26 pieces. Molded in a light green.
Being part of the '72 second wave, this has a little more detail.
Moderate interest as it is a nice kit, but the reissues are also complete. So from a building perspective, any issue will do.

A very good sized kit.
Mouth, head, legs and tail are moveable.

This is a nice sized model, about the size of a football. It also has some nice detail and skin texture to it.
This model shares many of the same parts as the Three Horned Dinosaur. The base is the same exept that this one gets a tree and a bush, where as the Three Horned gets a rock. They have the same body, hind legs, and tail. The head is slightly different. The horn is longer and point more straight upward. The jaw, while being the same size and shape has different teeth. The front legs have similar but not identical poses. They also have different skin textures. The only part with major differences is the part that goes around the head.
If you want to see a funny little story about how similar they actually are, see the "Three Horned Dinosaur" page.
The legs move, tail swivels, head, and jaw move up and down.

I did mine (which is the Monogram) in a sandy desert type setting with coloring to match on the dinosaur itself.

All the reissues come with all the original pieces.
