i got this on ebay and tried searching every which way i can think of (google fu weak) to find out what it is from. i saw one more image in very poor condition w/ a polar bear that has similar "action" feature. i checked and the seller i got this from had the bear too so maybe they came as a set. i tried animal planet, wild discovery, chap mei, ice age etc. only markings are china on one inner leg and a few single digit "mold #'s" like 2 iirc.

shown w/destro and a mojo sabertooth for scale. over all it is very cartoony and not cool so i'll either chop it up or let the kiddos beat on it, then chop it up :)

i searched ice age toys and didn't see this figure. there looked to be a female saber cat that was close, but her figures (static and stuffed) were not.

No markings at all?

Did you check McDonald's toy's for Ice Age? It sure looks like a Happy Meal toy.

just the ones mentioned dj. i know it's odd. it took 2 times to find china, which i think is required by a law if it is.

i'll google fastfood sabertooth tiger, mcd specifically, and report back.

Very interesting!
Haven't been able to find it online yet. I tried using the term "Smilodon".

The Diego toy from Ice Age does show similarities. This one comes close, but it's not the one: http://ronsrescuedtreasures.com/Ice-Age ... 74701.aspx

Personally i thought it looked like a variant or knock off of Shira from Ice Age.

Most images that i've seen of that character in animated form look fairly close.

I've looked around online and keep coming up empty handed.

I'm wondering if it's a sun-faded decoloring rather than actually white and purple?

Definitely looks like the ice age style, but I too have had no luck finding a character with that coloring.

Can't seem to find the same sculpt/action feature, either.

But my bets are either a discolored kids meal toy or bootleg.

it doesn't seem to be faded at all. the paint is the nicest part of it!

this is interesting. from world of warcraft.

i wonder if there was a game, like rock 'em sock 'em but with the sabertooth and polar bear.
