| 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.

| | So is the Dire Lion a reprint? Because the Dragon Eye Dire Lion has the exact same name. | |

| 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).

| 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.

| | Did they actually do a resculpt of the Dire Lion and simply call it Dire Lion? I am quite surprised if that is the case. | |

| No, this Large Black Dragon actually looks like it has a bit of paint on the underbelly, so it couldn't be as bad a paint job as the chasme and certainly not as bad as the Sorcerer on Black Dragon paint job.....THAT dragon litterally had no paint on it.
Of all the things to make another sculpt of, and they choose Dire Lions? Go figure...

| The Dire Lion looks cool but like others have mentioned I don't understand why they felt a resculpt was necessary. I don't see rarity mentioned anywhere - any chance that this is an uncommon?

| Sweet!Â
The Black Dragon was already known abd looks great.Â
The Blood Golem of Hextor is awsome. I hope is stats do it justice andthat he's not overcosted.Â
The Dire Lion - meh. Sculpt looks nice, but I have one already and don't need more Rares like him.Â
Oh well.Â
Thanks for the pics / scans.Â

| Blood golem of hextor : Cool, another iron golem proxy. Time to test new textures though (wood, clay, glass...)
Black dragon : we knew it. Cool.
Dire lion : looks good, but totally useless if it's not uncommon, as there is already a rare one in dragoneye. AND I hope it's not too large... (size creep rant coming soon again) | |

May be a tad early, but Best set ever is followed up by worst set ever.
Would love to know how many people the setlist had to actually get approved by and how that possibly happened. | |

| I'll take a few new Dire Lions (esp. if they end up being uncommon). They look more "dire-ish" with the more prominent bony protrusions as compared to the DE Dire Lions. I can use my DE Dire Lions as normal lions to differentiate
A Robot? Danger Will Robinson, Danger! Blood War marked the first time I didn't bother completing a set (Chasme? wtf?) and Unhallowed is looking like I'll be expanding on that by a number of figures, this one included.
Large Black Dragon still looks good despite a somewhat goofy pose. It'll fit nicely between my medium black dragons and my huge black dragons | |
