LEGO Simbas REVIEW 

I have to say, if I wanted to buy a model simba I'd much rather buy a small version that i can display on my desk rather than a version that needs a dedicated shelf. Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing and the techniques seem cool, but I can't see myself displaying the entire thing. That being said, I'm not much of a lion king fan. Maybe a fan of the animated movie would clear a shelf like I did for the saturn V and space shuttle.

But how does the big Simba compare to the Tuxedo Cat?

I'm sure the adult lego is more fun to build but honestly the kids simba looks better to me, the adult one has too many exposed studs and is kinda uncanny valley with some of the details

Should've made Mufasa as the 18+ model to be in scale with the Simba

We need to recreate mufasas death in LEGO if the sets come

I want an aristocats set. I loved that movie as a kid. A set of the jazz piano scene would be great.

Small one is cute and enough ❤

Obsessed with them both 🦁

Displaying a beheaded samba is now possible finally!!!!

What a great way to celebrate the movie's 30th anniversary!

Tuxedo Cat staring Simba down in the background makes me laugh, like he's jealous of the attention Simba is getting! 😅

Once again, you are changing my mind about a set. I thought the big Simba would not be so interesting. But now it seens to be. Although, the fact you can just display it in one way (except for the head) still makes me doubting about buying it. At the other side: you can change cat not very much more and I wanted that set more. But now you make me doubting. Choices have to be made.

Tiago petting Tuxedo and now Simba is very endearing. 😄 You're a cat person, aren't you? 😸

Well, I'm super excited that they don't only have one, but TWO simbas

I prefer the smaller Simba. More posability. And much cheaper

Love the purple croissant piece for a big, fleshy grub

I would prefer timon and pumba as the ucs set. They are far more recognizable then the young simba in my opinion

I wouldn't mind a LEGO Buzz Lightyear or Nemo. Even Monster's Inc. I might check out the big Simba model, as Lion King was my childhood.

The big Simba statue is much more "lifelike" and smooth in the build in comparison to the cat and Stitch.

Looking at the head connection, it seems like they could have used a longer rod to support the joint.

i build the big one, and i must say i'm kind of disappointing , a lot of special pieces, strange building techniques, they could have improved playability, rotating eyes, moving paw, more head rotation, moving jaw, ---- a lot of brick colors for the inner body, I would have preferred, one color for the inner body and one or two color for the other shell of the body . on the positive side the numbered bags are a great way to make the build easy, finished it look quite nice

Forgot to comment this earlier but that bush piece in brown, used as the tip of Simba's tail here, first showed up in that color in the Rocket Raccoon mech set.

Circle of life rr cutie sets great review 👍

I would’ve thought the right choice for the bigger set wouldn’t have been to have done simply a bigger young Simba, but an Adult Simba? Or Even a Mufasa? That would’ve encouraged adult collectors to get both sets?

So conclusion are they worth it for display purposes?

Will you do the summer Ninjago sets?

The big issue on the adult set, I have is that tail sticks out so far backwards without any movement and cannot sit on a shelf without wasting a lot of space behind it, or to to the side if you choose to display it that way, which looks not as good. . It would be better if the tail wrapped along the ground forward for a relaxed sitting pose and would thus be more compact. It looks nice, though.

I like the same concept at different price points release. I know online its mostly adults but i think alot of us forget that lego is a toy not just a collectible. Kids are going to love playing with the little one and adults will love putting the big one on a display shelf. Its win win.

love all your vidoes by the way

As someone who is 18+, articulation is still pretty important. I like the smaller one better I think.

I ordered both sets, I’m a huge lion king fan so had to, my bf ordered both as well and is still in doubt of the cat.

Pretty great set, especially building experience and npu The head falling off easily is a big problem Maybe adult Simba would have been better

We should get koda from BB in this style

Have you ever done a video on how to become a lego designer? I know you've talked about it in other videos, but have you ever done a full video on it?

I like the 6+ one more 😗

Thank you for the review Tiago! I will most likely get the 18+ Simba. I’m an adult now and I really like the accuracy of it. The tiny one for kids doesn’t look as accurate to the big one

Small Simba must look hilarious if you swap his eyes

TIAGO! We need to know your thoughts on the zelda set/theme even if its not out to review yet i think it would be an interesting topic

I'm sure many of us 40 year-olds will love to build and display this set! Iconic movie from our childhood and still holds up for our kids today!

2 big LEGO cats coming out on June 1st, which is Saturday. Or should i say Caturday?

How many bags does it have?

Wow

whens the review for the zelda set coming

Me pedí ese pack del simba nuevo en Amazon y pone que me llega mañana pero qpcteo que viene pasado

I need Archimedes from the sword in the stone

I mean, yeah it's a great set, but how many people want to spend their money because they specifically want a Simba on their shelf? I like the Lion King, but I can't honestly say at any time in the last 30 years I've ever thought "boy, I'd really love a Lego set where I can build a character from it, at an age they were only at for a few minutes in the movie." Maybe it's just me but I've always felt weird building organic things out of Lego; I'd rather build things than living creatures out of them.

Can you do a rewiew to lego Zelda?

Tiago would have earned a MILLION times points if he'd started this video calling out "NANS INGOYAMAAA BAGIIIITHI BABA!!!"

The size difference is hilarious

It's nice but, I wish they added pieces that cover the areas that have the lego stubs to make it seem more smooth.

I think the designer has done a fantastic job creating adult Simba

nice

If Stich is/was a sucess then this one is going to be a bigger and massive one

3:17 you what they say curiosity killed the cat

The big Simba looks like the Lego cat but with an open mouth and the color orange lol

Imagine paying more for less movable build... I personaly think 18+ should have been Mufasa or Adul Simba even. And at least have movable front legs

When are you reviewing Lego legend of Zelda deKu tree

I find the smaller model looks more like simba

Give me the Tuxedo Cat all day long over this one.

here before i buy some tiger tank

Hakuna Matata

i prefer the cat, more basic, but almost perfect

if the nose wasn't so weird I'd be into it but the nose is weird

SIMBA

Hii

How does simba compair to lego cat?

Give it a week or so and people will have solutions for articulation and poseability.

The small one is way better

Don’t rotate Simbas head 360 degrees multiple times

First comment! Seriously, not my kind of Lego build but a nice review as ever

I don't get it why the big one has the studs exposed. I also don't like the whiskers. This one looks weird to me

Dont like the big one

i really do not like the 18+ set being so limited with posses and the neck being so thin, he look like one of those cartoon jokes where someone grab them by the neck and squeses really hard

first

Wow 70 views in 2 minutes. Bro fell off

Like this tweet to support skibity tolit

big one looks horrible lol, if someone wants a big Simba why not just get a plush

.... did they put a chick in it?

I Cannot Support Anything Disney Because Disney Is WOKE…

LEGO really running out of ideas

I think the smaller one is cuter.
