Blue highlights indicate the various options of the Glider Pack: a large blue button for unfolding the wings, a smaller button for launching the missile, two clamps for attaching the figure to the pack and two additional clamps at the bottom for holding the wings together when they’re not folded out. The figure can hold on to the glider via two extendable frames, one which can be clamped around its waist and one which it can grab with its hands. The wings are basically black cloth held together by a dark grey plastic frame attached to the Pack itself, which is also painted dark grey with light green highlights on top. The Glider Pack can be folded in to look like a large backpack, but pressing the large blue button on top makes the wings fold out, in which case the glider measures a good 20 centimetres across. There are two variations of this figure, like with the regular TLWS1 Ian Malcolm figure: Ian’s hair is either smooth or curly, but in both cases black. The suit has a yellow JP: Site B patch on the left shoulder. From the shoulders down to the upper legs the suit is covered with blue and green straps, giving Ian a typical hang glider pilot look, though I don’t know much about aviation so I might be mistaken here.
