“Not everyone whose reviews I've seen online like this figure because of various alleged inaccuracies. I'm not a paleontologist specializing in the Cenozoic Period, so I can't confirm or refute the complaints. All I know is that I have several smaller models of Smilodon and they're all disappointments. What I love about the CollectA model is its size--which makes fine details possible. It's easily the best such figure I own and made for a terrific diorama.”
“Details a bit lacking, claws not painted. Since it is an older figure from CollectA, it is nowhere near as detailed as their current offerings. Still pretty cool figure.”
“This a really nice model! The paint is quite realistic and plausible, and the pose is great! Very detailed figure from the eyes to the paw pads. Only issue with eyes are they are not looking straight when viewed from the front which could make this proto-kitty look a little comical.”
“This figure is great with good quality. Collecta figure is still one of the best in the market. i recommend smilodon collector this figure before run out of stock.”
“Really like the great detail of the fur and texture of the skin on SMILODON. It has a great pose and realistic look about it too!
The markings on the SMILODONS coat are also very authentic and look very detailed.”
