Very cool.  How poseable is it?  I love the head--very dragon-y.

I'm cross-posting to .castle because there are lots of dragon lovers there.

The head was made first when I was just playing around with pieces that were
new to me. I noticed they looked like a dragon head and the rest was built
from that idea.

Each arm has three technic ball joints in it, the hip has one, the knees and
feet hinge, each wing is attached by a ball joint, the neck has a hinge plus
2 ball joints, the mouth opens and the tail has some back and forth motion.
So it is very poseble. The problem with some poses is that if the tail is
off the ground the hip ball joints won't hold the weight and it will not
balance. Then it crashes down.
