Rex is surprised to see you. It's been a while since GCN animal crossing games, after all. Looks like his lazy nature's been supplementin his weight pretty well over the years, too...
EDIT: and yes I'm happy that he returns to the series as of the amiibo updated games! heck yea!

Teddy may be my favorite Animal Crossing Character in the current games, but Rex will always be in my heart as my overall favorite. Somethin's adorable about a big ol' lazy lion and I just love his design.
