Twisted Land of Oz McFarlane Monsters The Lion Series 2 - Action Figure - Loose

McFarlane Monsters Series 2 – Twisted Land of Oz – The Lion

Take a journey down a very different Yellow Brick Road with The Lion from McFarlane Toys' unforgettable McFarlane's Monsters Series 2: Twisted Land of Oz collection. Released in 2003, Twisted Land of Oz transformed the familiar characters from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz into dark, grotesque and highly detailed creations in classic McFarlane Toys style. The traditional Cowardly Lion becomes a fearsome battle-scarred beast featuring exposed wounds, vicious teeth, armour and extraordinary sculpted detailing. More than two decades after its original release, The Lion remains an impressive example of McFarlane's early-2000s horror and fantasy figure design.
