There are some really nice features on this toy, and some cool & unique bricks come with this set, particularly the ice block for trapping Gorzan. It is also a chance to get Sir Fangar without buying his limited edition fortress set which is sold for approx. twice as much as this one, and can only be purchased through the company itself, or through a well known huge toy chain. Unfortunately, the overall appearance of the Saber-Tooth Walker left me feeling a bit flat. Notwithstanding the large teeth, it just doesn't look much like a Saber-Tooth - I thought the earlier Chima sets were much more animal-like.
I would avoid this set at full price - wait for a sale. If you want a caped Fangar and fire suit Gorzan, you may want to consider the Ice Fortress instead of this. Not completely recommended at full price, but if you value minifigs and parts well over asethetics and playability, go for it.
The overall poise of the Walker is great - it's suitably menacing, with powerful shoulders and lithe hind limbs. For such an impressive silhouette, the biggest disappointment is the meagre tail, which almost seems an afterthought. A long swishy tail curling up and over the back would have given balance and interest to the rear half of the Walker. The eyes are also understated (Blue [BL]/Bright Blue [TLG] 1x1 round plates); a good trans colour would have added more menace. The jaws are very well done, using a mix of tooth sizes to great effect.
