Great Northern Griffon

I don't usually get overly excited for new Chima sets... okay, I never get excited for new Chima sets... however, when I saw that one of the legend beasts was going to be a lion (obviously) I started to see some possibilities. Plus, I was able to recently get my hands on a few of the eagle Creator set from last year. Needless to say, I have been itching to build a griffon. Especially after I built the eagle, and was blown away by his articulation and detail.

 

So, here is the final result. The love child of two official LEGO sets, my imagination, and a sprinkling of spare parts from my bins.

 

I'm really pleased with how this guy turned out, and I definitely plan to buy more Chima legend beasts soon so that I can craft some more Galacian beasts.

 

*** The Great Northern Griffon is the largest of all the griffon breeds in Galacia. This particular griffon hails from the snow-capped peaks of Norderan. Known for being semi-sentient and having particularly wicked tempers, only a select few dwarves have tamed this large species of griffon as a war beast.
