Rarity
Common; however, finding specific figures became harder due to the transition from foil bags to cardboard boxes, making 'feeling' the bag impossible.
Head
Double-sided classic yellow head with a friendly smile on one side and a shocked/surprised expression on the other. It features a dark tan Triceratops headpiece with white horns.
Torso
Dark tan dinosaur costume design with a light tan underbelly print. Includes printing on the back of the torso continuing the scaly texture.
Legs
Matched dark tan with light tan 'toes' printed on the feet and scaly texture on the front of the legs.
Accessories
Includes a removable dark tan dinosaur tail element and a black 4x3 display stand. No handheld weapons or tools are included.
Color Scheme
Primary dark tan with light tan accents and white dinosaur horns.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs (front). The design captures the 'costume' aesthetic with visible zippers or seam lines.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants for this specific figure as of Series 25.

Similar Minifigures
T-Rex Costume Fan (Series 24), Triceratops (Dino/Jurassic World themes), Dragon Suit Guy (Series 18).
Collectibility
Moderate. Dinosaur costume figures are highly popular for 'zoo' or 'museum' MOCs, but high production numbers keep prices stable.
History
Follows the success of the T-Rex fan from the previous year, expanding the prehistoric costume sub-collection within the CMF line.
Interesting Facts
The box in the photo contains a Data Matrix code (QR-like) which allowed collectors to use scanning apps to identify the figure inside without opening the box.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Series 24 T-Rex Fan or in a Natural History Museum MOC relative to the 10326 Modular Museum.
Modification Potential
The headpiece and tail are excellent for creating custom 'Dino-Human' hybrid characters or prehistoric mascots.
Overall Assessment
A charming and well-executed addition to the 'costume fan' series. The unique mold for the headpiece makes it a standout for the price point.
