Year Released
2024 (January 1st launch). This release coincided with LEGO transition from bags to cardboard boxes.
Rarity
Common (Standard pull rate in Series 25). However, identifying specific figures became harder due to the opaque box packaging.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with a smile; hidden under a green Triceratops headpiece mold with tan horns and white beak/frill highlights.
Torso
Dark green torso with scale-pattern printing on the front and back; bright green belly segment with textured line details.
Legs
Dark green legs with bright green scale printing on the front and printed toes in tan/sand color.
Accessories
Includes a black 4x3 display stand and a green spiked dinosaur tail attachment that fits between the torso and legs.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic dark green and bright green primary theme with tan/off-white accents on the horns and toes.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with scale textures on torso, hips, and legs. Features significant 360-degree color matching on the tail accessory.
Variants
No official LEGO variants, though third-party custom head swaps are common.
Condition Notes
Mint condition expected as it is in a sealed box. Once opened, watch for 'neck crack' stress on the tail piece attachment point.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (New/Opened). Sealed boxes carry the same value as the retail MSRP unless verified via QR code.
Price (New)
$4.99 USD per individual blind box.

Character Background
Part of the long-standing 'Costume Suit Collectible' tradition, this character is a fan of paleontology and prehistoric life.
Design Notes
The Triceratops headpiece is a unique mold introduced for this series, continuing the dinosaur-suit sub-line (joining T-Rex and Dino-Suit Guy).
Similar Minifigures
T-Rex Costume Fan (Series 24), Dino-Suit Guy (Series 5), Dragon Suit Guy (Series 18).
Collectibility
High demand for 'Suit' collectors. Stable value as it is a core staple of the CMF line.
History
Follows the evolution of specialized costume molds that began in 2011. This specific box features a scannable Data Matrix code for identification.
Interesting Facts
The '605S6' code and the large Data Matrix on this specific box (shown in image) allow collectors to use apps to identify the figure without opening it.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other prehistoric-themed figures or in a 'Museum' MOC inside a glass case.
Modification Potential
The tail and headpiece are highly sought after for MOCs involving reptilian monsters or lizard-folk characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-quality entry in Series 25. While not the most rare in the set (like the Goat Herder), it is a visual standout for dinosaur fans.
