The big white Yeti is hiding in a small cave in the snow next to the small Tibetan shrine that also holds a secret. Beware of the two large clubs that the Yeti can use against you when he emerges from the cave. This set also includes 3 Johnny Thunder Orient Expedition game cards.

Appearance
The small Tibetan shrine is a very nice piece of work indeed. It looks very natural to me. It is too bad that the cave only has a front and not walls and roof. The cave is sprinkled transparent blue pieces that must be icicles. Miss Pippin Read is entirely new: new sherpa hat, new torso and even a new face! A nice assortment of hard to find pieces and the new hat make this set a nice buy.
 

The Yeti looks ok, but unfortunately only the arms moves. It must be made from seven parts: legs (shared with the Tygurah), a 2 x 2 Plate, two 1 x 2 Technic Beams, torso/head (different from the Tygurah) and two arms, like the ones used by Jabba the Hut in 4480. 

Playability
The shrine holds a secret: a gemstone (GreGou?) hidden in a "drawer" at the front. When you open the drawer, the Yeti comes out of the hidden cave, grab one of the two clubs and hunt poor Miss Read. Notable features: White 8 x 16 Baseplate and White triangular BURP. 

Availability
7412 will be available from January 2003.
