Story time: The laundromat my wife and I routinely use has several of those little vending machines that dispense tiny toys in plastic bubbles. One of those machines was filled with little plastic dragons, and every time we did our laundry I would drop four bits into the machine and get myself a dragon as a reward for helping with the laundry. The staff at the laundromat thought it was pretty cute, I guess, that this old geezer would buy himself a tiny dragon every time he came in - after all. I am in my seventies - but, as I said, who doesn't love a little dragon?I gradually built myself a collection of a whole herd of dragons that sat keeping watch over our dining room from their bookshelf. Then one day we paid a visit to the laundromat and much to my dismay the dragon machine was gone! In its place was another machine coughing up some useless little chunk of molded plastic. I was crestfallen. Still, every time we return I check to see if whoever it is that stocks the machines has seen the error of their ways and has reverted to offering dragons. They have not.This year we were planning gifts for the family and were told that our grand-niece is deeply into the Wings of Fire fantasy novels by Tui T. Sutherland and was looking forward to the release of the 15th novel in the series, The Flames of Hope. Consider it done we told her mother, and odered the book for Christmas.We upped the ante a bit, opting for a hardbound, bookplate-signed edition for her. When it arrived we found it came complete with a set of cards and some stickers featuring various dragons from the novel - Rainwing, Sandwing, Seawing, Nightwing, Mudwing and Icewing. As I sat down to wrap the present, I thought it would also be neat to include a half-dozen of my little dragon army that came close to matching the aforementioned dragons from the novels. So I went to the shelf where the dragon batallion stood watch over our silverware...only to find that all but two of them had gone AWOL!My wife said that she must have moved them somewhere, but she couldn't recall where (a likely story!). We looked high and low but were unable to locate the rest of my mini-dragon army.It was then that I thought of checking on Amazon to see if I could find some suitable dragons and stumbled upon these little beasties. So I ordered them, of course.They turned out to be perfect. Exactly the same size as the remaining pair from my collection, and I was able to find a dragon to reasonably match the appearance of each of the dragons out of the novels.I am tempted to subtract a star from my rating; the laundromat dragons were apparently crafted in a facility where they let the workers loose with airbrushes containing virtually every color in the rainbow - and they took ample advantage of the fact. I had collected multi-colored dragons in silver, gold, black, green, red, blue...you name it, and while there were a limited number of dragon body shapes, each one was fairly distinctive from all the others. This batch of dragons, however, only has about six different body shapes and each body shape is colored pretty much the same as the others who share the same body type. But combined with the couple I had from my original squadron I did manage to match the novel's dragons fairly well. So I'll let the five star rating stand - primarily because I am so delighted to succeed in my quest to supply our grand-niece with her very own fleet of Wings of Fire dragons.

Dragons were all single colours, no details painted.

A mis sobrinas de 4 y 6 años les han encantado: esta Navidad han preparado batallas de dragones y se lo han pasado muy bien con ellas.Son lo suficientemente resistentes como para aguantar su poco peso (se sentaron por accidente en alguna). Son lo suficientemente grandes y puntiagudas como para que la pequeña no quiera metérselas en la boca (podría, que le he visto meterse coches de juguete). Pesan lo suficientemente poco como para que al tirárselas la una a la otra no se hagan daño (salvo que tengan la malísima suerte de que le dé en un ojo, pero eso no paso afortunadamente). Y son lo suficientemente numerosas (cinco de cada tipo, creo, y hay seis o siete tipos) como para que no se peleen por tener una en concreto.Las compré porque no encontraba bombas de baño de dragones (solo las veo de dinosaurio), así que compré bombas normales y estas figuras aparte… ¡Todo un acierto!

Small cheap hard plastic dragons for a cheap price. Exactly what I was expecting. But the kids loved them.

Die Figürchen waren das i-Tüpfelchen auf dem Sahne-Topping der Cup Cakes, die es bei uns zu einer Geburtstagsfeier mit Drachen-Motto gab. Sie kamen bei den Kindern hervorragend an, alles bestens.
