Pterodactyl Costume Fan
When the wings come up, the whole idea clicks into place: a prehistory fan has climbed into a pterodactyl suit and is plainly delighted with himself.

About this minifigure
The second costume in Series 27 plays a completely different note from the hamster. That one was about sweetness; this one is about a childhood obsession with prehistory โ dinosaurs, flying reptiles and everything else that died out and still beats every other toy on the shelf, generation after generation.
In a household going through its dinosaur phase he can outrank everything else in the box, because the wings do exactly what you would hope in play. Take care when hunting, though: plenty of people file the pterodactyl and the hamster under the same name, the one in the costume, so the box code decides the matter faster than any description.
Collectors have one more reason to chase him. Costume minifigures are among the longest-running and most avidly completed lines in the history of the series, and a prehistoric subject comes round exceptionally rarely.
Did you know: The pterodactyl was not a dinosaur โ it belonged to the pterosaurs, a separate group of flying reptiles, and the first specimen was described as long ago as 1784.
