Rarity
Uncommon; as a CMF, it is a blind-box figure with a 1-in-12 distribution ratio per full case of 36.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with a smiling female expression, featuring a beauty mark and dual-sided winking face. Topped with a unique Olive Green Triceratops headpiece mold with tan horns.
Torso
Olive Green torso with front and back printing of reptilian scales and a yellowish-tan underbelly. Features olive green arms and hands matching the lizard suit.

Olive Green legs with front printing continuing the lizard belly pattern. Includes a specialized Olive Green tail attachment piece that fits between the torso and legs.
Accessories
Olive Green dinosaur headpiece (hood) with three tan horns and a frill; also includes a attachable dinosaur tail piece and a black 4x3 display stand.
Color Scheme
Primary color is Olive Green, with Tan accents for the horns and underbelly, and classic yellow for the facial skin tone.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with scale texture on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). Facial printing is crisp with dual expressions. The alignment is precise to ensure the belly line matches across pieces.
Variants
No direct variants of this specific character, though it follows in the lineage of previous dinosaur costume figures like the T-Rex Suit Fan (Series 13).
Condition Notes
Prone to scratches on the large dinosaur hood mold. The tail piece can occasionally causes a slight gap in the 'clutch' between torso and legs if not seated properly.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (New/Sealed or Verified); $4.00 - $6.00 USD (Used). Value is stable due to high demand for 'Costume' sub-collection fans.

Interesting Facts
The 'Data Matrix' code next to the barcode (scannable in the image) was a new addition for Series 25 that allowed collectors to identify the figure inside without opening the box, effectively ending 'blind' buying for informed fans.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF-specific shadow box or alongside other prehistoric-themed figures like the Series 24 T-Rex fan.
Modification Potential
The Olive Green tail and headpiece are highly sought after for creating custom reptile characters or fantasy monsters.
