In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Thanks for the review. I so wish Geobra made these with the same "playability" as the elephants, lots of moving body parts.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Thanks for the review... I love this theme and will be buying lots of each set.
I too wished the mammoth had more articulation.

I know what you mean and I am likeminded.

However ... seeing my youngest son (aged 6) playing with it, I am not too sure. The Mammoths are quite large. With no articulation in the legs it's easier for him to put them down without them collapsing. Or he can swing them about just holding a leg or so. The fact that they are stiff makes them more easily to play with.

However, without all the articulation they are less interesting for us collectors...

I like to complicate my children's lives  :P IF they want to place it down I want them to work at setting all the legs "right" so he will pose in the desired position. I see it as working on their fine motor skills.

I just loooove this set ... I am really aching to get at least on other set! Perhaps two or three!
Would love to own a small herd.
