Found these great dragon figurines at Five Below while running errands for my mother today!

They are static (no articulation) heavy vinyl and are quite rigid. They are cast in a single color with a black wash over them to bring out the details.

3 of the 4 sculpts (one sculpt is duplicated in the set) are "inspired" by dragon figurines from Schleich and Safari Ltd. The 4th sculpt is not one I recognize.

The red and purple dragons are based on the Dragon Warrior from Schleich's "Eldrador" line.

The blue dragon is based on the Sea Dragon from Safari Ltd.

The green dragon is based on the Dragon Hunter figurine also from Schleich's "Eldrador" line (my all time favorite dragon from the line).

The orange one is the one I do not recognize from any previous line.

I really like these figurines and plan to repaint them in a realistic manner. I want to grab 4 more sets when I have some more fun money.

Dan, seeing your vault of stuff reminds me of the Mythbusters. There's this episode where they show all their stuff for reference. There's nothing they don't have in their studio including a big box of different action figures. And I think you got about the same amount of cool stuff! If you want to start a project you don't need to go to a store because all the materials needed are already there.
I'm quite impressed.

All of my fodder is in storage since my move, but it is a mighty sight to behold LOL
