Gargantuan Dragon Mini - Awesome 17+ inches long!

Pros

• Size: It's gargantuan. The mini measures 10.5 inches long but that's because its tail is curved round and its neck is bent. If it were stretched out, it would measure over 17 inches long. From snout to base of tail, it's over 8 inches long which, IIRC, is gargantuan according to the MM. The mini next to it is for scale; it's a plastic cleric by Games Workshop.
• Price: Only £15 (about US$27) including VAT.
• Quality: It's very well sculpted and fairly well cast out of resin.
• Painted: It's carefully painted by hand. It will take more paint if you want to change its colour.
• Functional: As well as being a mini, it's also a trinket box. So you can put dice etc inside.

• Base: The base is quite thick at 3/8 inch and patterned. It would have looked better with a thinner, plainer base.
• Wings: Although the mini is generally well sculpted, the wings seem implausibly small.
• Pose: It's quite a passive pose. I would have preferred it attacking. When I pop this baby on the gaming table, I don't want my players to just pass out - I want them to have heart attacks!
• Functional: Although you can't see it in the pic, there's a slight gap along the dragon's body where the lid of the trinket box meets the box itself.

The little pose problem you mentioned is actually easy to overcome - use it for metallic or gem dragons, ones that are (more) unlikely to attack. More likely to serve as NPCs.
