St. Georges and the cheap dragon (pic!)

[Turanil]

I got this pre-painted dragon mini for only 5.6 euros (approximately 6 $)...

It's just that's not really a mini available at the LGS. It's a children's plastic toy that I found at the local medieval castle's souvenirs store. For those who visit Paris (France), get a look at the Chateau de Vincennes; it's worth the look and visit, especially for a fantasy gamer. You will find the "dragon mini" in the souvenirs' shop. Otherwise, it could be availbale in some toys stores.

The same line of 'toys' include a green dragon with fire coming from the mouth (same price as the blue above), and a two-headed dragon with flames coming from one of the mouths (much more for this one, $20 US where I saw it). I bought the blue one as well.

I found them in a school (homeschool) supply store. They look nice, although I only bought the blue. I would probably want to cut off the flames from the others but I was a little limited for funds on that particular day, so I did not even get the others.

My huge red dragon can beat up your (sky) blue dragon

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.

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.
