It’s weird, but I can shed light on it… having seen smilodon fossils in real life from LaBrea tar pits, I can say with 100% certainty that the smilodon here is 1/12 scale when used with 1/12 scale figures. However, as a 1/18 scale riding mount, Creative Beasts took liberties and upsized it, since a smilodon is actually slightly smaller than a Siberian tiger. Kinda like their 1/6 scale raptors were the size of large dogs compared to Hot Toys figures, but were Jurassic Park scaled figures for the short lived Amber Collection line.

As for no gear for the dragon… well, they are doing a huge amount of lore for the line. Dragons are indigenous to a new planet, and the only way to compete is cloning dinosaurs with tech upgrades. Seems to be the gist of it.

For me, however… I’m out. They look ok, but I’m not big on the color schemes, nor the lack of herbivores. I’ve actually started collecting the Mattel Hammond collection to supplement my BOM dinosaurs coz the 2 year time frame kills me. The BOM T-Rex is amazing. Can’t recommend it enough. I just wish the focus could have remained purely dinosaurs. If they wanted to expand, they should have had two teams develop a wave at staggered intervals so we had new figures every fall. Anyway… I wish the company the best.
