• Taxxon/Alien (Deluxe)

One of the last Animorphs toys, the Taxxon transforms from an alien centipede-thing into a bipedal alien.

Although it was planned, this toy was never released in the United States. Because its planned release would have been near the end of the line, this led to a popular perception that it was never released at all.
