My Lion King Forum

found a more in depth video showing toys even though the guy has no idea what hes talking about most of the time

first 3 and a bit minutes is toy fair footage

Thanks for the video!

i'm really excited about the family set at 2:35. Even though Nala's eyes are crosseyed and Kiara's eyes look like theyre facing different directions. Kion and Kiara's poses are cute, and more adult Nalas are always welcome.

And i'm kinda upset about the set at 2:55, bc it has toys i already bought with a few extras that i dont want to spend $50 or whatever to get. I want to buy all the lion guard toys but it's hard when theyre packaged together in ways that make that impossible without blowing a ton of money and ending up with lots of doubles.

Also, it looks like Tiifu's missing her signature spots! And while i'm so greatful to get Tiifu and Kovu toys at all, their poses look stiff. The sitting Fuli is the best pose in the bunch!

here is my advice that works for me, Each blind bag has a different number on the back, aslo, it helps to really feel the blind bag and make out the shape based on the picture on the back, its hard to do but its worth it once you are confident, know its the character you want, works for me

@gothprincesskiara

....what does that have to do with anything i said? I've never had problems getting the blind bag I want?

The Family set with Kiara, Nala, Simba, and Rafiki is at Toys R Us! There was only one left at my store, and it's mine now! Someone that works on Disney Main Street told me they got them there too, but they sold out fast.

If you want my opinion, I think Simba's face looks off-model, his snout is too flat and his nose is the wrong color/shape, and his eyes are the wrong shape. He has like cat-eye eyeliner? But his mane and body overall look very nice.

Nala's cross eyes don't really bother me like I thought they would when I saw the toy fair video. They look fine. Although mine came with a blemish on her nose, I think that she and Kiara are the best parts of this set.

Kion's cute but his neck looks like it has a growth?

For the most part, I like the colors that were used.

Also, Kiara and Kion are a little big to scale with Simba and Nala.

One thing that I really like about this set is their tails. I like that they're independent of the bodies, and I like the poses and length of them. The blind bag figures tails were always a bit short, but that's not the case here. Kiara's tail is especially cute all coiled up.

thanks for the photos! i'll need to get these if they become available here.

im Glad they are the same sizes as mattel figures had a thought they were gonna be blind bag size. Kiaras colours look very SP and i love it! they look articular too, do they move a bit?

they don't move, and they are bigger than the mattel figuers. Simba and Nala's size can pass with them, but the cubs can't. And Kiara's coloring is still a bit dark in person but it doesn't look bad at all, she looks much more like herself than the blind bag kiara. One thing I noticed about the paint is that it's less shiny and more matte on these figues vs the mattel and blind bag ones.

I also grabbed the last family figurine set from my local Toys R Us recently. here they are in their packaging, if anyone's interested ~
