Comment: Every castle must have a dragon to try and attack it, I bought this one for my daughters castle collection and it is so pretty that now it is the castle 'pet' I need to find her another scarier one for her knights to keep away. The dragon has a delicate look but is really very sturdy & well made. If you have a girl who is into the whole make belive castle type fantasy games this is a perfect dragon to give to her.
Summary: imaginative fantasy figure 2009-11-19
Comment: Beautiful vibrant colors. Power and emotion in the way it is posed as if moving and alive. For adults who like fantasy and mythology and for children who are imaginative and playful, going beyond say just T-rexes battling each other. Excellent. My favorite in the series.
Summary: Safari Dragon a half hearted effort 2008-10-03
Comment: The Safari Company makes the best dinosaur figures on the market. Their Wild Animals and Sea Creatures are superb as well. But the Sea Dragon along with several other mythical creatures has met a full market with a less than average figure.The toy is small compared to the dinosaurs.This was a sad mistake. The slightly transparent blue plastic is very good on this subject. But the over all sculpture lacks the life like imagination put into the dinosaurs.There are no destingtive facial or other features to make this stand out as a living animal,or to give it character.Its pose is stiff like a wood cut.There is no historical data on the tag. So the toy lacks any context or info to make it educational in any sence. To an adult collector,like me this is an intresting addition.But it is not the star of any display.
