Great review, Tiermann! Thanks for all of the great pictures and detailed information about this cool set!
The thing I dislike about the set the most is that the larger tree is not molded to fit the root piece. Both have been used before and the tree was made for directly on a landscape plate not to fit on top of that root piece. It looks awkward and wrong to me, the one part of the set really that just doesn't work.
That is weird. It still looks a great set though.
These pins are a standard size. That means you can use them to fill any hole that is designed to fit a typical small plant stem.
Is that the same size as the pin on most of the flame pieces, such as the ones used with torches or staves?
The shields in the Ayuma sets is a new mold, different from the old castle small shields. This set has the only black example so far. The bat heraldry is a sticker.
Interesting! I was not expecting that. How does it differ? Looking on Animobil, it looks like it might just be a bit narrower.
There are a surprising number of unique colorations in this set. This seems to be true of many Ayuma sets. Using a unique color palette really helps the theme a lot I think. The sets feel dark and magical in mood and really work for a deep forest setting as is portrayed in the video series.
I agree! While not the best for matching other parts, the sets really do look nice with these colours.
Hmm is my avatar Tiermann the Dinosaur my spirit animal??
Definitely.
