| | 09 Feb 2007 03:21 PM | | Why a Dire Lion and not a Dire Tiger? We already have a Dire Lion and the Dire Tiger is the only (non-aquatic) dire animal left in the MM. Sometimes I really wonder what they're thinking.

| | 09 Feb 2007 03:23 PM | | So is the Dire Lion a reprint? Because the Dragon Eye Dire Lion has the exact same name. | | | | |

| | 09 Feb 2007 03:43 PM | | This whole Dire Lion thing is really bothering me.
1. They reprint the Lion when the Tiger is an obvious choice.
2. The thing looks to be jumping off its base with significant overhang.
3. It looks like a Rare when we really need dire animals as Uncommons (and they seemed to understand that).

| | 09 Feb 2007 03:57 PM | | Another Dire Lion, ok. Was hoping for a normal (medium) Lion to be honest. Have got two of the DE-version. This one looks to be of an uncommon instead of rare quality though.
The construct looks better as mini than in Art-form. should be LE right? Hope it's rare. looks ok, but won't want more than one.

Of all the things to make another sculpt of, and they choose Dire Lions? Go figure...
