5102 Smilodon with hunters

[Luis]

great review

too bad about the size - i understand they cannot be very big (the cats) but SMALLER than a lion/tiger?!

i thought the fig in the skirt was a woman

It's definitely a man, looking at how low the top of the garment dips on one side.

A little bit bigger would have been nice, I agree. Teeth are bigger though....much bigger in fact

I CAN NOT wait. Love them...

It's a shame the cats' mouth doesn't close... And I never imagined they'd be smaller..

Thanks for the review!

Thanks for posting this. It looks like a great set. I am really looking forward to the whole series.

Some species of smilodons were quite small, as little as 150-200 pounds. So being smaller than a lion or tiger isn't too bad. Of course there were other species that were huge, and that would have been cool. Honestly, I'm not wild about the color they chose for them. It's a little bright.

they might have been thinking 'Ice Age'? that was a popular movie

i think the current lions skin tone is kind of flashy too, no? originally their color was a little more realistic imo

I love the set except for the lions mouth. I'm sure there must be a good explanation for the designers making that decision, but sorry, IMHO it was a stupid decision
