Wow! Me too. Seeing the dragons in the Dragon Master commercials are what
brought me out of my dark ages.

I never thought that much about the dragons' design. I like the amount of
articulation that allows dragons to be posed for different emotions, but never
thought of the symetry you noticed.

Yeah, that would be great. White dragons with tranparent blue wings and flame
piece would be make nice cold-drakes. I'd like to see another dragon-centric
theme like DM or FN. (But, with better sets and helms.)

My dragons are all over my lands, and everywhere you find a dragon you will
find a "gifted" person that has bonded with it. Both the dragons and the people
that bond with them have two kinds of personalities.
"Malern" dragons find homes, nest and begin raising a clan, or if born into a
clan, spend their lives helping and the clan and defending it. People that
bond with malern dragons have the same nurturing and fiercely protecive nature.
"Falern" dragons wander all their lives, never settling, and rarely meeting
others of their kind. People that bond with falern dragons share their
independent, wandering nature.
