Lioness? Mysterious moulded animal

Recommended Posts

I have one of the minifigure-scale moulded leopards (pictured below) and wanted to get another one on the secondary market. So I ordered one from a reputable seller and got what looks like a minifigure-scale lioness, not a leopard. It's the same mould, but a different colour and doesn't have the same printing. Its face printing consists of blue eyes, a pink nose and a white muzzle. It has no body print. Also, it is dark tan, not tan like the leopard. It's definitely LEGO, not a clone or bootleg: it has the LEGO mark moulded inside the recess of the studs on its back and a printed code inside its front right paw just like the leopard's.

I haven't been able to find a lioness in any of the sets, so I'm wondering what I have. I quite like it so will probably hang onto it. But can anyone shed light on this mysterious beast?

Could you post a picture, please? 

As fas I can remember there is a mountain lion/puma somewhere in the 2018 sets

My camera is really rubbish. This is the best I could do:

It looks sort of tan in my picture, but that's a trick of the light. In real life, it's dark tan.

Yes, I think there's a mountain lion in the 2018 mountain police theme... maybe someone got some early parts from those upcoming sets?

Yep, you've got a 2018 Mountain Lion there from next year's City Police sets, that's pretty cool! :oh:

Check #legoleak on Instagram, dig a little and you'll see what I'm talking about. :wink:

It is most likely the upcoming mountain lion/puma/cougar!

Nice one, what did you pay if I may ask :sweet:

it's nice to know it seems to be dark tan. They've really milked this big cat mould already! Bodes well i think...
