Boulder. (Likely destroyed or broken due to being made of Styrofoam, a material known to break easily).
Large-Scale Season 5 Duncan Model (Likely lost at some point between 1998 and 2000 along with his original angry face as all his other faces were reused on the second, more accurate large scale model but not the angry face, it's also confirmed the old model was not used as reference for building the new one with the small scale being the reference for building the model instead, as well as that no parts were reused for the new model and if they had the model on hand they would of reused some parts to save cost, the likelihood is the model got lost and they needed to make a new one during production of Series 6 but also decided to make it more accurate to the original at the same time ).
