025 Dakota

Dakota is the TDD explorer.

The defining feature of the G1 figure is his pith hat.

The G2 figure has the pith hat, some nifty arms, and a pair of binoculars in his right hand.

His G3 figure was a totally new design.  Now he was given a cowboy's hat (or a bush hat), a monocle, and a burly mustache.  They basically gave him the likeness of Theodore Roosevelt.  This was the 26th president of the US from 1901-1909.  He was also a well-known explorer and hunter.  Teddy Roosevelt even built a ranch in the badlands of North Dakota.

They gave this version of Dakota a real accessory -- a little plastic net.

Dakota has a zood named Hogan.  He is a little crocodile.  The name comes from Australian actor Paul Hogan who played the main character in the 1986 comedy Crocodile Dundee.
