Honestly, this is a perfect con exclusive to me. It's a variant, but not one that is necessary to the main line. It's packaged as if it's the action figure you would get in universe, which is great. They even left off the window flap to make it look old school. I see people complaining about there being "So many variants" but I can't think of a better con exclusive for Dinosaurs to have.
You hit the nail on the head. This is what a con exclusive should be. Not necessary to complete the main line if you don't want to, but just an added bonus that also fits the convention feel.
I LOVE this! Perfect example of what I believe an exclusive should be. A niche figure that doesn’t need to be in every collection. Glad I snagged him on the PO. Great review! 🤙
