"A Recommended BrickScore of 79.8 captures the Lion Legend Beast accurately: a strong parts set with best-in-class articulation, a well-designed Laval minifigure, and good value at $9.99, partially offset by a face design that one reviewer found a poor match to the official animated model."
The Lion Legend Beast drew mostly positive marks from both expert reviewers, with Brickset scoring it 88 and JANG giving it 72, both praising the articulation, new parts density, and the Laval minifigure while disagreeing on whether the face design succeeds. Brickset ranked it second among all five Legend Beasts for parts usefulness, while JANG was upfront that the face does not match the official cartoon model and set that as a caveat on an otherwise good build. Owner ratings across 6 reviews average 4.64 out of 5, with 86% recommending the set.
Where they split: Brickset (88) and JANG (72) agreed on the quality of the articulation and parts but diverged on the face design. JANG stated directly that the face does not match what has been officially shown for the Lion Legend Beast and that this was a genuine disappointment, while Brickset found the printed tile face adequate and focused on the parts positives. The owner lean toward 4.64/5 suggests most buyers side with Brickset's more forgiving view.

"This one here in particular, obviously, a lion. And I'll just be honest with you right right from the start, not too happy about the face compared to what we've already seen for the official face for a Lion Legend beast."

Owners praise the articulated lion beast and Laval minifigure as excellent, with smooth building and quality new pieces, though some find excessive articulation and stickers slightly underwhelming for the price.
