5 Stars Review
I received this product in a timely fashion. The package and the dragon wasn’t damaged in any way. My friend, who is a die hard D&D fan, loved it!! Will order from you in the future! Thanks.
4 Stars Gargantuan miniature is huge success
If you are planning a campaign to challenge the party, or if you just like cool dragons on your shelves this is a good buy. I docked one star because it seemed like a bit less attention was paid to this one versus the Red Dragon in the same series in regards to detail, but for half the size and price it is still very much a great addition to your collection or an even better starting point.
4 Stars Over all a good mini
Not as good as the Red Dragon but not as bad as the Black. Overall it is nice just like most the minis in Wizards line the mold lines are the killer.
Just like the Red and Black the details are great and so is the paint job.
5 Stars THE MASTER OF LIGHTNING!
Keep your fire-breathing Red Dragons and give me a good ol’ lightning blasting Blue Draon any day! Wizards of the Coast has done just that with their latest edition in the Icons line joining the aforementioned Red Dragon that was released last Fall. The Gargantuan Blue dragon can be used in both the D&D Miniatures skirmish game and any RPG campaign.
The Dragon is indeed gargantuan and impressive measuring around 8″ long (and that’s WITHOUT the tail extended) and stands about 6″ tall. The Dragon’s paint job is a nice glossy, bright blue which reflects the light very well creating an almost shimmering appearance which I really liked. The eyes have a certain evil malevolence to them that was also a very nice touch. The detail of the muscles and the beast’s scales and claws is very good. I also like the sharp, bony protrusions along the spine that actually look the way you’d expect bone to look. The only complaint with the paint job is with the teeth, which are simply, too white and should have been yellowed to match the age of a great and ancient dragon like this.
It of course comes on a base and will look wonderful on a shelf as a decorative item even if you don’t plan on using it in your gaming adventures. In addition it comes with a fold-out, full-color battle map, a game stat card and a scenario sheet. This lighting-spewing monstrosity is truly a site to behold and a fantastic new release from Wizards of the Coast. Highly recommended and well worth the price!

5 Stars An excellent addition to the Icons of Dungeons and Dragons
The Gargantuan Blue dragon is wonderfully detailed and its vibrant blue coloring makes it stand out. A true icon of the game, the blue dragon is a wonderful addition to your collection. As I have said about the other icon miniatures, if your intent is to only use this in a game as a miniature or encounter in your table top game, the price is a little high unless your campaign calls for many Blue dragon attacks. But, as a display or collector item it is very much worth its price. I love my Icon Dragons, I will most likely purchase any others they produce. This is a beautiful set of figures.
