Takara Tomy Ania Cheetah Walkaround

I really wish Takara didn't feel the need to put a ball swivel on their animals' necks, but other than that I think this is a nice figure. Always cool to find a cheetah with a different pose and expression than the norm.

Lovely figure, but i am not familiar with the moveable part

The pose reminds me the beautiful Bayala cheetah. I enjoy the lean style, only the thick tail contrasts to it.

Ania/TOMY/Takara are quite original in what they do and often have nice sculpts. I am not convinced that children appreciate the moving parts, I feel that they use it more to contrast themselves with other brands.

Very nice! I had not seen this one; what a great pose. Thank you for sharing.

The head is on a ball (a bit like a mount on a camera tripod) so it can be faced in different directions. I never really like it when they do that, because it's hard to conceal and doesn't add enough range of motion to be worth it, in my opinion.

Yes, I always like it when I can find a cheetah that isn't just running or standing still.

Yes, I really enjoy a lot of their figures. It's funny, because as a kid I always remember liking the static toys better. More moving parts just mean more things that can break or get lost. When I was little, I had a Jurassic Park raptor figure who lost his bottom jaw.
