The miniature itself is amazing and the eagle is pretty good, too. But the fire (?) effect on the sword really doesn't work - prehaps it's more convincing in real life? Also, the cutaway base is a cute idea but... there's nothing to see! It's just roots. If you're going to do something like this, then there needs to be a point to it - skeletons crawling up through the mud; hidden treasure; dinosaur remains, whatever.
