Those in the UK have probably seen the TV advert for one of those fortnightly magazine efforts that you get a free gift with every issue (you know the sort of thing, collect 50 million teapots or crystals or bond cars etc...) well the latest one is "Beasts and Beings" and the issue 1 has a dragon with it and future issues will have other mythical creatures and monsters (issue 2 is a werewolf, 3 is a Minotaur, and there will be things like zombie, ogre & cerberus)
obviously its's aimed at kids not adults but it's a good way to get them interested
I'm not a great fan of these fortnightly things because they rarely tell you how many there will be and they can keep adding to them like they did with the LOTR figures! but if you have or know people with kids they may be worth looking into
The dragon figure is larger than i was expecting, standing a good 6" tall! it does have a bit of a dinosaur body look to it with a dragon head and translucent resin wings but it's good for the young uns'.
I will say for me the best thing about all this is actually the first few seconds of the TV advert which you can see on the Official Website - www.beasts-and-beings.co.uk
I just thought you may be interested
