Rarity
Uncommon. This figure is exclusive to a single high-priced set (70839), though the set was widely distributed during the movie's theatrical run.
Head
Unique white raptor-style head mold with pinkish-purple glowing eyes, silver/grey snout detailing, and a specialized printing inside the 'mouth' area representing a technological or biological swirl.
Torso
White torso with intricate cybernetic printing. Features a teal/light blue glowing reactor core, black rib-like plating, and dark grey mechanical detailing. The arms are white with black hands.
Legs
White legs with black hip joint. Printing includes mechanical knee joints, grey line work detailing, and three black claw markings on each foot to represent dinosaur talons.
Accessories
Includes a white tail piece (dinosaur tail) that attaches between the torso and legs. This specific figure does not typically come with handheld weapons.
Color Scheme
Primary: White. Accents: Teal (glowing core), Pink/Purple (eyes), Black (mechanical parts/claws), and Metallic Silver/Grey.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the head, torso, and legs. Includes arm printing which is a premium feature for LEGO Movie 2 figures, showing additional mechanic tech on the shoulders.
Variants
This is the 'Dino-Man' version. It is distinct from the larger brick-built raptors and the standard Rex Dangervest minifigures. There are no direct color variants of this specific mold/print combo.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check the neck joint for stress marks and ensures the tail piece hasn't caused cracking in the torso base over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD. New/Mint: $20 - $25 USD. Values fluctuate based on the popularity of The LEGO Movie 2 secondary market.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 70839 The Rexcelsior!, which retailed for $149.99 USD.

Character Background
Part of Rex Dangervest's crew of Raptor-men and dinosaurs. Rex is a version of Emmet from a dark future who has 'tamed' dinosaurs and outfitted them with cybernetic enhancements.
Design Notes
Uses a unique method of turning a raptor head into a 'mask' or headpiece for a humanoid figure, bridging the gap between a standard minifigure and a creature.
Similar Minifigures
TLM137 Rex Dangervest, and various raptor figures from the Jurassic World theme (though those are larger scale).
Collectibility
High for fans of The LEGO Movie 2 completionists. Moderately desirable for Sci-Fi or Dino enthusiasts due to the unique 'cyber-dino' aesthetic.
History
Debuted in the final wave of sets for The LEGO Movie 2 in 2019. It represented the peak of the 'Space' aesthetic mixed with dinosaur motifs for that product line.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the chest is designed to look like a miniaturized version of the Rexcelsior ship's power core. The eyes are one of the few instances of this specific pink/magenta hue used for a 'menacing' look.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Rex Dangervest inside the Rexcelsior set or on a dark blue/black baseplate to make the white and teal colors pop. UV protection is recommended.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Space Dinosaur' MOCs. The head and tail can be used with different torso/leg combos to create a whole army of different colored cybernetic raptors.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and unique figure that stands out due to its cross-category appeal (Sci-Fi and Dinosaurs). While not the most expensive figure, its exclusivity to the largest set in its theme makes it a solid mid-range collector's item.
