The Tyrannosaurs Rex also know as the T-Rex, is a LEGO Animal minifigure dinosaur, usually made of multiple parts. Since the first T-Rex was released in 1997 in DUPLO, various incarnations and versions of the T-Rex have been released since.
Duplo Tyrannosaurus Rex
Duplo T-Rex Version 1
The first T-Rex figures appeared in 1997 in the preschool targeted DUPLO line. The figure was part of DUPLO's new Dino theme, and was only one single piece with no movable parts. The original DUPLO T-Rexs only came in red, and in two sizes: an adult T-Rex, and a baby T-Rex.
In 1999, blue coloured baby DUPLO T-Rexs were made available in the sets 2803 Dinosaur Babies and 2821 Dinosaurs Fun Forest.
A green colored Duplo T-Rex was produced in 2002 for the set 3615 Theater Stories.
Duplo T-Rex Version 2
2008 saw the reintroduction of Duplo's Dino theme, but with a new Duplo T-Rex figure which was more articulated, with movable parts. The new DUPLO T-Rex was produced in dark red and green.
LEGO Systems Tyrannosaurs Rex
Lego Systems T-Rex Version 1, Dino Island
2000 came the release of the Adventurers sub-theme Dino Island, which featured the first T-Rex minifigure made specifically for LEGO Systems sets. The figure consisted of five movable parts, including arms originally used for the Dragon minifigure. A new head, tail, and body piece were made specifically for the new theme. The figure would only be produced in green, and would go on to be used in the Studios theme.
Lego Systems T-Rex Version 2, Dinosaurs, Jurassic Park 3, and Spinosaurs
In 2001, LEGO released it's Dinosaurs line, which consisted of new dinosaur figures made of new interchangeable movable parts which could be mixed and matched to create different species of dinosaurs. The set 6720 Tyrannosaurus featured a new incarnation of the T-Rex utilizing brand new parts, as well as the same head and arm pieces from the previous T-Rex minifigure, as well as Part 6027 as it's tongue. The figure also came with a fin piece which could be connected to it's back to make it resemble a Spinosaurus. The new T-Rex was much bigger than it's predecessor and was coloured sand blue instead of green.
In 2003 the same T-Rex figure would be utilized again in the Jurassic Park 3 set 1371 Spinosaurus Attack, but as a Spinosaurus, with a fin attached to it's back. The figure was colored dark gray instead of sand blue.
Lego Systems T-Rex Version 3, Dino Attack
With the released of the Dino Attack theme in 2005, came yet another brand new version of the T-Rex. The new figure was made of all new parts and came in only black with two different versions: one with a green underbelly, and one with a red underbelly.
T-Rex Story in Dino Attack: T-Rex is the King of the Mutant Dinosaurs, having several abilities. These include laser vision, plasma breathing, mouth radiation/heat, and the ability to bite through steel. If not formidable enough, the T-Rex also is extremely strong; a single sweep of its tail can knock a building over.
The Dino Attack T-Rex was released in 2005 in the T-1 Typhoon and Iron Predator sets. The "green" T-Rex was released in the Iron Predator set and is thought to be female. The "red" Tyrannosaurus was released in the T-1 Typhoon set, along with a Pteranodon and is Thought to be male.
