Pteranodon Strike Attack Everything we know so far about the Primal Ambush Pteranodon — the 2018 Legacy Collection figure flies again

It is listed as a repack of the 2018 Legacy Collection Pteranodon, right down to the original product code. No pictures of the new release have appeared yet, so this page gathers what is confirmed so far alongside the story of the real animal.

▲ What We Know So Far
This one is a re-release rather than a new figure. The Primal Ambush Strike Attack Pteranodon is listed as a repack of the 2018 Legacy Collection Pteranodon and keeps that figure’s original product code, FLN67. A repack normally means the same sculpt and the same paint in new packaging, so if you own the 2018 figure you already know what to expect. It joins the new Berberosaurus, Eustreptospondylus and Utahceratops in the first wave. No images of the Primal Ambush release have appeared yet, and we will update this page as soon as they do.
🔬 Why This Species Is Worth Knowing
Pteranodon is the best-known flying reptile of all, and one of the best-studied. More than a thousand specimens have been collected, mostly from the chalk of Kansas, which was the floor of a shallow sea in the Late Cretaceous. That huge sample shows two clear size classes: large animals with long, backward-sweeping crests, thought to be males, and smaller ones with short crests, thought to be females. And despite what the films show, its name means “toothless wing”. The real animal had a smooth, pointed beak with no teeth at all.
Features & Articulation
✓ Strike Attack assortment✓ Product code FLN67✓ Repack of the 2018 Legacy Collection figure? Any changes — to be confirmed
Strike Attack is the action-feature assortment in Primal Ambush. As a repack, this Pteranodon should have the same features and articulation as the 2018 Legacy Collection release. We have not been able to confirm that nothing has changed, so we will check the new figure against the original, joint by joint, and add the results here.
Size & Specs
Pteranodon ships in the first wave of Strike Attack alongside Berberosaurus, Eustreptospondylus and Utahceratops. We will add the wingspan and body length, measured from the new release, once we have it in hand.
Early Verdict — One to Watch?
That depends on your collection. If you missed the 2018 Legacy Collection Pteranodon, which has been off shelves for years, this is a straightforward way to pick it up at retail. If you already have it, there is no sign yet of anything new beyond the packaging. Either way it is the one familiar face in a wave otherwise made up of brand new species. This is not a review, and we will confirm exactly what is in the box once we have the figure.

About the Pteranodon
Pteranodon was a large pterosaur from the Late Cretaceous of North America, living roughly 86 to 84 million years ago. Its fossils come mainly from the Niobrara Chalk of Kansas, with others from neighbouring states. It was named in 1876 by the American palaeontologist Othniel Charles Marsh, and was the first pterosaur found outside Europe.
Large males had wingspans of up to about seven metres, far wider than any living bird, while females averaged closer to four metres. The body was small and light, the skull was longer than the body, and the bony crest at the back of the head varied in shape with age and sex. Pteranodon soared over the Western Interior Seaway, the sea that then split North America in two, and fed mainly on fish.
Pteranodon was a flying reptile, not a dinosaur, although the two groups were close relatives. It has appeared throughout the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films, where it is shown with teeth, grasping feet and a much more aggressive nature than the fossils suggest.
