“Papo is a French company that makes high quality painted plastic 90mm toys sized perfectly for little hands and styled authentically for adult sensibilities.”
The high detail means the animals can work very well for minis of ‘dire animals’ sans spikey bits. Their Historic / Fantasy line is quite strong, with figs that could be used for huge giants, even mounted ones. Their 3 headed Cerberus is quite cool. Their dragons started out comic lardballs with tiny wings, round bellies and lopsided gouts of flame like giant tongues; though their most recent offering is really good.
38906 Papo Two Headed Dragon / Papo Drache, zweiköpfig / ???
The Body has a good solid draconic shape and a powerful barrel chest. The figure could honestly support more necks than it current has and could make a decent base fig for a Tiamat mini. The body’s colorations is a dark green scales with an occasional brown and typical pale underbelly. The fire breathing head has a purplish red to reddish brown coloration. The other head has a cooler blue tone, leading one to suspect that head might have a different type of breath weapon.
The right front and hind feet resting on the ground are 4 inches apart, thus making this a good fit for a gargantuan base [4”] with the tail overlapping the base unless a square was used instead of the typical round base. A CD would also make a great base.
I did not care for the flame, thankfully the breath piece is not that well glues in. A bit of paint on the mouth’s inside will be damaged by doing so, so a quit touch of paint could be useful there.
I have seen the Target and Gamer's Paradise chain stores carry these toy lines.
