Wizard's red dragon

[pawsplay]

The red is huge, expensive, and something you'll rarely use, it's sub-par, and as a mini, overpriced.

Really, the only they would make sense would be if you could rent them or something.

I saw the red dragon in the store yesterday. I think the difference between a colossal mini and a regular size mini that someone made a big version of is in the detail. If you want me to think like a person of 25mm size when I see the mini, it's got to have detail that's discernable at that scale - not just a giant red object. I already have a wine bottle holder in the shape of a dragon that's almost the same size and level of detail.

In fact, I can create some "super colossal" miniatures by using those blow-up pool toys. "You see a turtle the size of a castle with a big smile on his face heading towards you, roll for initiative."

Not that rarely, since you can use it for other colossal critters, too. We have been using the thing frequently, for a colossal snake-make-that-centipede (DM thought centipede means Schlange, and when we corrected that misapprehension, the thing changed shape for our characters' very eyes ), for really big spiders, for the Big T, for a cleric that used miracle to copy the giant size spell and turned into a 72' Dwarf......)

And at least around here, the price has dropped dramatically. At first, they cost €55 upwards, and now you can get them for €25.

Really, the only they would make sense would be if you could rent them or something.

Rent-a-Mini. I wonder if that would work.

it looks like the sculptor was keen to have it fit on the base, not to look cool fitting on the base. Nice wings, though.

well doesn't that show that its too big for the base? Other quadropeds fit ok on their base.

If they wanted to cram it into the base i think a nice sleeping dragon with one eye open would be a better pose. perhaps curled around a pile of gold?

Just got the Mcfarlane fossil dragon from the Spencers at the Schaumberg Woodfield mall. There were still a few left.

Unfortunately, the Dracolich is pretty small - I wanted something to use as Dragotha in AoW.

Good news, The flame mane can be removed fairly easily by prying the glue points at the shoulder, then carefully prying off the 3rd glue point at the base of the head, wich is also the last neck spike. He is about the right size for colossal, though maybe a smidge closer to gargantuan given the habit of wotc to have some minis practically the next size class. His base is bigger than 6" x 6" though. Here is a scale reference.

So, does anyone have any links as to where one could pick up a Red fairly cheaply? The price tag was the biggest hurdle for me in picking one up.

Hmmm, in regards to the red - feel an urge to quote Olive Oyl.

It may sound funny, but it's not.
I am thankful for what I got
Though it may not seem a lot
At least it's large....

I doubt that I would ever spend the amount of money for a figure like that.

Now some of the Reaper dragons, and the MacFarlane dragons on the other hand....

I have some cool reaper dragons the big problem is I am still moving around quite a bit (I have not landed a permanent job) and I don't really know how to move those things. They are a bit fragile. Any ideas?
