[Help with identifying Monster Beetle!]

Thank you both for your responses! Very happy to hear it could be the original. Could you recommend a battery? It's the only missing piece to get this thing running (fingers crossed).

[Help with identifying Monster Beetle!]

Hi,

I've just acquired this Monster Beetle and have been trying to identify whether it is the original version or the 2015 re-run. 

Also, if anyone could help me with what battery I'll need to get this this running I would be greatly appreciative (and any other tips!) - this is my first Monster Beetle.

Thanks in advance!
