127 Hunter

Hunter is writer Hunter S. Thompson.

Thompson was a popular author and journalist who died in February 2005. 

This figure came out sometime that same year. 

His most famous book is the 1971 novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  In 1988, this novel was adapted into a hit motion picture.  The main character -- a fictionalized version of Hunter himself -- was played by Johnny Depp.

Hunter has a zood which is a little T-Rex wearing a dealer's visor.  His name is Gonze

In the movie, the travel partner of the main character is Dr. Gonzo.  There is a scene is the movie where Hunter is high on LSD and he envisions all the patrons of a casino as human-like reptiles or dinosaurs.  Although there is no creature specifically wearing a dealer's visor, we can bet that the zood is still derived from this LSD trip where people are seen as giant reptiles that wear human clothes and hump each other in the casino.
