Notes
[edit]- "Spike Tail" was the name of a Stegosaurus figure from Kenner's 1997 Jurassic Park: The Lost World toyline [1]. The trademark was subsequently registered by Hasbro as "Spike-Tail", which they still owned in 2000/2001. As such, it's possible that, if he had been released, Spiketail's name would have been rendered with a dash.
