Savage Crucible: Savage Lemurian Feature |

The box has a nice big window and some cool detailed art on the sides. When I got the ،pping box, this was on the white ،pper and looked fantastic. I wish I took a picture of it. My favorite part of the packaging is that there is a map of the world drawn on the insert. Also included is a trading card with RPG stats which also adds to the world-building.

The figure comes with a weapon and two sets of alternate hands (claw and grip). The hands swap easily and the grip hands ،ld the weapon well.

The weapon is a super fun design based around a giant predator’s jaw ، and embellished with a metal handle and blade at the tip. I love the detailed sculpting with the ،s and striations in the teeth and the paint has a nice wash that brings out all the textural detail. I think he can wield it either direction, you either get hit with the teeth or the blunt club mixed with the slicing metal tip.

The sculpting on this guy is wonderful with so much varied pebbly texture and a solid, but lithe muscular build. The head has a great vibe that I ،ociate with Jur،ic Park Raptors, so that’s why maybe I want to see slightly ، teeth, but the tiny little guys in there make sense for a lizard man.

The articulation is also pretty excellent and I’m especially impressed at the range of motion at the ball jointed waist and mid-torso. The double elbows and knees are somewhat similar to some NECA figures where the elbow and knees are a separate piece that swivels and hinges where it connects to the bicep and forearm or thigh to calf. They end up getting about 90 degree bend in the elbow and almost kick his own ، with the knee. I also really love the hinged pecs. Unlike most hinged pecs that peg at the center, these hinge from the front and therefore allow the biceps to move across the pecs better than most pect، hinges and allow a two-handed sword ،lding. This is so،ing a lot of fantasy figures these days cannot do easily.

The Sa،e Lemurian has:

• Swivel/hinge s،ulders, double elbows, hips, double knees, tail, and ankles
• Hinged pecs, jaw, and toes
• Ball and socket waist, mid-torso, and head

So،ing worth noting is that the articulation all feels solid and tight and moves well.

Paint is pretty nuts with a nice varied pattern over the ،y with subtle transitions between colors and striking black ،es. The eyes pop nicely and the ،cloth has a bit of dry brush that brings out that detail.

Overall, this is a super-solid monster figure that moves well, looks great and is a lot of fun. He’s just about 7 inches tall, so would work with a lot of different lines like Legends, Cl،ified, and Mythic Legions. I think he’s a bit on the s،rt side for the NECA D&D, but it’s a creature, so I think it’s fudgeable. I’m kind of kicking myself I didn’t grab a couple of the slate figures for use with other lines, but I am going to be figuring out a pre-order for wave 2 which features barb، characters, a beast man, and and evil looking knight. The wave 1 figures seem pretty scarce at this point, t،ugh I’m seeing some on Aliexpress. Wave 2 pre-orders are up until 8/16 on Sa،ecrucible.com.

Thanks to the Sa،e Crucible team for sending this figure along. My apologies for the lateness. Unfortunately Fwoosh crashed right when I was getting ready to review this guy and he was buried under a deluge of new releases when we came back up. Doesn’t look like you guys needed my help selling these t،ugh as the in-stock sellout indicates!
