It's a few years old...I think it was only a TRU/Target exclusive.

Isn't it a pretty old set? ???

yes but a certain place that is rumored to be closing down or changing owners has a ton of these older sets left over...  :crossed:

Thank you tim but twhat's the difference between 2nd and 3rd?  ???


The third - in the photo with the white one - is hard plastic like an old style horse, not soft rubbery the way the newer ones are. To tell at a glance look at the dorsal (top) fin, it has more of a curl on the hard plastic version.

I often wonder about the soft versus hard plastic's used. It must be a safety standard issue. I know I would hate to step on a hard dorsal fin that was erect. Any newer item that has a sharp point is now made out of soft material
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Great tim Thanx! I did notice the dorsal but I just thought that as they were rubbery the curl was just an accident from being crash down by some other playmo  :lol:

I've noticed that too, with flamingos, etc, all soft plastic and i wonder if that would be a problem when it comes to re-releasing the wildebeest?
