Why are we all assuming mammoths are large? The largest mammoth species was the size of a liger, with the wooly mammoth being the same size as a modern elephant.

because on their minifig form, mungus has the largest size compared with other tribe, so we're expecting his ultrabuild form does too.

Here a mammoth and a sabre tooth together. You can guess the size yourself, but the "cat" is big:

Point taken. I'm pretty sure Saber's were smaller than modern-day big cats, anyway (which would make Laval being smaller than Fangar another issue). Still, is that a Columbian mammoth or a woolly one?

[Front]

^{I'm not sure which species it is, but I can try and check my original picture and see if I can spot the scientific name on the display. Just checked some sites, and it should be The woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius}

I totally forgot about the cape! Whilst I prefer proper looking capes to tattered ones, it looks pretty cool anyway. I hope it's easier to attach than Furno's. Another cool piece is the new armour add on, too bad it's only on gold so far.

Unfortunately I don't care for the other parts. I strongly dislike tr reddish/neon orange and brown.

I love tr light blue, the amount of it we're getting is absolutely crazy. Not sure on what I could with the hands, though..

As for LoC replacing HF, I disagree. The new parts they introduce are no less compatible with HF than last year's parts were. The pieces used in 2012's Super Heroes have been used in HF lots of times, same goes for the parts on the 2013 Chima figures: just think about the fur piece reused by Frost Beast and his jagged blade.

Queen Beast is using the new armour add on on her abdomen, and I definitely expect the torso with the chest orb to be reused on a HF villain (those orbs are Zamor- that means that the available colours are endless!).

So I wouldn't worry, these sets don't certainly spell HF's demise.

:lol: With Furno last year and Fangar this year. Its nice that there's now a tattered and clean option that are recent. Now I just wish Lego would do more colors than just black. Don't get me wrong, black capes are very versatile, but a white one would be nice, or maybe red and blue. Ya know, color options.

Which part that's on queen beast are you referring to?

^^^ This. And because A, Mungus is a Big Fig in Minifig form, B His name is Mungus Hu-mungus which has already been explained on this thread. C because popular conception of mammoths are that they're really freakin big, even though they're not really all that big. And D, relative to other animals, like a crocodile or a lion...even modern elephants are huge.

The piece used as shoulder armor on Cragger is used on the Queen Beast's back.

Is there a back view of that? The photo I saw was on that cool toy review site and its more straight ahead where you can't see her back. I also saw the first image of her from the Nuremberg toyfair but it wasn't that detailed. Are there other images out there?

Oh... Very nice. Thank you. =D Is this the official box art? Has the other's been released?

[Leewan]

Yup. bacem has all of them in his brickshelf gallery.

SUWEEET! Thank you. And thanks to Bacem as well. =D *stares intently at each wave 2 photo*

[PenPlays]

And the final product is excellent!

[Shakar]

So Mungus's mace halves aren't tr. light blue, what's the colour then? It's too light to be tr. medium blue, but too bluish to be tr clear..

[Mesonak]

Dat wing flapping feature though. Very nice.

Sets are looking good; eagerly awaiting getting my hands on some of these.

I think it's the lighting that's throwing you off. They definitely appear to be pure transclearent. (guess which youtuber came up w/ that word)

[DOTM Shockwave]

They look much better in the video.

Emgo, him and his crazyness + Mascot's stupidity.

[bacem]

soo the flapping function is actually using flex tube, and flapping up and down, instead of back and forth. interesting.

[Bfahome]

Honestly that function looks pretty terrible. :|

I'm more interested in the new Zamorchest pieces. They seem interesting.

[Timeline15]

All looking pretty good. I didn't realise Fangar and Fluminox had a function to their backs. I absolutely love the new shoulder armour. Just wish it cam in more colours than just gold though (and a yellow one in HF). I did chuckle when the guy said that Panthar was a special character "because he has printing on his head".

Panthar still confuses me actually. He doesn't have the trans colours that would indicate a faction, so what's he doing here?

I'm gong to have too get at least one of these guys. I got the first Cragger a couple of weeks ago. He is highly enjoyable.

the new armor will probably came on more colors later next year. this is still their first appearance after all.

Be even more confused. Panthar does not have an accompanying minifigure at the moment.

Panthar is definitely one of the first I'll be getting. Probably after Fangar, but we'll have to see...

Queen Beast has golden pieces, so I'm very sure that's also golden

Darn, I think using the same semi-trans blue that was used for the raven's saw would work better. Emgo is awesome btw.

Way to save money. Too bad it's gold, kinda boring actually(though fitting for the good fire tribes).
