As someone who's really picky about scale (my Godzilla collecting and Transformers Masterpiece), they addressed the smilodon in their FAQ on the pledge site. They actually gave 2 reasons, practical and in-universe.

Practical was so the 1/18 human would look more complimentary. I interpret it to mean the human won't make a 1/18 smilodon look small, which in turn would make that particular item look small and unimpressive vs. the other offerings. In universe explanation was that as these are genetically engineered, the creature was upsized to fit their needs. I find both reasons satisfying. Probably going for the dinosaurs only though, if I back the project.

Creative Beasts figures are impressive. I have several 1/6 scale raptors, as well as 1/18 scale trike, styracosaur, tyrannosaur, raptors, and protoceratops. As someone who played with every dinosaur toy he could find as a kid… complete first two waves of Dinoriders, all the Little Tykes dinosaur figures, and the first two or three waves of the original Jp toyline (last one I bought was the red and black Carnotaurus) I can with full confidence say that these are the best dinosaur toys you’ll ever come across. They are amazing. Literally my only complaint is how lon it takes to go from concept to a toy in hand. While no different from other concepts I’ve seen over the years, these are just more painful wait than others due to my love of dinosaurs for 45 years. These have a dinosaur only option, but if that is your deal, take a look at the beasts of the Mesozoic versions of these. They tend to be more colorful.
