The Collecta Smilodon has the best "texture / hair "of any similar sized smilodon toy available.
What really sets this figure out from the rest is the hair texture. Don't get us wrong, the overall features on the Collecta Smilodon are awesome. But the hair texture on this figure really elevates it. All of the other figures are relatively smooth - this hair texture really elevates this figure. We love the face and teeth on the CollectA Smilodon. Overall this is a great figure.
The model showcases the cat's robust body, powerful limbs, and iconic saber-like teeth.
The CollectA Smilodon measures: 5" L x 3" T.
Retired / no longer carried by CollectA U.S.A. - Limited to stock on hand.

The name Smilodon is derived from "two edged knife" and "tooth". The Smilodon "big" teeth were around 11 inches long. The Smilodon lived approximately 2.5 million to 10,000 years ago and ranged throughout North and South America. Depending on the species, the Smilodon ranged from 120 - 950 lbs. The Smilodon primarily hunted large mammals (like buffalo). Their large teeth were fragile however and could not bite into bone without the risk of breaking.
The Smilodon is also known as the "saber tooth tiger" and is one of the most recognizable and well-known prehistoric animals. Ironically, the "Sabertooth" isn't really related to the tiger, but rather is related to the cat family (Felinae). Thus to call the Smilodon a "Sabertooth Tiger" is to miss-name the Smilodon.
