit to the side, making him balanced when he’s holding his bazooka. He wears khaki pants and a beige shirt with a bright yellow vest over it. On the left front part of the vest he sports a blue tag with the JP logo on it. He also has brown boots, a brown belt and beige socks. Additionally, he has a black knife holster strapped to his right lower leg and a brown gun holster on a second brown belt around his waist (gun holster on the right upper leg). He has smooth, short brown hair and black (or very dark brown) eyes and eyebrows. He appears to be smiling in a cynical manner.
Muldoon comes with a large bazooka, basically a black tube with a small box at the end and a big one up front. On top of the gun near the front end there’s a large red button. When the bazooka is loaded with either one of the two red missiles it comes with, pressing the button makes the missile be fired with force, with a firing range of almost two metres and a good impact force. It’s one of the more effective and powerful weapons Kenner produced. Muldoon also features a black backpack with black straps so he can carry it on his back. The pack has two holes in it, one for either missile.
A Tyrannosaurus hatchling completes this set. It stands in a walking mode, with its left leg moved forward and its right leg posed back. Its tail is well in the air. It has a strange head, somewhat shark like, with rows of small white teeth. It’s mostly dark brown but for a thick black stripe running from the snout all the way to the end of the tail. It has black eyes, and a black JP logo on its left upper leg.

Analysis: plainly said: Muldoon kicks ass! His outfit is quite realistic for a game warden on a tropical island and he has a good paint job. The non removable knife and gun attached to the figure make him look particularly butch and are totally in character. Though he doesn’t look exactly like the Muldoon in the movie (the JPS2 version does a better job at that) he makes a fine dino tracker and park ranger.
The best part of this set comes from the formidable bazooka. It works very well and has a great firing range for such a small weapon. It easily knocks over hatchlings, human figures and most smaller dinosaurs and even bigger ones (it also depends on whether the targeted creatures are bipedal or not). It comes with two different missiles, so you have a choice, as well as a spare because with a range like this missiles tend to get lost. Both missiles can be stored in the backpack so you don’t have to let one of them lie loose when the other is loaded in the gun. Muldoon’s right arm is definitely designed with this weapon in mind. He can hold it with no trouble and his heavy stature keeps him from falling down. The only nuisance this gun has is that it was designed specifically for the Muldoon figure, making it incompatible with other figures, though it also fits Harpoon Harrison, which is probably the reason a repaint of that figure was paired with this weapon in the TLW Exclusive Young T-Rex set. This also explains the slight modifications made to the weapon for the TLWS2 Eddie Carr figure which featured a repainted bazooka, allowing more figures to be capable of carrying it. Besides this minor issue, the bazooka is one of the best weapons of all the toy lines.
Of lesser quality is the Rex hatchling. It’s paint job is okay, though a bit dull. Instead of cute like most other JPS1/2 hatchlings, it’s rather ugly. Its head looks weird, due to the design of the mouth and the arrangement of the teeth. Though it stands on its two legs only, it usually doesn’t fall down on its own accord. It does make quite a good target for Muldoon’s weapon, but is not very appealing otherwise.



Playability: quite high. Muldoon himself provides for the usual poseable arms, legs and head. His bazooka is one of the most effective and playable weapons of all human figures. It has a great range and good impact force, comes with two different missiles for variety and the backpack provides storage space for both of them, be it loose or on Muldoon’s back. The T-Rex baby does not have any poseability options.

Realism: Though Robert’s outfit isn’t too dissimilar in both colour and shape to what Muldoon (as performed by the late Bob Peck) wore in the film, it’s not entirely movie accurate, but certainly close enough. The figure’s head doesn’t resemble Bob at all though, which is true for all JPS1 figures. The bazooka wasn’t featured in the movie, though it’s probably the most realistic weapon of this toy line. Interestingly enough, Crichton’s original JP novel did incorporate a scene in which Muldoon uses a bazooka on a Rex, making this figure (either conscious or by chance) an intriguing reference to the book. The Rex looks a bit odd, especially his head, but still has the typical bipedal carnivore look, as well as colours similar to those of the other Rex figures of this line as well as to the Rex seen in the film.

Repaint: since this figure belongs to the first JP toy line, it’s obviously not repainted. However, the figure would be repainted for the JP Series 2 line, featuring a new head sculpt but the exact same set of accessories, though with a new hatchling (a Velociraptor). The Rex baby would not be repainted for later toy lines, unlike the bazooka. It was reused for the TLW exclusive Young Tyrannosaurus set, and got a makeover for the TLWS2 Eddie Carr figure, (featuring some minor improvements and a new paint job).

Overall rating: 8/10. This is probably the best human figure of the original JPS1 line, since it comes with a largely movie accurate figure and one of the best JP weapons ever. The hatchling is okay, but not the best part of this set. Fortunately this figure is not rare at all, and can be found at little cost, both MOC and loose.
