Mammuthus


Arsinoitherium


Paleoparadoxia


Smilodon


Megaloceros


Megatherium


Glyptodon


Diatryma (Gastornis)
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Aaaand there's just one I want: the Diatryma.

For me, the Paleoparadoxia alone makes this set worth it.
The sculpts on the rest of the figures look a bit awkward though.

Shonisaurus

To me the two figures that I like most about this set are megaloceros and megatherium. Colorata is a company like almost all renowned Asians focused on making figures of a scientific nature.

this is a must have for me, the megaloceros and paleoparadoxia are unexpected. Ive never even heard of paleoparadoxia! *off to google!*

Faelrin

Wow looks like a really nice set. I really like the choice of creatures (and glad to see Megaloceros here. Not too many figures of it currently sadly).

Is this just me or do the details and paint jobs on most of those mammals look a lot less impressive than those of their dinosaurs?
Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark
All the dinosaurs are running wild
Someone let T. Rex out of his pen
I'm afraid those things'll harm me
'Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend
Oh no

I wouldn't mind a few of these for my Synoptic Collection but if that is a standard Colorata box, then they are all too small for me

I don't have any of their dinosaurs, but the style looks classic Colorata to me!

They typically vary in size. The smallest are similar in size to the smaller Safari toob figures, though they typically have an additional base. On average they are slightly larger than the largest Safari toob minis though.

The last photo in my review of the Paleozoic set includes a Lego minifigure for scale: http://dinotoyblog.com/2018/02/21/paleozoic-creatures-by-colorata/

I don't plan to buy the Cenozoic set, but I think they might be slightly smaller, because there are 8 figures rather than 6. Also, I think only the Diatryma will come with a base.
