hi y'all ~
do you like the lego dragon figure? i love it and think it's a beautiful
design. i admire the shared modularity of the skull and tail with the
"gator-dile" figure. the great design also shows in the way the wing, when
raised, follows the curved lines of the haunch and the smaller wings on the
back of the head. when folded down, the wing again follows the curve of the
haunch and the the wing "thumb" fits nice and neatly between the spikes of
the raised arm. the shape is angular and geometric like lego, but also
organic with an elegant curved art nouveau style. i think the lego dragon
is just beautiful! they are great in green and black, but 'd love to see
TLC make red or orange ones!
in mythology and symbolism, dragons mean a great many different things. a
complex and universal symbol, the dragon is generally the combination of
matter and spirit. in different mythologies, the dragon can be good, evil,
or neutrally ambivalent.
as in our world, the dragons in Castle World will have many different
meanings and identities, as per balladeer!. i'd love to hear some!
guardians of treasure! forces of nature! savage mounts for fierce
warriors! portals of esoteric knowledge! beloved pets! nemesis of
knights! or just plain wild creatures!
what are your dragons up to?
later ~ craig~

| I'll second that. If I had a dragon wish though, it would be for trans or solid green wings, and red dragons.

| (...) I think the Dragon-fig is really cool! I bought my first one very recently when I found the Witch's Windship for $5 at KB toy. I bought the set just to get the dragon.

| (...) Am I the oddball out? I don't particularly care for the dragon-- mainly due to its lack of mobility :( It's great for that one pose that it's stuck in, but I'd LOVE it if could bend its head (either side to side or up and down) or could lower (...)
