It was - in fact - so successful that a lot of figurines have resulted, and from time to time we've seen them coming-in in mixed lots with me muttering vaguely "Might be Kinder, probably Phidal, to big for . . .material is like . . . " &etc.; so it's nice to get a complete Phidal set, to start ID'ing them all more accurately! Goodies, baddies and some morally ambiguous types! With reference to what I said in the previous post, you can see the play-mat here is just four crappy stills form the movie artwork/backdrops, and of little use to ought but a child, which is not a criticism per se, these sets are very cheap and the - relatively high-quality - figures are all the money, so that fact they mostly have basic text on the five-or-so stiff card pages and a naff play-mat is, rather, par for the course! Close-ups of the various characters, scale is - I think - all over the place, but figures is figures, and with Kinder and other capsule toys and other set (there's a nine-piece set with the queen from Disney themselves - some of which we may have seen in those odd-lots), you can always mix and match!
He was genuinely intrigued by the tiger!
