The set, and the other Designer sets that came out with it (especially 4888) are incredibly well designed sets. I wish Lego would go back to doing sets like these as I loved the multitude of instructions and ideas. The last batch of Creator sets had zero ideas, even though I know several were made. Anyway, less whining, more review.
The lion is the main model. His mouth doesn't fully close, but it does open more. The head works well from most angles. I love the dark orange bricks; great for rust...
He is quite solid, but the joints take the weight well. The neck goes side to side and rotates, but doesn't go up and down. The body is built in two parts and pinned in the middle.
With what is left you can make what I think is a hyena, a silly plant MOC...
...and what I believe is a vulture.
There are also instructions for a few other models including a bat, boar and a snake...
...which I quite like. He can be built at the same time as...
...this cute little lizard. Overall this is a great set with an excellent blend of colours and pieces. I wanted it for steampunk potentials.
Our Sin is to reject bloated software!
