It is worth mentioning that the ferns from the Wetlands Pack correspond well with this set too. It is about 6 inches/15.2 cm long by 4 inches/10 cm wide. Aside from the base from the Wetlands set, it may be the most detailed of the bases from these Environment Accessory Packs. The large base is sculpted to resemble a prehistoric forest floor, with moss, fallen leaves, and cycad cones scattered about on it. The log also features a peg that the Microraptor can stand on, but mine unfortunately broke shortly after attempting to use it when I first received it. Both the tree and the log feature some finely sculpted details, and have been painted with a bit of a hint of green, as if they were covered in moss. Like the tree in the Mountains Environment Accessory Pack, it is not in scale with anything else from the Beasts of the Mesozoic Raptor Series, and is 10.5 inches/26.6 cm tall. It is packaged together in a box featuring artwork by Jonathan Kuo on the front, and the insert features an environment shot of a forest. The Forest Environment Accessory Pack includes an Araucaria tree, a dead cycad log, an intricately detailed large base, a small base, and, much like the other sets, numerous posing rods, clips, and pegs, as well as an egg nest (in pale green), with a black hatchling that corresponds to the Black Nestlings. The figure measures about 7 inches/17.8 cm long by 3 inches/7.6 cm tall, and is in 1/6 scale. The figure has several points of articulation at the jaw, neck, limbs, and tail, which is made of a bendable rubber material. It also sports the unique tail feather arrangement, which consists of two long feathers at the very tip. This Microraptor has been reconstructed pretty faithfully, sporting the famous four wings (with primary feathers attached to the second digit on the hands), and is covered in various iridescent blue, black, and purple paints. The same formation also includes numerous other feathered theropods (including early birds), such as Confuciusornis, pterosaurs like Guidraco, other dinosaurs like Psittacosaurus, and various mammals and fish. It lived in what is now the Jiufotang Formation from Liaoning, China, and lived during what was the Aptian stage of the Early Creataceous period. Microraptor is now well understood, with dozens of well-preserved fossil specimens showing it to have had four wings and iridescent black plumage (due to the preserved melanosomes), as well a unique tail feather arrangement. The subject of this review will be the Beasts of the Mesozoic Forest Environment Accessory Pack with Microraptor.
