The dragon is a legendary creature of which some interpretation or depiction appears in almost every culture worldwide. The physical description and supposed abilities of the creature vary immensely according to the different cultures in which it appears. However, the unifying feature of almost all interpretations is it being a serpentine or otherwise reptilian monster (or at least possessing a serpentine/reptilian part or trait), and often possessing magical or spiritual qualities. The two most familiar interpretations of dragons are either European dragons, derived from various European folk traditions, or unrelated Oriental dragons, derived from the Chinese dragon (lóng,龍,龙). The word "dragon" derives from Greek δράκων (drakōn), "a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon" and that from δρακεῖν (drakein) aorist infinitive active of the verb δέρκομαι (derkomai) "I see clearly".

Big, beautiful boy!
I orginally saw this dragon statue at a gift shop while on vacation, but had to leave without it. I got home and checked Amazon, and there it was! I decided that it had to join my dragon collection. If you are going to spend nearly $200 on only one dragon statue in your life, I recommend this one. It's intricately detailed and beautifully painted. It is also very large and heavy, so make sure you have a place to put it. It's over 15 inches deep with the wingspan, almost 19 inches tall, and about 17 inches wide. It arrived well packaged, double boxed and encased in styrofoam. It comes with the wings detached, but it's very easy to attach them, and once they are slid into place, they are very secure. Also of note, the lid for the treasure chest is magnetic. An expensive (by my standards) purchase, but I absolutely love it, and consider it worth the price. I have seen dragon statues that are smaller, poorly painted, and look almost comical for similar prices to what I paid for this.

Very Happy! Would do it again!
I was a little concerned about going ahead with this order. I've ordered items like this in the past only to find they arrive in pieces. The packaging was really well done. The item was double boxed, with a layer of bubble wrap separating the two boxes. The styrofoam used to house the dragon was placed appropriately and did an exceptional job of protecting the item during shipment.As for the item itself, it looks really good on top of my bookcase! I couldn't be happier. I thought it was a little on the expensive side and feared I wouldn't get my money's worth. I feel happy with the purchase and would do it again in a second. The item is quality and you usually can expect to pay a little more when you get something of this level of quality.Assembling the dragon's wings was a snap. It literally was done in about 30 seconds. I'm really happy with this and I am glad I found it! I expect to have this for many years to come.

Very impressive
This sculpture was larger than expected, which is always a good thing when it comes to things like this. The quality is very good. The paint job was awesome and the details is excellent. The wings snap on but that's the only assembly required. And the wings are held secure once snapped in, so they are stable.I would definitely recommend this dragon sculpture for anyone looking for a high quality display piece wanting a WOW factor.

Spendy but worth my money
So I'm a little obsessed with dragons right now and I fell in love with this one when I saw it. I always read reviews and there were a lot of positives so I decided to order it despite the steep price. Thankfully the packaging was done well and it arrived intact. The only problem is the Styrofoam nubs that you wind up having to clean off of the figurine and your carpet if that is where you decide to unbox it. All in all I love this dragon and can't stop admiring it. I have previously ordered 2 other dragon figurines from this company so I knew I would get some quality product.

Great sculpture, detailed and color choices. Think they let the new guy paint it.
Great detail and color choices, but the paint guy had a bad day. The grey shadowing looks like polka dots, no grading whatsoever. Not worth it but it has potential to be beautiful. Would give a four star because the sculpture and design is great but couldn't do it cause my dragon looks slightly wussiesh due to polka dots. Ugh! Update: reached out to ebros, the seller, they offered 10% refund for my dislike of the paint. They then promptly failed to give it to me. Used to be my go to for this style of piece but not any more. Disappointed in you guys.

Another Great Ebros Collectible...
The piece itself is simply amazing...great detail, good paint job, overall an impressive statue. Best yet...the seller Ebros Gifts is awesome. I have order a ton of dragon related product from Ebros over the past nine months, including all three of their large Dragon Statues. None of them have disappointed They ship fast, it seems like every order I have placed has been shipped within 24 hours. They routinely beat the shipping times listed when ordering. More importantly, they do a fantastic job packing your order. Seriously...I have placed more than 12+ orders...many of them very fragile items...and nothing has arrived broken.

Better than your mental picture!
It isn't very often that something comes along and exceeds your expectations... Well, this is one of those times! That picture you have in your head of how it looks? Yeah, it's better than that! Your expectations on how it's shipped? Better than that too! Your expectations on weight? Double it!Seriously, if you are thinking about it, stop thinking and do it! You will not be disappointed! This is one of those few products that after you open it, you feel better about the purchase than when you bought it! The texture is polished... everything is as it should be... You have nothing to be worried about!

Epic piece!! Amazing! Haven't seen anything like it
One of the best pieces I have ever purchased. More beautiful in person, and alot bigger in person. Hesitated a long while before purchasing because of the price, BUT once I received it and saw it, I'm so happy I purchased it. Well worth it!! I love dragons but even if one doesn't, it's a beautiful piece and so detailed. I can go on and on about it!!! Love it!!!
