Special Features
Interlocking peg holes for modular connectivity; textured rock molding; removable gnarled tree accessory.
Notable Variations
This specific color scheme (yellow base, grey skull, maroon walls) is specific to the mid-2010s Mattel reissue style rather than the original green/black vintage 1982 aesthetic.
