And now for the final piece in this 3 of 4 part posting……presenting Ancient Animal #4 Stegosaurus.

The original Snarl came from Takara's Diaclone Dinosaur Robo series. When Hasbro imported the toy for the Transformers line, the Diaclone driver mini-figure was dropped and the robot
mode's black torso was turned to a more team-matching red (thus the Snarl we know today).

Some side-by-side comparisons (of the box sides that is).

Though not necessarily as rare compared to some of the other Ancient Animals that is by no means a reason not to appreciate it.

not too shabby. I really like the black on this and the diaclone,
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryce,
ReplyDeleteI agree. The black is pretty sharp looking but if I had my choice I would probably favor having the red color instead....it just seems to stand out more.
Very cool! My nephew wants a stegosaurus Transformer for his birthday, and I stumbled upon this entry. I had this stegosaurus as a kid. Nice trip down memory lane.
