Thanks Jeff,seen those but really looking for a more dynamic pose,sure I've seen a pair chasing down some prey,bunched up legs and pivoting on front legs,of course at my age I could have imagined it,just like that incident with Beyonce  :)

You've probably thought of this already but Foundry might do one(?). Maybe Eureka, who do a lot of esoteric stuff?

Someone out there must do a dynamic model(?). I'd be interested to find out too  :)

Funny  you should mention Cheetahs! John Hanna of the Columbus Zoo USA.,mentioned though fast,it takes Cheetahs ten minutes to kill their prey,due to weak mandibles,by which time everyother animal has taken their prey away. He called them the (another  name for cat) sounds like wussys of Africa.

The North Star ones are the old HLBS ones.

The only other ones I can think of are:

Ral Partha had a Prehistoric cheetah which was quite big, however those figures are rather small these days so it's probably about right now ;)

100 Kingdoms have one in mid pounce

Immortal (now Warlord) have one on a lead

Someone does another prehistoric one, I thought it was DeeZee but I can't find it sorry.
Edit: Oxiana found it, it's the other DeeZee :)


The best one (imho) is the running one now sold by North Star.
So many projects..... so little time.......
