Jays Brick Blog

“She comes with two accessories, a regular bone piece and a very cool exclusive fossil tile. It's printed and looks absolutely fantastic, being my favourite thing about the minifigure. The Paleontologist is pretty great minifigure, well designed and the very fact that she's... More female is great as it gives a lot of diversity to anyone's LEGO collection.”

The Brick Fan

“The Paleontolgist wears a tan outfit that you see typically people the profession wear. It’s actually a short sleeved one with scarf printing around the next. She also wears some tan shorts with tan boots. To match her outfit, the Paleontolgist also wears a tan safari hat... More with some brown hair on the back. Her accessories include a bone and a 1×1 round tile. The tile has printing of a fossil of what looks to be an ammonoidea.”
